Where there is no change, there can be no growth. Where there is no growth, there can be no life. (6/10/2008)
To speak ill of something without forethought is harmful. To speak ill of something with forethought is evil. (6/09/2008)
If we already ARE what we're striving to BE, how can we fail to BECOME? (5/26/2008)
Ego uses a lot of tricks to keep us from overcoming our self-imposed limitations. One of its favorites is to get us to feel good about ourselves when we think we're doing the "right" thing. Much of our spiritual growth is simply learning to overcome our thinking. (5/25/08)

You will never find unlimited love or unlimited peace or unlimited joy looking for them from a perspective of limitation. (2/18/08)
Love another for the joy of loving them; never for any other reason. If you love any other because they validate, by any measure, your existence, then you have relinquished every measure of your own self-worth and power. No one on earth or in heaven is any greater than you are. (2/17/08)
No gift of love is ever wasted. (2/17/08)
If you think that anything is greater than, or more powerful than you are, then you have given away all your power to that which you think. (2/16/08)
What does it matter how wealthy or poor one is as long as he lives in joy? Too many people equate value with cost. They often believe that something free of charge is worthless; something expensive is valuable.

Any condition of being that is subject to change is a false reality. (1/05/2008)
Poverty is when you center yourself in the energies of lack and view challenges as struggles. Wealth is when you center yourself in the energies of abundance and view challenges as opportunities. (1/02/2008)

Too often, those who continually strive to achieve are not looking for achievement but rather, the recognition of it. (8/06/07)

For those who fear God but believe that God has given mankind free will, you have to ask who they really fear: God for the punishment or himself for making a "wrong" choice? (8/01/07)

I've often heard it said that there is a big difference between a journey to God and a journey in God. But, I have to ask, how is it possible to go to something that you're already in? (7/06/07)
Some people are as conscious of God as a fish is aware of the ocean. (undated)

Purity is but another expression of Love.
To deny the existence of God is to deny the laws of physics.
The ends justify the means only when the means justify themselves.
Our every action is nothing more than a chosen response to our perceptions.
If you want the freedom of choice, you must also accept the responsibility of making choices.
Tolerance without prudence is complicity.
Your only fundamental freedom is your belief in yourself to succeed.
There is far more harm done through anger than through human error.
Uncertainty is a tool to open a lock rather than the lock itself.
It's not difficult to be remarkable if you believe in yourself.
The greatest act of obliteration is disbelief.
Revolutions start with whispers of discontent.
Mastery is the ability to make continued improvement.
Those who most fear death have least respected life.
Failure isn't a finish. It's a line to be crossed.
There are no exceptions to absolutes.
Laws will never apply to us unless we apply ourselves to them.
As our choices are chipped away, so is our power. When we point to external conditions or circumstances to validate our actions, we have voluntarily abdicated all our power.
The most difficult thing to argue is not undisputed authority, but unbridled ignorance.
Do not approach anyone with a problem in one hand without holding a possible solution or a willingness for resolution in the other.
Your own persistence is your only true indicator of your belief in yourself to succeed.
Our ability to reason through a problem is determined by the degree of value we place on its solution.
Guilt is the only weapon of control for which the victim determines the severity of force.
Bravery is not marked by a lack of fear but by the manner in which one faces it.
No home is too humble or too meager for friendship or Love.
Forgiveness is the key to ALL spiritual growth.
Having a sense of duty gives me a sense of honor.
Infinity and eternity can neither be measure nor divided.
Too many times our expectations get us into trouble. They not only open doors for disappointment, but also dictate our actions and reactions to events before we experience them.
As long as a person feels victimized, he will be a victim. As long as a person feels helpless, he will be powerless. As long as either condition exists, the world will continue to shit on him.
The objects of our angers are never the causes of them.
All true power is self-generated.
The soul hears only the voice of Love. Its only language is that of truth.
Choice is the only thing, and the every thing we have.
We identify ourselves in relationship to all else that exists.
By placing judgment on your own state of being, you create a point of reference from which you judge all other things.
The spiritual journey isn't a matter of going anywhere. It's a simple matter of Being there.
It has taken me many years to understand what I have come to know in an instant.
A person holds an image of God in his mind because he does not see God with his eyes.
Innocence is what remains when you have removed all guilt from your actions, words, and thoughts.
Joy is not happiness. Joy is a perpetual sense of well-being and freedom to express and receive Love.
Where there is no resistance, there can be no force.
Limitations exist to serve us.
We blind ourselves to all that IS because we blind ourselves to who we ARE.
The amount of fear we feel is in direct proportion to the amount of Love we block.
Avoiding fear isn't what keeps you from feeling afraid. Avoiding lies isn't what keeps you honest. Avoiding pain isn't what keeps you from feeling hurt. Avoidance only keeps you in denial.
Spiritual mission and progress are the same.
Both the controlled and the controller are equally tied to the traces.
Caring is not the same thing as having expectation born of desire, or desire born of expectation.
Spiritual connectivity is not limited by distance. It's determined by resonance.
Forgiveness is feeling with Love what you once felt with pain.
We live by intent. When our actions reflect our intent, we feel balanced and at peace.
Power is not the same thing as ability. Ability is your expression of a spiritual law. Power is your manner of being and knowing who you are.
Confusion is nothing more than an indication that your belief system is about to change.
When you deny responsibility, you limit freedom.
One must overcome the complex to conclude the simple.
You cannot do what you believe to be wrong.
Religions are made for people who have not yet developed a comfort level with a belief system greater than their egos.
You can only be who you are through expressing what you know to be true.
