A life without Love is a life without God.

You must have time to think of God and of His Manifestation as Love, otherwise, you will crowd God out of your life, and a life without Love is a life without God.

Poem of the Soul (The Flight of the Soul) | Louis Janmot (1814–1892) | Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon

It is karma we each have to fulfil.

It is karma we each have to fulfil.

There is only one truth for the soul, and that truth is union with the Light whence it originated.

We incarnate in matter to experience it, and then we return to the Source or Cosmic Oversoul. That is all. 

But to return to the Source, one must be purified from contact with matter. If you can accomplish this after one existence, that is perfect bliss, but it is rare. Most of the time, the soul must incarnate several times before it is completely free of corruption. To experience matter fully, it must be divided into two halves, male and female. That is its true essence. To return to the Source, both halves must be purified and united beforehand.

—Joab

Sorrow and self-sacrifice are important lessons.

Each soul passes through several lives to experience matter, to learn new lessons, but because matter is dense and corruptive, purification is necessary in the measure in which the soul corrupts itself. Souls interact and often act as each other’s athanors to effect purification. Some spirits advance more rapidly than others in their path of experiential search, but eventually, they all return to the Light whence they originated. When a soul falls into the trap of identifying with the material world completely, breaking one or more of the Cosmic Laws in the process, it must be purified through sorrow and self-sacrifice in the course of many existences. That is why sorrow and self-sacrifice are such important lessons. As long as you reject them, you reject purification—you impede your soul’s advancement on your evolutionary path. How long it will take depends entirely on you.

Think carefully before acting.

Think carefully before acting, and the submerged teachings within your soul will resurface to illuminate your decisions. But if you act rashly all your life, seldom weighing the consequences of your actions, you forget your lessons.

COUNSELS FOR LIFE

A Strong America

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.

A lifetime of training for just ten seconds. One chance is all you need. I always loved running—it was something you could do by yourself and under your own power.

I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.

The only bond worth anything between human beings is their humanness.

For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world.
