There is no such thing as a faithless person; we either have faith in the power of love, or faith in the power of fear. For faith is an aspect of consciousness. Have faith in love, and fear will lose its power over you. Have faith in forgiveness, and your self-hatred will fall away. Have faith in miracles, and they will come to you.

If you think humanity can get itself out of all this mess without divine help, then you're not being hopeful - you're hallucinating.

The part of the brain that is watching the television and is on the computer at the same time, preparing to jump onto the treadmill for 15 minutes, might be able to lead into sex, but it would be hard put to lead us to romance, or to real authentic human connection.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. When you choose to love, you choose to work miracles.

Choosing joy involves spiritual surrender, and sometimes we would rather hold on to the pain than surrender our egos.

The greatest force of personal liberation is the decision to widen our circle of compassion, moving from focus on self to focus on service.
