“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.“ Ralph Waldo Emerson
”To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment.

Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.
Herman Melville
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love
This famous passage from her book is often erroneously attributed to the inaugural address of Nelson Mandela. About the misattribution Williamson said, "Several years ago, this paragraph from A Return to Love began popping up everywhere, attributed to Nelson Mandela's 1994 inaugural address. As honoured as I would be had President Mandela quoted my words, indeed he did not. I have no idea where that story came from, but I am gratified that the paragraph has come to mean so much to so many people."
Conscience is God’s presence in man
Emanuel Swedenborg
“There is nourishment like bread that feeds one part of your life, Nourishment like light for another.
“There are many rules about restraint with the former, But only one rule for the latter, Never be satisfied.
“Eat and drink the soul substance as a wick does with the oil it soaks in. Give light to the company.”
Rumi
In a short conversation with Milarepa he said “Everything is one, everything is God, we are all one, we can but love everything and thereby love God. You show your gratitude and love by living your life to the full.”
“Render a love song every morning,
Sing with the crickets in the evening,
Then go to sleep, expect sweet dreaming.
“The white Light of God lights the way,
The piercing Sound of God leads the way;
How could a pilgrim-soul go astray?”
Gabriel Ezutah, Pebbles of Sound.
No man is an island
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne, Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, Meditation XVII:
“The greatest thing we can possibly gain from this life is the ability to love, and to love greatly. The Holy Spirit, the ECK, brings us whatever we need and, especially, those who need us and whom we need to fulfil our goal of reaching the richness of love.
“Your children have come to you because of your great capacity to give love. And as you give love, it increases in you.”
Harold Klemp, A Modern Prophet Answers Your Key Questions About Life.
“We must remind ourselves as often as possible that our true life is not this external, material life that appears before our eyes here on Earth, but that it is the inner life of our spirit for which the visible life serves only as a scaffolding – a necessary aid to our spiritual growth… We must remind ourselves and one another that the scaffolding has no meaning or importance, except to make possible the erection of the building itself.”
Leo Tolstoy
“One of the most important questions you can ever ask yourself is, ‘Do I want to be ‘right’ – or do I want to be happy?’ Many times, the two are mutually exclusive!”
Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…
