“Freefalling is freedom; today I’ll let Something bigger than me inside guide me along.”

“How amazing the revelation that the world, and everyone in it, can get along just fine with or without me. What a relief. People, places and things will be perfectly okay without my control and direction! How wordlessly wonderful to come to believe that a power greater than me exists separate and apart from myself. I believe that the feeling of separation I experience between me and God will one day vanish. In the meantime, faith must serve as the pathway to the center of my life.”

“Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all my problems. I have since been brought into a way of living infinitely more satisfying and, I hope, more useful than the life I lived before. My old manner of life was by no means a bad one, but I would not exchange its best moments for the worst I have now. I would not go back to it even if I could.”

“The claim of the mystic is, at last, that you don’t need anything to bring you to God. You don’t need a mediator. You don’t need an institution. You don’t need a ceremony or a ritual. God is in me, and the ladder from the earth to sky is available. So, we can ascend our own altar stairs wherever we are. The key to understanding the experience, to the experience itself, is never in the hands of any other human being. When we love people, we find God inside. If we can become still enough, we will hear IT whisper to us. IT will take away much of our unhappiness, our misery, our pessimism about the nature of life, and the meaning of our own life. God did not give up on us; we don’t have to give up on Your Divine Love.”

Meditation for the Day My spiritual life depends on an inner consciousness of God. I must be led in all things by my consciousness of God and I must trust Him in all things. My consciousness of God will always bring peace to me. I will have no fear, because a good future lies before me as long as I keep my consciousness of God. If in every single happening, event, and plan I am conscious of God, then no matter what happens, I will be safe in God’s hands. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may always have this consciousness of God. I pray for a new and better life through this God consciousness.
