“I wanted to know if we could live in that state of love, not just every so often, but as an ongoing reality. The answer is YES. There are people who are doing just that, and I wanted to share with the world how they’re consistently living in a state of love.”

The second doorway has to do with vitality. It’s about feeling alive, vital, and feeling the life-force flow through us. This doorway is also known as the creativity center and it houses a great sense of aliveness in it.

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.

I’ve come to see that I have two choices in how I approach change: I can either resist change or be open to what’s ahead and feel the peace that “all is well in the universe.” When I lean into the latter, I feel excited about the future.

Go for the sense of inner joy, of inner peace, of inner vision first and then all the other things from the outside appear.

Once you begin to understand and truly master your thoughts and feelings, that’s when you see how you create your own reality.

Love is your job description – no matter what you do for a living. If you ever feel unsure of what you’re supposed to do in a situation, here’s a good rule of thumb: always do what leads to greater love.

So if you have over-indulged during the holidays, for example, please don’t beat yourself up, but rather have compassion and forgiveness and perhaps, even try the Ho’oponono technique.

The first doorway (or chakra) is what I call in the book, the Doorway of Safety. This doorway relates to feeling safe in life and being present in the here and now. It’s only when we are really grounded and safe that we’re able to relax and open up our hearts.

We’re all here to live a fabulous life… a life of love, truth, and joy.We have the power to wake up to that. We have the power to say “I’m not just here to survive, I’m here to live the greatest life that can be lived”.

When you’re happy for no reason, you’re unconditionally happy. It’s not that your life always looks perfect – it’s just that however it looks, you’ll still be happy.

When you forgive, you heal your own anger and hurt and are able to let love lead again. It’s like spring cleaning for your heart.

So, in life we have a one question final exam – and it’s not the kind of exam you can cram for at the very end. One of the main reasons we’re alive is to expand our capacity to love.

Easy to read, yet filled with wisdom that will penetrate your heart, this book puts the power back in your hands. It’s a must have.

But I couldn’t. Was nowhere near ready for a committed relationship, and it wouldn’t be fair. I needed time – to become the right man for a woman like you.

The sixth doorway is the Doorway of Vision. This relates to seeing with the eyes of love and corresponds to the energy center located in the third eye area of our forehead. When this doorway is open, we’re more able to see life through love instead of differences.

It is support that sustains us on the journey we’ve started.

Faith … that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.

Nora: i have questions. Patch: i should have known you’ve only been keeping me around for answers. Nora: well, that and your kisses. Anyone ever tell you you’re an incredible kisser?

I don’t know what I’m going to be doing in two years or even in two weeks. I have to live for today.

We have known an emotion which is in every case the same in kind, if not in degree; an emotion precious and uplifting.

What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.

Christmas in the Underworld was NOT my idea. If I’d known what was coming, I would’ve called in sick. I could’ve avoided an army of demons, a fight with a Titan, and a trick that almost got my friends and me cast into eternal darkness. But no, I had to take my stupid English exam.

I didn’t want to be known as Madonna’s playboy, her boy toy.
