The problem is that we have allowed our egos, the part of us which believes that we are separate from God and separate from each other, to dominate our lives.

Your imagination creates the inner picture that allows you to participate in the act of creation.

When you acquire enough inner peace and feel really positive about yourself, it's almost impossible for you to be controlled and manipulated by anybody else.

Hold on to your vision and make it your reality.

Self worth cannot be verified by others. You are worthy because you say it is so. If you depend on others for your value it is other-worth.

We believe that God is like a giant vending machine in the sky. We put in our requests in the form of prayers, and then the vending machine dispenses these prayers based upon how well we've followed the rules that someone else has told us are God's rules.

Just be honest with who you are. Don't pretend to be something you're not. Don't be a phony. Walk your talk. That's how God works, so doing it is emulating how Source works.
