Let your mind dwell on these things...

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Philippians 4:8

"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin

When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the Warriors of the Rainbow.

 Old Native American Prophecy

I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Christ, Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do because He Who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.

From chapter four of A Course In Miracles

Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name, you are mine.

Isaiah 43:1

Jabez called on the God of Israel. 'If you truly bless me,' he said, 'you will extend my lands, your hand will be with me, you will keep harm away and my distress will cease.' God granted him what he had asked.

I Chronicles 4:10 - The New Jerusalem Bible

Our Deepest Fear...

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 and 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
from A Return to Love, Chapter 7, Section 3

 

This quotation is frequently attributed to Mr. Nelson Mandela. I have researched this thoroughly. Mr. Mandela's inaugural speech does not contain this text. Ms. Williamson's book was published in 1992.

"Create your own ecstasy by being very simply in love with a very simple God..."

Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
(from Darshan, June 1995)

A change of mind is emerging from the collective unconscious. No economic, political, or military power can compare with the power of a change of mind. By deliberately changing our images of reality, we are changing the world.

~ Willis Harman

"Wisdom tells me I am nothing;

love tells me I am everything.

Between the two, my life flows."

- a great Indian master

You may write me down in history with your bitter twisted lies.

You may trod me in the very dirt,

 but still, like dust,

 I'll rise


-Maya Angelou

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
-- Bill Cosby
