Self-creation never ends. You are continually creating yourself from the field of infinite possibilities. You are, in every moment, born again. And so is everyone else.

The way to reduce the pain which you associate with earthly experiences and events-both yours and those of others-is to change the way you behold them.

I do not care what you do, and that is hard for you to hear. Yet do you care what your children do when you send them out to play?

You say, "I love you very much," and then the disappointment begins.
