“If you strive only to avoid the darkness or to cling to the light, you cannot live in balance. Try striving to be conscious of all that you are.”

Love is not a passive state. It is an active force. It is the force of the soul.

Within each experience of pain or negativity is the opportunity to challenge the perception that lies behind it and to choose to learn with wisdom.

When you welcome your emotions as teachers, every emotion brings good news, even the ones that are painful.

We need truth to grow in the same way that we need vitamins, affection and love.

An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love.

Your life is an opportunity to give the gifts that your soul wants to give.

You lose power to the people and circumstances you judge. They capture your attention in the same way that a movie does.

If you choose to forgive someone who has wronged you rather than to hate that person, you shift the frequency of your Light.

The opposite of love is not hate. It is fear.

Each moment is a moment of choice ~ a time to leave the old, the limited, the restrained, and the contracted for the new, the unbound, and the liberating potential that expands before you.

If there is anything good about nobility it is that it enforces the necessity of avoiding degeneracy.

Avoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.

As far as you can avoid it, do not give grief to anyone. Never inflict your rage on another. If you hope for eternal rest, feel the pain yourself; but don’t hurt others.

Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.

I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.

The problem in this world is to avoid concentration of power – we must have a dispersion of power.

Magnetic lines of force convey a far better and purer idea than the phrase magnetic current or magnetic flood: it avoids the assumption of a current or of two currents and also of fluids or a fluid, yet conveys a full and useful pictorial idea to the mind.

It hurts my head, but it’s fine because it’s something I do every day. You can’t avoid the gymnastics questions.
