Peace stands at the door of your consciousness and awaits your acceptance of It. However, It does not stand outside your door, waiting for entrance, so much as It stands inside waiting to be expressed in everything you do.

  "When your heart if filled with gratitude, it is grateful for everything and cannot focus on  what is missing. When your attention is on your scarcity, you are telling the universal  spirit that you need more and are not grateful for all that you have. The nature of  gratitude is supportive of our fullness and abundance, and acknowledges that we are the  recipients of the generosity of others, of life and of the universal spirit." 

Wayne W. Dyer

Manifest Your Destiny

 "In truth, spiritual community is necessary for us to be able to fulfill our purpose here on  Earth. We need one another to enhance God’s experience of loving Itself. It’s true that we  can and should create this experience alone, in a secluded environment, but ultimately, I  believe there can be no greater place for this to happen than in spiritual community." 

Dennis Merritt Jones 

The Art of Being

 "Do not be afraid to pour your love upon all the so-called evil in the world. Deny the  appearance of evil, and affirm the omnipotence and the omnipresence of love and  goodness. Take no account of the evil that appears in your life and your affairs. Refuse to  see it as evil. Declare that what seems evil has somewhere a good side, which shall  through your persistent affirmation of its presence be made visible. By using this creative  power of your own thought you will change that which seemed evil into good, and divine  love will pour its healing balm over all."

Charles Fillmore 

Talks on Truth

  "There is no individual good. Good belongs to everyone. Good fulfills itself only as it multiplies itself; therefore, there is no good that belongs to you and to me alone, no final peace to us only as individuals. The watchword is not exclusion but inclusion, and the more good we release, the more good we experience."

Rev. Dr. Ernest S. Holmes

365 Science of Mind

 "We should give of ourselves in love and in service to others, in a spirit of generosity and good-fellowship. To refuse to give is to refuse to receive, for everything moves in circles. Real giving is the givingness of the self. A kind word, a thoughtful act, perhaps just a smile, can help lighten the burdens of others."

Rev. Dr. Ernest S. Holmes

Ideas for Living

 "The word 'integrity' means wholeness, oneness, completeness, so, by my definition, I am living with integrity when the outside of my life matches that which I profess to believe. For example, if I profess to believe that God is love, and that I am one with God, and therefore I am love, then how can I wave an interesting gesture at someone who cuts me off in traffic? That would not be a gesture of love.

The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are. Choosing authenticity means cultivating the courage to be imperfect, to set boundaries, and to allow ourselves to be vulnerable; exercising the compassion that comes from knowing that we are all made of strength and struggle; and nurturing the connection and sense of belonging that can only happen when we believe that we are enough. Authenticity demands Wholehearted living and loving—even when it’s hard, even when we’re wrestling with the shame and fear of not being good enough, and especially when the joy is so intense that we’re afraid to let ourselves feel it. Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy, and gratitude into our lives.”
