I have come to believe, with Gandhi, that through our own personal conversion, our own inner peace, we are sensitized to care for God, for ourselves, for each other, for the poor, and for the earth, and then we can become true servants of peace in our world. Herein lies the power of nonviolence.     …Agnes DeMille

If you merely collect spiritual information without practicing it, all you will develop is a case of spiritual indigestion. There is no substitute for practice. Trust, then practice. Even if at first you don't feel trust, practice anyway and the results will reveal that the universe is trustworthy. Let us ask ourselves, "How can I move from theory into practice?"   …Michael Bernard Beckwith

The grand dream of the soul is to realize its inherently enlightened state.  The dream of the heart is to realize its most expansive expression of unconditional love.  The dream of the mind is to go beyond the intellect of intelligence and creativity.  Ask yourself “What is My Dream.”

The greater the light, the darker the shadows.  Even those of us who welcome the light carry

pockets of darkness within us – old attitudes, habits, fears, addictions, judgments that once worked in the shadows, perhaps, but are inappropriate in the light of new possibility.  We can be grateful to the shadows within us because they help us to resist the temptation to judge those still choosing to stay in the dark.              ...Rev.

When you are writing a novel you have absolute power but with a screenplay you are working with a collaborative medium and are maybe the eighth most powerful collaborator. I knew that coming in because you would have to be a fool not to know that . …

Stay with the One and never deviate from It; never leave It for a moment. Nothing else can equal this attitude. To desert the Truth in the hour of need is to prove that we do not know the Truth. When things look the worst is the supreme moment to demonstrate to yourself that there are no obstructions. When things look worst is the best time to work, the most satisfying time. The person who can throw himself, with a complete abandon, into that Limitless Sea of Receptivity, having cut loose from all apparent moorings, is the one who will always receive the greatest reward.    …Ernest Holmes

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.    …Albert Einstein

When you are living in the present, you know what's important for you, and you act on that knowing. You are able to see the big picture and the smallest detail all at the same time. Your sense of timing and your instincts become sharp. Time itself slows down and you adapt fluidly to the reality of the present moment. You become an extraordinary and powerful human being.     … John Kuypers
