We are all One. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.

With you, it seems to be merely a question of time. The legality of self-destruction—the "rightness" or "wrongness" of it—seems to have much to do with how quickly the deed is done, as well as who is doing it. The faster the death, the more "wrong" it seems to be. The slower the death, the more it slips into "okayness.

If you manipulate energy long enough in a certain way, you get matter. Every Master understands this law. It is the alchemy of the universe. It is the secret of all life.

Success in any area of your life is not found in producing what you think you must produce on your journey, it's found in the love, the joy, the happiness, and the sense of True Self that you experience—and that others experience in their life because of you—along the way.

God says you may not have anything you want. Why is this so? Answer #19: Because the mere act of wanting something tells the Universe that you don't have it, and the Universe has no choice but to reflect that back in your reality.

Just because your heart knows a secret. And because your soul knows what the secret is. Smile at that. Smile a lot. It will cure whatever ails you.

Inquire within, rather than without, asking: What part of my Self do I wish to experience now? What aspects of being do I choose to call forth?

economic—when economic security and basic materialistic needs are guaranteed to all—then incentive will not disappear, but be of a different sort, increasing in strength and determination, producing true greatness, not the kind of transparent, transient "greatness" which present incentives produce.

You have created sexual embarrassment, repression, and shame—which has led to sexual inhibition, dysfunction, and violence. You will, as a society, always be inhibited about that over which you are embarrassed; always be dysfunctional with behaviors which have been repressed, and always act out violently in protest of being made to feel shame about that over which you know in your heart you should never have felt shame at all.
