If you walk into a dark, black hole with love and joy, you will find love and joy there. If you walk in with fear and anger, you will find fear and anger. Go into all the situations in your life with what you want to find there.

The nature of the Soul, of who we truly are, is happiness and joy. So consider this truth - happiness is your true nature.

Silently saying "God bless you" can certainly change people, but if you really want to watch them change in a hurry, silently say, "I love you." They become absolutely elated! The negativity goes, and the positive energy sweeps in.

The ego and the personality are restricted consciousnesses, and they cannot go into God, although God can come into them. When we begin to give up those restricted consciousnesses and their demands and desires, we may feel pain and suffering on those levels, but it is only because we are still holding on to the restriction and not moving into the freedom of Spirit.

When people move into a negative perception of their experiences they burden themselves with a heavy, gross consciousness that is anchored to this physical level.

This life is actually very easy: do and complete, do and complete, do and complete, do and complete - no karma. Say you are going to do and then not do - karma. Start to do and then not finish - more karma. Feel bad about all that - more karma. And when something happens that really disturbs you, get up instantly and release it.

It is important to learn to accept and work with whatever is going on in your life, without placing out too much in the way of judgments or self-recriminations. When you accept, it is easy because accepting is not resisting; it is letting things pass through and saying, "Thank you, Lord, for another wonderful day." When you can do this, it becomes so much easier to break free from the karma.

One of the things that most of us do spiritual exercises for is a greater sense of emotional, mental, and physical balance out here in the world, so that we can look at our spouse or boss or children or neighbors and say, "Hello, how are you?" and have a sense of caring in that question.

The process of self-awareness takes great courage, and it starts with accepting and loving yourself unconditionally.

Listen for the Sound of God in everything you encounter.

If you think the Traveler told you something inwardly, before doing it, look at it to make sure it's for the highest good physically and spiritually. Lean into it, and use your intelligence to evaluate the pros and cons.

An important key to communication is that energy follows the thoughts you hold. Wherever you communicate and direct this spiritualized energy in the material world, things are manifested.

Live your life the best that you can. It can be hard, even on good days, but still do it, work the best you can, and give yourself credit.

Are you happy? Did you know we all have a need for happiness? It's one of the ten blessings John-Roger named - Loving, Caring, Sharing, Prosperity, Abundance, Riches, Health, Wealth, Happiness and Touching.

It's difficult when you attempt to separate yourself from the spiritual. Then you experience confusion, upset, and turmoil. When you experience these difficulties, it is God indicating through Spirit that you have stepped from the reality of your true self. When you come back into the oneness of Spirit, you find out that the blessings already are.

We do not have to suffer to get to God, yet our suffering can serve a purpose because it can make us so uncomfortable that we may say, "There must be something different," and we may turn to God.

Once that Light in you is accessed and the Light in others is available, the formula for success includes showing it, using it, and sharing it.

The most effective meditation I have ever seen is worrying. Unfortunately, it goes the wrong way, and I have not seen too many changes made because of worrying. But I know that holding a positive focus on what you want and taking continual small steps towards it is the way to bring it about.

However you receive Spirit, in that moment you're going to have a form of transcendental experience.

Let's face it. We need the Light. The world needs the Light and we each can be more conscious with bringing forward the Light as a consciousness with God in which all things are possible and are serving the highest good of all concerned.
