Love Expands

Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity and love are the dynamics of freedom. They are the foundations of authentic power.

A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself.

The human emotional system can be broken down into roughly two elements: fear and love. Love is of the soul. Fear is of the personality.

Changing the world begins with the very personal process of changing yourself, the only place you can begin is where you are, and the only time you can begin is always now.

The first step toward spiritual growth is to become aware of your emotions.

You cannot act in love and act in fear at the same time. You must choose between them.

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.

When you choose not to forgive, the experience that you do not forgive sticks with you.

It is impossible to have a prayer without power.

Reverence is an attitude of honoring Life. You do not have to be authentically powered to be gentle with Life or to love Life.

Without an awareness of our feelings we cannot experience compassion. How can we share the sufferings and the joys of others if we cannot experience our own?

Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is. The journey may take many lifetimes, but you will complete it. It is impossible not to complete it. It is not a question of if but of when. Every situation you create serves this purpose. Every experience you encounter serves this purpose.
