Replacing physical priorities with spiritual priorities can change everything.

If you listen to your soul you will know what is "best" for you, because what is best for you is what is true for you.

Religion asks you to learn from the experience of others. Spirituality urges you to seek your own.

I feel the presence of God when I feel the essence of divinity in anything and everything around me.

A thing is only right or wrong because you say it is. A thing is not right or wrong intrinsically.

To have a friendship with God, all I really have to do is have a friendship with my Self.

No highly evolved being would ever seek to control the thoughts of anyone, or cause anyone to think or act involuntarily. More along the lines of inspiration and invitation. As when one suddenly experiences an insight, or says, "I've just had a great idea." They can accept it and act on it, or reject it out of hand. There's no "control" involved.
