"I may not like what I just heard - that I must turn to my own consciousness
as to the only reality, the only foundation on which all phenomenon can
be explained.

It was easier living when I could blame another.
It was much easier living when i could blame society for my ills,
or point the finger across the sea and blame another nation.
It was easier living when I could blame the weather for the way I feel.

But to tell me that I’m the cause of all that happens to me and I’m forever
molding my world in harmony with my inner nature -
that is more than man is willing to accept.

If this is true, to whom would i go?
If these are the words of eternal life, I must return to them even though they seem so difficult to digest.

When man fully understands this he knows that public opinion does not
matter for men only tell him who he is.

The behavior men constantly tell me who I have conceived myself to be
and that’s true in the world of imagination.

And to enter your mind you’ll see people are just doing what you’re telling them.

To find the cause don’t find blame in another, and when you find the cause
you’ll grant yourself more and more power within you and you’ll find yourself living in more and more of a stillness.

So truly become the savior within yourself
and redeem everyone, redeem yourself.
Because regardless, you’re the cause of
either your destruction, or your salvation."

“That what we can be, we must be”

“Who plays with a child plays with something
near and mysterious;
wanting once to play with My children,
I stood among them with awe and tenderness.
I was born of a womb
by an act of magic.
I lived under a spell, imprisoned in a body,
in the humbleness of a soul.
. . . Tomorrow I shall be a great tree in Asia,
or a tiger among tigers
preaching My law to the tiger’s woods.”

“The heavens declare the glory
Of Him, who made all things;
Each day repeats the story,
Each night its tribute brings.
To earth’s remotest border
His mighty pow’r is known;
In beauty grandeur order,
His handiwork is shown.”
