'Quiet' is the gateway to having everything you want.

"You did the best you could. If you could have done better you would have. Guilt is a trick of the ego. It says, woe is me." - Dr. David R. Hawkins, M.D., PhD

“Spiritual illumination reveals that we are not mortals, not even humans, but that we are pure spiritual beings, divine consciousness, Self sustaining light, all-inclusive mind. This light destroys the illusions of personal sense.” ~ The Infinite Way

Finding the "I"-ness in you.

The harder we try to not create what we do not want, the stronger we’re holding on to the idea; thus, the more likely we are to create it in our reality.

How can we distinguish between what we can and cannot change?

The Truth shall set you free.

Growth comes by daring to risk more of the unknown than we are willing to risk. Dare it, venture it — and grow.
Declare,

Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh.

Growth comes by daring to risk more of the unknown than we are willing to risk. Dare it, venture it — and grow.
Declare,

I am entitled to miracles.

As long as we wonder whether a certain action can make us happy, it cannot do so, for we bring our still-divided mind into it. Vernon Linwood Howard

 You are entitled to miracles because of what you are.

You will receive miracles because of what God is.
And you will offer miracles because you are one with God.

Both evil and good must be released.

All damaging deeds are done in the dark. All self-injury, every act of evil is done by a man or a group of people who do not know what they are doing at the time of hurting the world, including themselves because they are also in the world that they hurt.

Which set of eyes are you looking through?

"You read in the newspapers quite frequently where car manufacturers send their cars out on to the open highway and after a while they have to recall them. Somewhere along the road the car disclosed a defect and so they all have to be recalled back to the factory for repair, and I wonder how many of you can think what I am thinking?

Shall I have a grand summary question as follows:

Practice the Presence.

Do not be silly about accepting presents from people who love you. Be grateful for assistance offered. Your kindly cheerfulness is ample return. Love is better than money: “I love them that love me.” ECH

To succeed, you need only understand ...

The forms and ceremonies of the church are all symbolical of interior processes.

As external forms they are nothing at all, and have no power in themselves. Annie Rix Militz

Divine Goodness folds you round and bears you on.

What, then, is the miraculous message of mysticism?

Happiness is yours in the here and now. The painful states of anxiety and loneliness are abolished permanently. Financial affairs are not financial problems. You are at ease with yourself. You are not at the mercy of unfulfilled cravings. Confusion is replaced with clarity. There is a relieving answer to every tormenting question. You possess a True Self. Something can be done about every unhappy condition. While living in the world you can be inwardly detached from its sorrows to live with personal peace and sanity.

Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

 “Lord heal me” is the only legitimate prayer. This also means

truth will not be withheld from you

You are faithful to duty in whatsoever calling you may be placed - by nature. You will be proficient and efficient by saying always:

How the Light of Truth Sets You Free

You will keep yourself healthy by declaring that:
“No evil can come nigh me. God is my health.”
Emma Curtis Hopkins

The Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him

"The first step in the undoing is to recognize that you actively decided wrongly, but can as actively decide otherwise. Be very firm with yourself in this, and keep yourself fully aware that the undoing process, which does not come from you, is nevertheless within you because God placed it there. Your part is merely to return your thinking to the point at which the error was made, and give it over to the Atonement in peace.

Say this to yourself as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitation:

God is love.

Do not look for rest in any pleasure, because you were not created for pleasure: You were created for spiritual JOY. And if you do not know the difference between pleasure and spiritual joy, you have not yet begun to live. Thomas Merton

The more our mind wanders, the less happy we can be.

You must learn to respond in a positive way to a negative condition. Now the negative condition that you have is in you. You’re it.
Therefore, when you respond in a positive way to a negative condition, you are working with and on you, never, never, never with anything exterior to yourself.

Now, to respond in a positive way to a negative condition really means recognition of the thing that is wrong, the depressed thought, the excited attitude because you think you’re going to gain something.

What you have to do therefore is to simply say to yourself, which is a positive statement, 'I feel pain and strain, therefore there is something wrong.' Isn’t that great? Vernon Linwood Howard

Guy Finley: Allowing the rushed state of another person to push you into an anxious state of mind is like letting the horse you're about to ride convince you to wear the saddle! more

Happiness Is Good. Bliss is Better.

Nothing can keep you from being at the head of a large and successful enterprise if you have held daily the idea: “God prospers me.” Emma Curtis Hopkins

The real purpose of this world is to use it to correct your unbelief. ACIM Ch.1.VI.4

The song of Heaven sounds around the world, as it is lifted up and brought to truth.

If we want to develop a mental attitude that will bring us peace and happiness, here is Rule 1: Think and act cheerfully, and you will feel cheerful. ~ William James @pvrguy

  "Someday you will know what it means to die instantly to thought.

I am not the victim of the world I see.

You can escape from the world you see without and the world you see within,
for the inner is the cause of the outer. 

When you mess up, 'fess up. ~Author Unknown

Work on yourself first, take responsibility for your own progress. ~I Ching
