Be glad of it."

As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life."

"People don't realize that now is all there ever is there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind."

"In normal everyday usage, "I" embodies the primordial error, a misperception of who you are, an illusory sense of identity. This is the ego. The illusory sense of self is what Albert Einstein, who had deep insights not only into the reality of space an time, but also into human nature, referred to as "an optical illusion of consciousness."

"Ego-generated emotions are derived from the mind's identification with external factors which are, of course, all unstable and liable to change at any moment."
