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

For centuries you have been taught that love-sponsored action arises out of the choice to be, do, and have whatever produces the highest good for another. Yet I tell you this: the highest choice is that which produces the highest good for you.

You can choose to be courageous enough to explore and examine the new understanding, and , it it aligns with your inner truth and knowing, to enlarge your belief system to include it.

You claim that any promise which gives you the power, and guarantees you the love of God must be the false promise of the devil.

...so many great truths must be very gently introduced, with voices soft and the truths themselves understated.

Your job, your invitation from the Universe, is to give people back to themselves. You can do this every day, in a hundred ways. All you have to do is look for the best in that person, and then show it to them, right then and there. Describe it. Admire it. Thank them for it. Why not practice it with the first three people you encounter after reading this?

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.
