When
we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up
defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So
the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future
become one. We cannot love when we feel fear.... When we release
the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total
love and oneness with all.

The world we see that seems
so insane is the result of
a belief system that is not working. To perceive the
world differently, we must be willing to change our
belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense
of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.

It's not the
situation that's causing your stress, it's your thoughts,
and you can change that right here and now. You can choose
to
be peaceful right here and now. Peace is a choice, and it
has nothing
to do with what other people do or think.

When
we're helping other people, we're nourishing our soul. Depression
or
unhappiness means we've got the wrong goal. We have forgotten that
peace
of mind is our only goal. By concentrating on helping another
person, we
renew contact with our soul and with God. We can feel peaceful
again. . . .
Peace of mind has nothing to do with the external world; it has
only to do
with our connection with God. Love really is the answer. We're
here only
to teach love. When we're doing that, our souls are singing and
dancing.
When we remind
ourselves that we are spiritual beings, that life and love
are the flame
eternal, that's when our soul is nourished.
