In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime.
Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place.
Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.
You teach best what you most need to learn.
Don’t turn away from possible futures before you’re certain you don’t have anything to learn from them.
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they’re yours.
Imagine the universe beautiful and just and perfect. Then be sure of one thing: the Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have.
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.
The original sin is to limit the Is. Don’t.
A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed. It feels an impulsion… This is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.
The world is your exercise-book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality, although you can express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write nonsense, or lies, or to tear the pages.
Your conscience is the measure of your honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you ;have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you’re alive, it isn’t.
In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
The work of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
Everything in this book may be wrong.
From the book Disappearance of the Universe:
The nonsensical tragedy of duality is considered to be normal by all modern societies, which are themselves as mad as a hatter.
Humility is the way – not a false humility that says you are inadequate, but a real humility that simply says God is your only source.
…people…completely overlooked the logic that for God to create the imperfect must either mean that He Himself was imperfect or He deliberately made those who were so they could screw up, be punished by Him, and suffer here on psycho planet. Then, according to this developing new religion, God takes – incredibly – His big-time special only begotten Son, who would apparently be more Holy than the rest of the scum of the earth, and sends him as a blood sacrifice to suffer and die on a cross as a way of vicariously atoning for people’s sins. Except now there’s another big problem, because even according to Christianity’s own doctrines, this does not really atone for anybody else’s sins. If it atoned for people’s sins, then that would be the end of it. Problem solved. But no! It now becomes necessary for everyone to blindly believe in all of the details conveniently set forth exclusively by the Christian religion, or else they will still burn in hell, even if they happen to be born – presumably by God’s will – in a place, time, or culture that isn’t even familiar with this particular religion!
You see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but you do not see the log that is in your own eye. When you take the log out of your own eye, then you will see clearly enough to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. (Thomas saying)
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.
If this were the real world, God would be cruel. For no Father could subject His children to this as the price of salvation and be loving.
Fear and love are the only emotions of which you are capable.
A tranquil mind is not a little gift.
Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.
If you have no investment in anything in this world, you can teach the poor where their treasures is. The poor are merely those who have invested wrongly, and they are poor indeed!

What is Love
Knowing that you and god and every other of God’s creations are inseparable is love.
Knowing that Earth is a sentient, conscious life herself and respecting all of her life forms is love.
Realizing that no one can know others at soul level and therefore does not judge them but rather does not condone an action seen as injurious, is love.
Listening to one’s godself is love.
Living the kind of life that engenders loving self is love.
Feeling joy yourself when you see it in others is love.
Doing something that brings joy to another is love.
Forgiveness of self and others is love.
Sharing your resources with a full heart is love.
Doing good deeds without attaching expectations is love.
Feeling peace of heart and mind is love.
The quiet thrill of seeing a sunset or hearing a songbird is love, and
A smile is one of the simplest and most radiating expressions of love.
Matthew
