“I believe that God is a power within – not a power that is only met upon death. If that’s true, it simplifies things, don’t you think? No more dialogues about whose God is valid and whose God is not since every soul is equally valid. No more wars in the name of God since God is you, me, and everyone. No more posturing that God told me to do this and God told me to say that since God isn’t separate from the speaker. No more worries about taking the name of God in vain since you might as well be cursing yourself. No more religions claiming that they have the one true path, since every path that offers a person love is the path of true redemption. No more guilt for breaking God’s rules since the rules we have are the ones we’ve given ourselves.”

“There is an old saying (the origins of which I am ignorant), “Fear knocked at the door, and faith answered, and no one was there.” Fear stems from doubts we have about our divinity. The antidote to fear is faith.

I know within that I am not alone, ever. I know that I have divine guidance available to me at all times. This inner knowing makes fear impossible. You too are not alone, and you also have omnipresent guidance accessible at will.

When you truly know that the loving presence is always with you, the possibility of living with both doubt and fear evaporates. It has to have the quality of being a knowing. Then the notion of fear vanishes.”

Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, in “Your Sacred Self”

“The law of gravity tells us that objects of mass exert attractive forces over each other. As a baseball falls to earth, the planet rises ever so slightly to meet it. In a similar way, anything that you possess exerts ownership over you. The house, automobile or business you call your own requires you to serve it. Knowing how things that you own have the tendency to own you, choose your material possessions consciously.

Make the commitment to keep abundance flowing regularly by clearing unnecessary clutter from your personal space. Clean your car, especially the trunk and glove box. Go through your closets, drawers attic, basement and garage, gathering up anything that you have not used for a while and are unlikely to use in the foreseeable future. Donate things that are not serving you to a local charity where they may add value to another’s life. Give your extra stuff away to open the channels of circulation for abundance to flow.”

David Simon, in “The Ten Commitments”

“Forgiveness of Self is imperative. We usually have a difficult time forgiving ourselves because of feeling unworthy, imperfect, not enough, or not good enough (there is a difference). Consider forgiving your Self first for not being perfect, worthy, enough or good enough. Then forgive your Self for any shame and guilt you might feel for something you did or didn’t do; for the things you feel you’ve done wrong or are holding against your Self. (These feelings about our Self are some of humankind’s greatest blocks.) If you are unable to forgive your Self, it’s impossible to genuinely forgive another.”

“Don’t measure your success, wealth, life by what you are currently experiencing physically around you. Measure it by what is going on within you! Your inner world is always ahead of your outer world. Manifestation is a process, it can be fast or slow, yet it always IS…meaning it is always happening. Energy is always moving, creation is always happening, and just because you do not see it with your physical eyes does not mean it is not there!…Trust yourself. You know the answers, you have the help and you are supported by all.

There is well-being within and without. It is cheering you on, ready and waiting to create what it is you show you want. Don’t be fooled that just because the money you desire is not in your bank account at this very moment, it is not ready for you. Because it is, at this very moment, in existence, clearing a path for you to claim it. Your faith and trust that these systems work all the time, without fail and want the best for you is the power to your magnetic vibration.”

Nan Akasha, in “Already Rich”
