We are free to live our own lives
We are not creatures of fate. Set that down as a truth not to be denied. We are free to live our own lives.

Who or what is God?
Ask for help always and rest assured that Our Creator who is God is near.
Be still and know that God dwells in the hearts of all men, though in some He lies asleep. For the God in you will sleep until you awake Him.
Be still and know that God is God. In the stillness of perception, the petals begin to open and joy steals over the heart. The heart swells with the expanding joy, till every fibre of the cross is alive and tingling with the joy at the heart of the rose and the fragrance sweetens the world.
Be still and know that the world is the footstool of the spirit.
I am all for unity now.
I am trying to draw near God.
And what is God?
And where is God?
God is everywhere. God is.
What is He?
God is.
What do you mean?
God is. God is.
There is no being, nothing that is, except God.
Do you not also know that He is and that all that is, is He?
All that is, is God.
All that is, is God.
If God is all that is, who am I?
I am a part of God.
That must include me and all my fellow beings, human and animal – even the trees and the birds and the rivers must be a part of God, if God were all that is.
From this moment, my life will assume a new meaning for me. I will not see a human face without remembering this absolute truth – the human being I see is a part of God. When I stand beside a river and listen to the sound of its waters, I will say to myself, I am listening to the voice of God. When a fellow being is angry with me, I will ask myself; In what way have I offended God? When one speaks lovingly to me, I will say, God is loving me now. My life will become unbelievably beautiful.
O Lord that lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.
Shakespeare
So long as man believes himself to be only a worm of the dust, limited and bound by the physical, he will remain so. But he is only limited and bound because he chooses to remain so. When a man gets but a glimpse of what he really is now and especially of what he may yet become, that knowledge will give him the greatest possible inspiration.
Julian Johnson
Rest in the consciousness of eternity and work in the consciousness of eternity.
There was once a God so great that the cells of His body were minor gods.
What an adventure it is, this launching of one’s barque upon the sea of rebirth.
What do I mean by God? Look deep in your heart and see that I AM THAT I AM. In the childhood of the world, men believed in a Power beyond themselves. Now in the maturity of the world, men believe in a Power within and beyond themselves. That is God, I AM THAT I AM!
What do you fancy that you are in the world for?
When speaking of divine perfection, we signify that God is just and true and loving, the author of order, not disorder, of good, not evil. We signify that He is justice, that He is truth, that He is love, that He is order, that He is the very progress of which we were speaking and that wherever these qualities exist, whether in the human soul or in the order of nature, there God exists. We might still see Him everywhere, if we had not been mistakenly seeking for Him apart from us; instead of in us; away from the laws of nature, instead of in them. And we become united, not by mystical absorption but by partaking of that truth and justice and love which He himself is.
Therefore the belief in immortality depends finally upon the belief in God. If there exists a good and wise God, then there also exists a progress of mankind toward perfection and if there be no progress of men towards perfection, then there cannot be a good and wise God. We cannot suppose that God’s moral government, the beginnings of which we see in the world and in ourselves, will cease when we leave this life.
Plato
Who or what is God?
Let us be satisfied to say that there is a Supreme Creator and that He is the source of all that exists.
Julian Johnson
Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in Heaven, the same is my brother and sister and mother.

There is a beautiful being in every one of you
There is a beautiful being in every one of you – the bird that sings in the heart of an earthquake, the rose that nestles in the hot mouth of the cannon, the pearl that cannot be crushed by the landslide, the angel that illumines hell.

A man is a state of consciousness
A man is not, as you have so often said, of flesh and blood and bone and sinew but a man is a state of consciousness. It is because you recognise their state of consciousness as being themselves, that men and women reveal themselves to you.

Keep your heart from hate, your mind from worry. Love simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine
Keep your heart from hate, your mind from worry. Love simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.
Johan H. von Goethe
Jesus of Nazareth is a reality. As a spiritual body, Jesus who dwelt in Galilee, He exists in space and time
Jesus of Nazareth is a reality. As a spiritual body, Jesus who dwelt in Galilee, He exists in space and time; as the Christ, the paradigm of the spiritual man, He exists in the hearts of all men and women who awaken that idea in themselves. He is a light which is reflected in many pools.
I wrote the other day about Adepts and Masters. Jesus is a type of the greatest Master. He is revered in all the heavens
I wrote the other day about Adepts and Masters. Jesus is a type of the greatest Master. He is revered in all the heavens. He grasped the Law and dared to live it, to exemplify it. And when he said, The Father and I are one, He pointed the way by which other men may realise mastership in themselves.
I wish I could make you see that separation is death and that unity is life

In unity is strength; in disunity is disintegration

The idle hours are sometimes as valuable as those that are spent in labour
The idle hours are sometimes as valuable as those that are spent in labour. It is in so-called idle hours that we meditate, get acquainted with ourselves, build air castles, which are working plans for our edifice of the future.
The human ego is coming into its own. When it loses selfishness, it will find itself
The human ego is coming into its own. When it loses selfishness, it will find itself. That is not a paradox for its own sake but the statement of a psychological fact.
He who adjusts to environment adjusts even to unrest. Remember that

Remember that.

Go out and play with the squirrels or lie by the fire and dream with the household cat
Go out and play with the squirrels or lie by the fire and dream with the household cat. The cat that enjoys the drowsy fireside also enjoys catching mice when the mood is on her. She cannot be always hunting; neither can you.
Do not neglect rest – you who still live the toilsome life in the sunshine. For every added hour of true rest your working capacity is increased
Do not neglect rest – you who still live the toilsome life in the sunshine. For every added hour of true rest your working capacity is increased. Have no fear. You are not wasting time when you lie down and dream. As I have said before, eternity is long. There is room for rest in the wayside inns which dot the path which the cycles tread.
