Few find inner peace but this is not because they try and fail, it is because they do not try. . . When your life is governed by the divine nature instead of the self-centered nature you have found inner peace.
If you did not face problems you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.
When you have found inner peace, you are in constant contact with the source of universal energy and cannot be tired. . . You have endless energy.
Religion is to be used as a stepping stone to God but it must never be used as a tower to hold one aloft from others. We are all cells in the body of humanity. When anyone attempts to isolate another, they only isolate themselves more.
Religion is not an end in itself. One's union with God is the ultimate goal.
The simplified life is a sanctified life, Much more calm, much less strife. Oh, what wondrous truths are unveiled- Projects succeed which had previously failed. Oh, how beautiful life can be, Beautiful simplicity.
Constantly through thought you are creating your inner conditions and helping to create the conditions around you. So keep your thoughts on the positive side, think about the best that could happen, think about the good things you want to happen.
I wish that every child could have growing space because I think children are a little like plants. If they grow too close together, they become thin and sickly and never obtain maximum growth. We need room to grow.
All of us can work for peace. We can work right where we are, right within ourselves, because the more peace we have within our own lives, the more we can reflect into the outer situation.
Many common problems are caused by wrong attitudes. People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them. Naturally you won't be happy that way. You can only be happy when you see things in proper perspective: all human beings are of equal importance in God's sight, and have a job to do in the divine plan.
There is a spark of good in everybody, no matter how deeply it may be buried. It is the real you.
I deal with spiritual truth which should never be sold and need never be bought. When you are ready it will be given.
There is great freedom in simplicity of living.
Be willing to face life squarely and get down beneath the surface of life where the verities and realities are to be found.
