Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. And however undramatic the pursuit of peace, the pursuit must go on.Audio Archives
John F. Kennedy
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.Audio Archives

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.Audio Archives
In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.

Exude peace and goodness; because that is the nature of the image of God within you – your true nature.Audio Archives

Like waves eternally lapping at the shore, the Universe is eternally knocking at your door, with abundance and riches beyond imagine.Audio Archives

I have posted Tuesday’s Christmas Service in the Audio Archives
Remember that all is One… and what you do to your neighbor, your friend or your foe, is a reflection of what you think of your Creator.Audio Archives
Edgar Cayce
You have everything you need to reach within yourself and access a personal and very direct connection to God. Through that connection, you will grow in perpetual peace and unconditional love for everyone and everything. Through that connection, you will be guided by a power within you greater than you have ever imagined yourself to be. You will know every word to speak and every action to take. You will not know doubt or fear. You will not lack confidence. You will not lack anything. You will finally once and forever know beyond any doubt that you are a brilliant and beautiful creation of Spirit.Audio Archives
Unity’s message to the world of the 21st century.
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.Audio Archives

Think of Divine Abundance as a mighty refreshing rain; whatever receptacle you have at hand will receive it.Audio Archives
Paramahansa Yogananda
You are living and alive within an eternal experience, without beginning and without end. Resolve to live this day and every day as if it were the only day there is; because in fact it is.Audio Archives
Eric Butterworth
So long as we are immersed in body consciousness, we are like strangers in a foreign country. Our native land is omnipresence.Audio Archives
Paramahansa Yogananda
Contrary to what would seem like logical thinking, putting up your defenses actually inspires others to put up their offenses.Audio Archives
The Universe
When you know your own divinity, you know it is not for just a day but for always. As a child of God, you are richly endowed with an all sufficiency in all things. You know that God is your instant, constant and abundant supply.Audio Archives
Eric Butterworth
I am open to abundance and prospered in every way.Audio Archives
As I greet the sun and behold the blessings of an abundant universe, my heart thrills to God's provision. I begin this day filled with a spirit of thanksgiving. I am grateful for the many ways my life is enriched, for the loving relationships, supportive surroundings and creative outlets for expressing my own God-given gifts. As I use my gifts to touch the lives of others, I am even more blessed in return. Giving from the abundance that comes my way, I am assured that by sharing, I open to even greater prosperity and fulfillment. My appreciation for God's blessings grows with each passing day.

Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, carry your stillness within you. Then the chaotic movement around you will never overshadow your access to the reservoir of creativity, the field of pure potentiality.Audio Archives

Wherever you go, the love of God goes with you. It moves with your legs, reaches with your hands, speaks with your voice and sees with your eyes. Because of you, love goes forth into the world. Without you, it would be invisible.Audio Archives
Paul Ferinni
The people we are in relationship with are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors reflecting their beliefs. So relationship is one of the most powerful tools for growth… If we look honestly at our relationships we can see so much about how we have created them.Audio Archives
Shakti Gawain
I will greet this day with love in my heart.Audio Archives
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
Og Mandino Scrolls
You do not suffer because things are impermanent. You suffer because things are impermanent and you think they are permanent.Audio Archives
Thich Nhat Hanh
We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us, how we take it, what we do with it; and that is what really counts in the end.Audio Archives
Joseph Fort Newton
Every day should be a day of thanksgiving for the gifts of life: sunshine, water, and the luscious fruits and greens that are indirect gifts of the Great Giver. God makes us work so that we may deserve to receive His gifts. The all-Sufficient One does not need our thanks, however heartfelt, but when we are grateful to Him our attention is concentrated, for our highest benefit, upon the Great Source of all supply.Audio Archives
Paramahansa Yogananda
Many people want to be helpers, but they do not help themselves. They feed others, but they do not feed themselves. Is it any wonder that they burn out, become tired and disillusioned?Audio Archives
If you are not fed by what you do, how can you feed others? Your happiness is not secondary. It is of the primary importance. Abundance flows from your happiness. The gifts of God flow through your love and acceptance of yourself.
When you are honest, you see that the aspects of your life that prosper are the ones that bring you the most joy. They are areas to which you give your greatest energy and attention.
Paul Ferinni
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.Audio Archives
– – The Messiah’s Handbook
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.Audio Archives
– – Albert Einstein
It’s as if before you there are countless doorways, all leading to new and different hallways. So you wonder and think, calculate and stress over whether or not you’ll knock on the “right” one.Audio Archives
But what you can’t yet see, is that all of the hallways beyond all of the doorways eventually lead to the same great room, in the same great house, with the same great party.
So, may as well pick the one you want? Huh?

On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know …Audio Archives
…that winning an argument is never the goal of a true spiritual master. Winning someone’s heart is.
The setting aside of one’s integrity is not required to win someone’s heart, but the setting aside of one’s anger may be. It is possible to make a point without making an enemy. It is possible to be right without being righteous. Debating does not have to be debasing.
If there is someone with whom you are disagreeing this day, would it not be wonderful of you to disagree without being disagreeable?
Love, Your Friend…
Neale Donald Walsch
On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know …Audio Archives
…that you are loved on this day for all the wonder that you bring to your world with the gift of being you.
Hard to believe, isn’t it, that you are that special in the eyes of God? Yet your are — and not because of what you have done, but because of who you are. You are God’s own creation, an expression of Divinity in human form.
The fastest way to experience this is to be the vehicle through which others sees it in themselves. Each person is walking his or her path and doing his or her best. God knows this, and that is why God loves you all.
Love, Your Friend…
Neale Donald Walsch
Self-realization is the knowing in body, mind, and soul, that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence: that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.Audio Archives
Paramahansa Yogananda
Audio ArchivesSometimes life
is like reading a book. Days, weeks, even years just repeat themselves … until you turn the page.
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world.Audio Archives
The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same.
Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade.
But do not be disheartened.
The source they come from is eternal, growing, branching out, giving new life and new joy.
Why do you weep?
The source is within you and this whole world is springing up from it.
— Jelaluddin Rumi (1207 – 1273)
It is as sure that those who hold grievancesAudio Archives
will suffer guilt,
as it is certain that those who forgive
will find peace.
On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know …Audio Archives
…that love is the center and the core of everything, and that Self is the place where all love must begin.
Those who love others grandly are those who love themselves grandly. Those who have high toleration and acceptance of others are those who have a high toleration and acceptance of themselves.
You cannot show another a part of you that you cannot show yourself. Therefore, begin where all growth, where all evolution, where all love must begin: with the person in the mirror.
Will you not love yourself grandly today? For the world’s sake?
Love, Your Friend…
Neale Donald Walsch
Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.Audio Archives
Etty Hillesum
Peace and clarity are the attributes of an open mind. An open mind does not cherish opinions or harbor prejudices or interpretations.Audio Archives
An open mind is unfettered and free to respond to the challenges of the moment. It does not dwell on the past or fantasize about the future. It is present right here and now. As a result, it is open to all of the possibilities that might arise.

… that the future is brighter than ever. Not just humanity’s future, but your own, personally.
Things have shifted. The energy has been altered. You can feel it if you deeply tune in. This shift is not your imagination, nor is it merely on a national or global level. There is shift in you.
Feel it today, and use it to propel you to a wonderful tomorrow. In fact, do better than feel the energy. BE the energy. Be its Source. Then watch the conditions of your own life change.
Love, Your Friend…
Neale Donald Walsch
On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know …
… that when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is not beneficial to go out and build more tunnel.
It was John Quinton who observed that politicians do that. Maybe you’ve caught yourself doing it too. Just when things look like they&re getting better, you start seeing more things that “aren’t right,” or “could go wrong.”
The Universe is essentially a friendly place. So friendly, in fact, that it will give you exactly what you expect it to.
Isn’t that wonderful? Of course, it depends on what you expect…
Love, Your Friend…
Neale Donald Walsch
On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know …
… that change is the natural order of things and not something that you benefit from resisting.
We live in a time of enormous upheaval on a global scale, and more and more people are seeing huge changes in their personal lives as well. It is the nature of the world in which we live.
Move with grace in the face of these changes, for every change brings you an incredible opportunity for growth. Breathe, relax, and know with confidence that all things will work out for you.
Love, Your Friend…

On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know…
…that if you become ruffled with every comment that you consider a ‘slight’, you will never find peace.
Nor will you find it by always separating yourself from those who ruffle you. You can only end so many friendships before you find yourself very much alone.
You can keep making new friends, of course, but sooner or later they will ruffle you; and then what?
Perhaps the better course might be to let the ruffle go. People rarely mean it when the do that, and a touch of gentle tolerance and easy forgiveness every day is even better than an apple…
Love, Your Friend…

Seeing With Love
The world will never be good unless you are willing to see its goodness. What you experience depends on how you look at things. When you look with judgment, life is twisted and empty. When you look with an open heart and mind, life is poignant and meaningful. As soon as you look with love, you see a different world.

The Sevenfold Affirmation
I am a child of the living God.
I have within me the all-creating power of the Christ.
It radiates from me and blesses all whom I contact.
It is my life, my strength, my courage,
My power, my wisdom, my understanding,
My joy, my inspiration, and my abundant supply.
Unto this great power I entrust all my problems,
Knowing they will be solved in love and justice.
O Lord Christ! I have laid all my desires upon Thine
altar, and I rest in Thy graciousness.

Some people have trouble with all those shall’s and shall not’s in the Ten Commandments. Folks just aren’t used to talking in those terms. So, in middle Tennessee they translated the King James into Jackson County language. No joke, these are posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Gainesboro, TN.
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.

On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know…
…that all the changes occurring right now on this planet are leading to a better life for all.
The movement here is going to be back to basics, back to what matters, back to our true values in families, in relationships, in business and commerce, in politics, and in the world.
Do not worry, therefore. This is the Time which has been predicted. And only good will come of it.
You will not have to think but a second to know exactly why you received this message today.
