I dreamed that life was joy. I woke to find that life is service. I discovered that service is joy.
Fear or Love -- Matthew
"Fear, which often is an obsession with a “what if,” is fruitless at the least, and can lead to darkness at the worst."
"Getting past fear is the same process as overcoming any other emotion or characteristic you wish to be free of—change your thoughts. When the object or situation you fear comes to mind, shake it off with a thought about the opposite—perhaps a successful outcome of an endeavor or a safe return home or sufficiency to pay bills or recovery from an illness, or anything of a pleasant nature that is sure to lighten your mind and heart. While it is true that what you fear may be something that your soul chose as one of this lifetime’s experiences, the sensation of fear about it will not help you—it will preclude your managing the circumstances to the optimum extent possible. Like anything else that must be mastered through practice, changing a thought from negative to positive also requires practice. You can do this for yourself, but for another, you can only give the suggestion."
"We emphasize yet again the vital importance of remaining steadfast in the light, and add that patience will be your ally during the progress that isn’t apparent to you."
"You know that you are a part of God, that your soul is eternal and there is no separation of you from God or any other soul in the universe. You know that love is the most powerful energy in the universe. You are steadfast in your vision of a world at peace, where all souls are living in harmony. You willingly and generously share your resources. You feel compassion for the suffering and the fearful, but do not go into despair or fear yourself. You offer, but do not impose upon any others, your own beliefs. You listen to the voice of your soul by heeding your conscience and trusting your intuition. You respect all life forms as God’s creations. You see the beauty of Nature and, in sad moments, allow that beauty to lift your spirits. You live from your heart, where your soul expresses, more so than in mental calculating."
