The first thing to understand about the universe is that no condition is “good” or “bad.” It just is. So stop making value judgments.
to a doctor or a nurse, death is failure. To a friend or relative, death is disaster. Only to the soul is death a relief—a release.
The greatest gift you can give the dying is to let them die in peace—not thinking that they must “hang on,” or continue to suffer, or worry about you at this most crucial passage in their life.
The soul is after the feeling. Not the knowledge, but the feeling. It already has the knowledge, but knowledge is conceptual. Feeling is experiential. The soul wants to feel itself, and thus to know itself in its own experience.
The highest feeling is the experience of unity with All That Is. This is the great return to Truth for which the soul yearns. This is the
feeling of perfe...

You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience,
strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always.
Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you’re being right now.
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.
it is in your God space that you Self realize, and that is the purpose—the only purpose—of your soul.
When you are in your God space, you know and understand that all you are now experiencing is temporary. I tell you that heaven
and Earth shall pass away, but you shall not. This everlasting perspective helps you to see t...

the purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.
If you cannot love your Self, you cannot love another.
You must first see your Self as worthy before you can see another as worthy. You must first see your Self as blessed before you can see another as blessed. You must first know your Self to be holy before you can acknowledge holiness in another.
Doing is a function of the body. Being is a function of the soul.
The body is always doing something. Every minute of every day it’s up to something. It never stops, it never rests, it’s constantly doing something.
It’s either doing what it’s doing at the behest of the soul—or in spite of the soul. The quality of y...

The soul is forever being. It is being what it is being, regardless of what the body is doing, no...

Your soul cares only about what you’re being while you’re doing whatever you’re doing.
It is a state of beingness the soul is after, not a state of doingness.
You are not on this planet to produce anything with your body. You are on this planet to produce something with your soul.
Your body
is simply and merely the tool of your soul. Your mind is the power that makes the body go. So what you have here is a power tool, used...

The function of the soul is to
indicate its desire, not impose it. The function of the mind is to choose from its alternatives. The function of the body is to act out that choice. When body, mind, and soul create together, in harmony and in unity, God is made flesh.
Thought, word, and deed are the three levels of creation. Still with Me?
Worry is just about the worst form of mental activity there is—next to hate, which is deeply self destructive. Worry is pointless. It is wasted mental energy.
Health will improve almost at once when worrying ends. Worry is the activity of a mind which does not understand its connection with Me.
Fear is the opposite of everything you are, and so has an effect of opposition to your mental and physical health. Fear is worry magnified.
Worry, hate, fear—together with their offshoots: anxiety, bitterness, impatience, avarice, unkindness, judgmentalness, and condemnation—all attack the body at the cellular level. It is impossible to have a healthy body under these conditions.
Healers have just such faith. It is a faith that crosses over into Absolute Knowing. They know that you are meant to be whole, complete, and perfect in this moment now. This knowingness is also a thought—and a very powerful one.
Listen to Me in the truth of your soul. Listen to Me in the feelings of your heart. Listen to Me in the quiet of your mind.
My Truth is in the whisper of the wind, the babble of the brook, the crack of the thunder, the tap of the rain.
The fastest way to stop hiding out is to tell the truth. To everyone. All the time. Start telling the truth now, and never stop. Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself. Then tell the truth to yourself about another.
Then tell the truth about yourself to another. Then tell the truth about another to that other. Finally, tell the truth to everyone about everything. These are the Five Levels of Truth Telling. This is the five-fold path to freedom. The truth shall set you free.
the soul creates, the mind reacts.
The soul speaks to you in feelings. Listen to your feelings. Follow your feelings. Honor your feelings.
If you listen to your soul you will know what is “best” for you, because what is best for you is what is true for you.
Feelings are the language of the soul. And your soul is your truth.
Feelings are neither negative nor destructive. They are simply truths. How you express your truth is what matters.
Failure to express (i.e., push out) negative feelings does not make them go away; it keeps them in. Negativity “kept in” harms the body and burdens the soul.
come to each moment cleanly, without a previous thought about it, you can create who you are, rather than re-enact who you once were.
You have come to this world in this way, at this time, in this place, to Know Who You Are—and to create Who You Wish to Be.
