I am a student of universal spiritual principles, and I read theology and spiritual writings, so my grasp of basic spiritual principles is fairly good.

There are people today who look to fear to take us out of fear. But I believe that there are many, many more people who would look to love.

Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one the other disappears.

Self-awareness is not self-centeredness, and spirituality is not narcissism. 'Know thyself' is not a narcissistic pursuit.

People sometimes see an image and without knowing the surrounding patterns draw false conclusions.

We cannot give what we do not have: We cannot bring peace to the world if we ourselves are not peaceful. We cannot bring love to the world if we ourselves are not loving. Our true gift to ourselves and others lies not in what we have but in who we are.

Part of forgiving people is releasing them from our own agendas.
