I wondered what else in my life I perceived to be wrong or difficult instead of exploring to understand the true purpose.

They never tell a lie, not a small fabrication, not a partial truth, nor any gross unreal statement. No lies at all, so they have nothing to hide. They are a group of people who are not afraid to have their minds open.

I learned that as long as I had anything in my heart or head I still felt necessary to hide, it would not work. I had to come to peace with everything.

...the limitations of my endurance were expanded over and over. At times I felt that if I did not sit down I would collapse. Then something would happen to attract my attention...miraculously, the distraction always provided wings, carrying new strength, a second wind.

We automatically give to each person we meet, but we choose what we give. Our words, our actions, must consciously set the stage for the life we wish to lead.

All diseases and disorders have some spiritual connection and serve as stepping stones for us to listen to and learn from.

I had not found a new religion but I had found a new faith.
