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

Let your love propel your beloveds into the world-and into the full experience of who they are. In this will you have truly loved.

If you can tell the world who you are and what you believe without breaking stride or hesitating, you are happy with yourself.

All people are special, and all moments are golden. There is no person and there is no time more special than another. Many people choose to believe that God communicates in special ways and only with special people. This removes the mass of the people from responsibility for hearing God's message, much less receiving it (which is another matter), and allows them to take someone else's word for everything.

In the previous days and times, we've been involved, not exclusively, but largely, in the process of individual survival: How do I get through the day, how do I get through the week, how do I get through the month? In the 21st century, we're learning that we can no longer concentrate on individual survival strategies, that unless we begin to coalesce those strategies and learn how we can survive collectively, that no individual is going to survive in the long run.

There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do. There is nothing you cannot have.

There is no need to punish yourself. Simply notice what you've been choosing and choose again.
