Love is patient and kind. It is not jealous nor conceited nor proud; love is not ill-mannered, it does not seek its own advantage and is not irritable.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. (Albert Einstein)

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play is your own will. (Jawaharlal Nehru)

Nowhere has the creator designed any gem other than women. For, this gem gives delight to men, when it is heard of, seen, touched or even remembered; for its sake are done meritorious deeds, and wealth amassed; and from that alone do men derive worldly pleasures and offspring. Such women are indeed the Goddesses of fortune living in mortal abodes. Hence they ought to be honoured always with respect and wealth. Vaharamida, a poet and astrologer from 2000 years ago

It is true that there is light in the end of every tunnel.
But there need not be any light in the end if you blindly believe that you are in the tunnel

"Listen to this astounding fact. Men and women fear losing

something they never had in the first place. Now you study

that comment until you see how true it is for yourself.

All right, let's find out. Men and women fear to lose

something they never had in the first place. Are they not

struggling for security? If you struggle for security, that

means you don't have it. The very fact you're struggling means

you are insecure and unsafe. You're struggling to find your

place under the sun with that other person maybe, or certainly

with financial security. You're trying to find a certain place,

even geographical location where you will feel on solid ground,

you have roots and you can just sit back and enjoy life. Now

I've given you enough examples in those two for you to find

your own, for you to realize that all people do all day long

is to try to find something different from the nervous state

that grips them."

Stand apart from circumstances, and do not permit them to influence the mind.  Zen in the Mystic Master Speaks, pg 147 by Vernon Howard.

It lies in our power to attune the mind to cheerfulness.  Auerbach in the Mystic Master Speaks, pg 145 by Vernon Howard.


Being grateful for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle on a thousand hills, the trees that bloom, for all that we witness from waking until sleeping, for the fact that the principle of life is at work for us even while we are sleeping is to me the highest form of gratitude... Joel Goldsmith, Invisible Supply, pg 13


"...we must open out a way for the imprisoned splendor within us to escape...The error of most religious teachings is in the belief that supply is something that comes to us...it is embodied within us and we must express it." Joel Goldsmith, Invisible Supply, pg 10


Our outer experience is the externalization of our state of consciousness. Joel Goldsmith, Invisible Supply, pg 27


There is no use in wishing for a better place to start. Start from where you happen to be, and advance from that point by whatever means are available to you.  Joel Goldsmith, Invisible Supply Pg 69


The words you use are important, for your mind is used to you giving it your impressions, your assessments.  You are the general and your mind is the foot soldier. if you say, "it's hard," the mind believes and creates circumstances "hard" to fit the opinion you have given it. If you say, "It's simple." It's bloody simple. Thats how it will be. You decide. Your words are important. If you constantly moan that life is a pain in the butt, you'll wake up one day with piles.  Stuart Wilde, The Secrets of Life.


The following quotes are from Vernon Howard (VH)



People say they want to know what is truly good for them.

It is good to realize that the only valuable rebellion is the

rebellion against our own false values."

Esoteric Encyclopedia of Eternal Knowledge, p. 211

When some unexpected event bothers you: "It makes a difference only if I think it does, and I don't think it does.  VH


Remember, your objective is to arrive at the point where you can see definite change in your inner self.  This requires strict self-honesty for the human mind is tricky.  VH


Dare to be without an attitude.  You need not work at thinking at trying to find the right attitude toward something that happens to you. VH


Don't dress up in the wrong mental clothing. Be totally flexible. Don't demand that your preconceived ideas be confirmed by the eventual reality of the situation. Simply let the situation be whatever it wants to be. Let life lead.  VH


Don't imagine anything at all because that will limit you.  VH


People living in the false self haven't the faintest idea how they harm themselves.  VH


The false self demands certain behavior from others. When others don't agree, it becomes disappointed, even enraged.  VH


Be exactly who and what you are without shame or guilt or apology. Hide nothing from yourself. Bravely look at all your pretenses and see them as pretenses. You need not tell others, but expose yourself to yourself. Self honesty, thought painful at the time, is like the sunshine melting the fog. As the fog clears you recognize your true Self.  VH


Have the trust neither to know or care about your future. Your task if to leave the past. Do that much and your future will unfold in a new way. VH 


Start to suspect there is an entirely new way to live your life.  VH

When you recover your true self you are no longer in conflict over what you want or what you should do. Your true self know what to do and what not to do.  VH

No longer seek mere relief from pain. Seek its absolute ending. It is yours for the seeking.  Vernon Howard

Deliberately slow down. Think and act and speak with voluntary leisure.

The power of self awareness enables us to reject negative emotions the moment they sneak in.  Vernon Howard

You loosen the pain of a negative feeling by refusing to identify with it: that is, by not seeing it as a permanent part of you but rather as a feeling that is merely passing through you.  Vernon Howard

You cannot control a state that you are identified with, that is, a state you do not observe in yourself. But there is a calm self within you that can actually stand aside and observe another self, the frantic one.  This is self awareness. This is what gives you command.  Vernon Howard

Practice knowing without thinking.

There are renegade parts of you that want you to waste your power, your life energy, your flow, your connection with Truth, dealing with them. Your misguided attention, your identifying with them, your accepting them and their punishing, tormenting presence gives them a life they wouldn't have without tricking you into giving them one. Come back to yourself, come back to Now.  Guy Finley

When it comes to any negative thought, the first word you have with it is the same as giving it the last word with you.  Guy Finley

Any conversation you have with yourself with discouraging thoughts guarantees you wind up with a good reason to feel discouraged. Guy Finley

The only obstacle between you and your desire is how you spend your time from now on.

Make it your moment to moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts and being carried along by them.  Guy Finley

Come awake as often as you can and bring yourself into the protective custody of the present moment.

Cease to cherish opinions.

He/She is permitting needless negativities to play on the screen of the mind

Life is a ceaseless series of inner choices about where you want to live.

Its like a young peach tree. It makes no deliberate effort to give peaches. For it knows it has nothing yet to give. It knows that its present task is to harmonize with natural laws of growth by taking in sunshine and air.  Then, in the right time, it effortlessly produces peaches for others to enjoy.  Vernon Howard

I bargained with life for a penny and life would pay no more 

however I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store

for life is a just employer, he gives you what you ask

but once you've set the wages you must pay the task

I worked for a menial's hire only to find one day

Whatever I'd asked of life, life would have willingly paid.

The following quotations are from the book The Ultimate Truth by Lester Levenson.

Love is a feeling of givingness with no thought of receiving any return for it.

Love is allowing the other person to have exactly what they want, even though you cannot give it to them.

Love is giving with no strings attached. Love is the natural inherent state of human beings.

Only by loving does love come to us. The more we love, the more love comes to us.

Love and giving are two words that are synonymous.

Love is an attitude, a feeling, and requires no action. Love is a freeing of the other one. Love is acceptance.

The more we develop love, the more we come in touch with the harmony of the universe, the more delightful our life becomes, the more beautiful, the more everything. It starts a cycle going in which you spin upward.

Love is taking people as they are.

Love is loving the other one because the other one is the way the other one is.

Love is only understood when you love.

Love is trust.

When you love fully, you understand the other one fully.

Love is a feelingness of peace.

Love is identification. It is being the other one by identifying with the other one.

Love is what all beings are seeking through their every act.

Love is the answer to all problems.

When there are problems, if you would love more, they would disappear. When the love is complete, the problem dissolves immediately.

Love and understanding are the same. Love is communing; it is communication.

Lending support, wanting for the other one what the other one wants, that is love.

The greatest help or giving one may give to another is to help the other to get the understanding of Truth. In this way, one gives the other the formula for happiness.

Love is a power. It is the cohesive force of the universe.

Love is attracting, integrating, and constructive and so affects anything that it is applied to.

Parliaments cannot right the world, but enough individuals feeling love can.

Almost all people mistake ego approval for love. Because it is not love, it is not satisfying. Consequently, one continuously needs and demands it. And, this produces only frustration.

Love is not sex.

Love is not an emotion.

People need each other and think it is love. There’s no hanging onto, fencing in of the other when one loves.

Human love does not want to share its love with others but rather, wants its own personal satisfaction.

Real love wants to share its love and the more it is shared, the more joyous it is.

There is no “longing for” in love, because longing for another is separation; love being oneness, it does not allow separation.

True love cannot be gotten through marriage. It must be there before marriage.

Love cannot be applied to one and not another. It’s impossible to love one and hate another. When we love one more than another, that one is doing something for us. That is human love. When one loves people because they are nice to them, that too is human love.

True love is unconditional. In true love, one loves even those who oppose him or her.

We should love everyone equally.

It’s impossible to get love. Only by loving can one feel love.

The more one looks for love, the more one doesn’t love.

One should strive to love, never to be loved. To be loved brings tem- porary happiness and ego inflation.

When one loves fully, one can have no concept of not being loved.

To love our enemy is the height of love.

When love is felt for the enemy, it makes the enemy impotent, pow- erless to hurt you. If the enemy persists in trying to hurt you, the enemy will only hurt themselves.

One does not increase their love. One merely gets rid of their hate.

In a state of high love, one has a feeling of harmlessness and grants the other one the other one’s beingness.

When you love fully, you feel you have everything.

Loving fully, one only sees love.

When one really loves, one can never be hurt.

Love has no personal angles.

Anytime one feels good, one is loving. Anytime one feels bad, one is not loving.

Love and egotism are opposites. Love is selflessness. Love is purity. Love eliminates fear.

Love eliminates anxiety. Love eliminates insecurity. Love eliminates loneliness. Love eliminates unhappiness.

Love attracts love.

Love is the means and the end. Love is its own reward. Love seeks its own likeness. Love flourishes in love.

Love is contagious.

Love cannot be intellectualized.

The sweetness of love cannot be described. It must be experienced.

Full love is constant and can never be not. When attained, one only feels it, sees only it, hears only it. and thinks only it.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful. It is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Following are quotations from The Way to Complete Freedom by Lester Levenson

The real love is the love we feel for others. It is determined by how much we give ourselves to others.

Full love is identifying with every other human being.

When we identify with everyone, we treat everyone as we would treat ourselves.

Love is the balm, the salve that soothes and heals everything and all.

When you love, you lift others to love.

The most you can give is your love. It is greater than giving materiality.

When you understand people, you see that they are doing right in their own eyes. When you understand, you allow, accept. If you understand, you love.

When we love, not only are we happy but also our whole life is in harmony.

Happiness is equal to one’s capacity to love.

If we love completely, we are perfectly happy.

There is always either love or lack of it.

When one is not loving, one is doing the opposite.

The highest love is when you become the other one. Identity is love in its highest form.

If you love your enemy, you have no more enemies.

The power and the effect of love is self obvious. Just try it!

If you look at it from your very own center, the words love, acceptance, identification, communication, truth, God, Self are all the same.

The original human state was all love.

Troubles are due to humans covering over their natural state of love.

Love and discover that selflessness turns out to be the greatest good for yourself.

Love is effortless and hate requires much effort.

Apply love and every problem resolves.

Human love needs the other one. Divine love is giving to the other one.

Love equals happiness. When we are not happy, we are not loving.

The concept of possessiveness is just the opposite of the meaning of love. Love frees, possessiveness enslaves.

Love is a feeling of oneness with, of identity with, the other one. When there’s full love you feel yourself as the other person. Then treating the other person is just like treating your very own self. You delight in the other one’s joy.

Love is a tremendous power.

One discovers that the power behind love, without question, is far more powerful than the hydrogen bomb.

One individual with nothing but love can stand up against the entire world because love is so powerful.

This love is nothing but the self. This love is God.

Love will give, not only all the power in the universe, it will give all the joy and all the knowledge.

The best way to increase our capacity to love is through under- standing ourselves.

I think everyone knows the wonderful experience of loving one person, so you can imagine what it’s like when you love seven billion people. It would be seven billion times more enjoyable.

Love is a constant attitude that evolves in us when we develop it.

We should try practicing the love first on our family. Grant everyone in the family their own Beingness. Then apply it to friends, then strangers, then everyone.

The more we practice love, the more we love. The more we love, the more we practice love. Love begets love.

The more we develop love, the more we come in touch with the harmony of the universe, the more delightful our life becomes, the more beautiful, the more everything. It starts a cycle going in which you spin upwards.

The only method of receiving love is to give love because what we give out must come back.

The easiest thing in the universe to do is to love everyone. That is, once we learn what love is, it’s the easiest thing to do. It takes tremendous effort not to love everyone and you see the effort being expended in everyday life. But when we love we’re at one with all. We’re at peace and everything falls into line perfectly.

In the higher spiritual love there is no self-deprivation. We don’t have to hurt ourselves when we love everyone and we don’t.

With love, there’s a feeling of mutuality. That which is mutual is correct. If you love, you hold to that law.

Love is smothered by wrong attitudes. Love is our basic nature and natural thing. That’s why it’s so easy. The opposite takes effort. We move away from our natural self, cover it, smother it with concepts the opposite of love and then, because we’re not loving, unloving comes back at us.

We feel the greatest when we love.

The real love wins the universe, not just one person, but everyone in the universe.

Behind the concepts of non-love, there is always the infinite love that we are. You can’t increase it. All you can do it peel away the concepts of non-love and hatred so that this tremendous loving Being that we are is not hidden any more.

Love is an absolutely necessary ingredient on the path. If we ever expect to get full realization, we must increase our love until it is complete.

When you really love you can never feel parting. There is no distance because they’re right there in your heart.

Only through growth do we really understand what love is. When you really love, you understand the other one fully.

Love is an attitude that is constant. Love doesn’t vary. Love cannot be chopped up.

All love, including human love, has its source in divine love.

Every human being is an extremely loving individual.

When you love, you think only the best for those you love.

The more you love, the more you understand.

There’s one word that will distinguish the right love from the wrong love and that is giving.

You could hug a tree the same way as a person when you are very high. Your love permeates everything.

Total self sacrifice is the most selfish thing we can do. When self sacrifice is total we think only of others and are automatically in the Self.

Love is the state of the Self. It is something you are. Consideration is a necessary part of love. Anything but full love is, to a degree, hate.

Can you see why you can’t be against anything? The ant is God, the enemy is God.

If you’re limiting any part, you’re holding God away. Love cannot be parceled. Love has to be for all.

The greatest of all progress is love.

Your capacity to love is determined by your understanding.

If you don’t trust someone, you don’t love them fully.

If we love this world, we accept the world the way it is. We don’t try to change it. We let it be. We grant the world its beingness. Trying to change others is injecting our own ego.

The more we love the less we have to think.

Being love is higher than loving. The devotees of God have no choice but to love, they are love.

Love is your Self. That is the highest love.

Love is an attitude that is constant. Love doesn’t vary. We love our family as much as we love strangers. To the degree we are capable of loving strangers, to that degree we’re capable of loving our family.

Love is togetherness.

Love is the Self. The Self doesn’t love. Love is the Self. (Only in duality can you love.)

It’s not loving, it’s being love that will get you to God.

Love. Each one glorifies one’s self by service rendered to others and must therefore, necessarily receive from others. Thus God flows back and forth and we delight in his exoticism. There is nothing so delectable as the spirit of givingness. It is intoxicating beyond any other experience capable to human beings.

Discover this:

Service is the secret to bathing in the ever-new joy of God. Service opens the doors to the greatest fields of beauty and charm wherein is enjoyed the nectars of the infinite variety of tastes, all blended into one drink, that of superlative love.



Whenever you're unhappy do not look for escape from it via distraction, doing something else, or seeking entertainment. This is the worst thing you can do. You will never be able to let go of or eliminate unhappiness. Either discover your mastership of the event or see the ego motivation behind the misery and there by undo that particular unhappiness. Almost everyone, when unhappy, looks for escape and calls the escape or relief from the misery, happiness. This allows the unhappiness pattern to continue in the future. It postpones the time indefinitely as to when one will have to eliminate the unhappiness. Escape is the worst palliative in the world, worse than drugs. Every escape is a complete waste of time and a further continuing and holding onto misery. The more you feel misery, the deeper it becomes ingrained. Therefore one should not escape from nor remain in misery, but should use one of
the above two methods to get out of it permanently.  Lester Levenson

Come into the garden of the most delicious and everlasting joy by an everlasting desire to love and serve. Let go of the emptiness of selfishness. Fill yourself to the full with selfless love.
Lester Levenson


Let me end with a quote: "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful. It is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Lester Levenson
