I don't think of myself as a very famous person, but the modicum of celebrity that I've had has not been a positive experience for me at all.

It's tempting to think that decisions that are not life-and-death are therefore unimportant, and that the little compromises we make don't matter to our bottom line or our spiritual selves. How many of us are tempted, in business, to make a less-than-ethical decision? To appropriate someone else's idea or fudge some numbers? We have to remember that maintaining our ethical and spiritual selves is absolutely linked with achieving the degree of success we're working toward.

Whenever we feel lost, or insane, or afraid, all we have to do is ask for His help. The help might not come in the form we expected, or even thought we desired, but it will come, and we will recognize it by how we feel. In spite of everything, we will feel at peace.

We're hallucinating. And that's what this world is: a mass hallucination, where fear seems more real than love. Fear is an illusion. Our craziness, paranoia, anxiety and trauma are literally all imagined.

God gives us His strength by giving us His vision of things. Our seeing people as innocent is the only way to achieve God’s peace.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

When the heart is pierced, there is pain, yes, but also an invitation to a greater becoming.
