church community experience grace great grew love methodist people rhetorical spiritual talked
I grew up in a little Methodist church that was very rural, very community support-oriented, made up of great people who talked about love and grace and the spiritual experience, but only in rhetorical terms.
doors force foreign gives greatest life opens people step
There's a destiny for everybody. The world is set up - as foreign as that can be to some people who are very materialistic - but there is a force in this world, once we step into it, that opens doors for us, that gives us a sense of purpose and the greatest life there is, in my view.
interested people simply whether
A lot of people are simply interested in exploring their own spirituality, their own values, who they are, whether they're happy where they are.
certain people recommend
I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.

children people focus
It is important to communicate to children about what we are going through. We often speak in half truths. We don't frame the truth or explain our experience in terms they can understand. We need to take time to do this. What has to happen is that more people have to get involved with more children. Focus energy on the child. Children are raising themselves these days in all sorts of strange ways.
love people feelings
Our experience of love is more of a measure of whether we're connected with the universal source of this energy. In other words, there's some life energy that we have and sort of share with people we might be relating to that takes place, that operates whether we're sort of feeling in a state of love or not. But love is the measure of whether we're really connected with the internal source of this energy where we can consciously sort of fill up and amplify the amount of energy that we're able to take in from the inside.
people leader religion
Religions become corrupted when leaders are assigned to explain God's will to people instead of showing them how to find this direction within themselves.
running order people
Remember to stop as often as necessary to re-connect your energy. Stay full, stay in a state of love. Remember that once you achieve the state of love, nothing nor anyone can pull more energy from you that you can replace. In fact, the energy flowing out of you creates a current that pulls energy into you at the same rate. You can never run out. But you must stay conscious of this process in order for it to work. This is especially important when you interact with people.
stress people use
How many people do you know who are obsessed with their work, who are type A or have stress related diseases and who can’t slow down? They can’t slow down because they use their routine to distract themselves, to reduce life to only its practical considerations. And they do this to avoid recalling how uncertain they are about why they live.
intuitive trial
Most intuitive ideas have to be clarified, so there is a trial and error process.
brought life stay wherever
Wherever we are in life is where destiny has brought us. It doesn't mean we have to stay there.
consciousness dreams fulfilling pursuing spiritual
Spiritual consciousness is, on the whole, very adventurous and all about pursuing our deepest, most fulfilling dreams.
amount best cease centered certain distance maddening order running stay
What I need in order to stay creative and centered is a certain amount of distance from the maddening crowd. You cease to be your best self if you're running too fast.
