Those are all things that I learned performing at the cabaret after just doing the same scenes over and over and over again over the years, with my own ability to change.

And I certainly embedded that in my psyche and I have lived that very effectively.

If youโre waiting to achieve it someday in the future, itโs a goal.

The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world's peoples.

Thomas J. StanleyWe live under the power of Modern Consciousness, which means that we are obsessed with progress. Wherever you are is not good enough. We always want to achieve something, rather than experience something. The opposite of this is Spiritual Consciousness. By that I mean you find enchantment in every action you do, rather in just the results of your action. Spiritual Consciousness is not a particular religion but a way of being.

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

Charles KennedySex is an aspect of human existence that has fallen prey in special measure to a very special form of theological science: the theological outgrowth or offshoot known as moral theology.
