Honor the tradition but expand the understanding. That's what religions must do right now if they hope to be helpful to humans in the years ahead.
Neale Donald WalschThe act of resisting something is the act of granting it life... the more you resist, the more you make it real - whatever it is you are resisting.
Neale Donald WalschAll 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.
Neale Donald WalschWhen we love another, we never ever seek to limit or restrict them in any way whatsoever. Love says, "My will for you is your will for you." Love says, "I choose for you what you choose for you." When I say, "I choose for you what I choose for you," then I'm not loving you. I'm loving me through you, because I'm getting what I want, rather than seeing you get what you want.
