“I am not a victim of the world I see” ~ A Course In Miracles

"The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.
Death is a natural part of life.
Rejoice for those who transform into the force.
Miss them do not, mourn them do not.
Attachment leads to jealousy.
The shadow of greed that is." - Master Yoda
"Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to suffering." - Master Yoda
Specialization is in fact only a fancy form of slavery wherein the 'expert' is fooled into accepting his slavery by making him feel that in return he is in a socially and culturally preferred, ergo, highly secure, lifelong position. But only the king's son receives kingdom-wide scope of training.
-- R. Buckminster Fuller, "Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth"
As you love, you attract.
You are today where your thoughts have brought you;
you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
You cannot escape the result of your thoughts;
but you can endure and learn, accept and be glad.
You will realize the vision of your heart, not the idle wish.
You will gravitate toward that which you secretly most love.
In to your hands will be placed the exact result you earn;
no more, no less.
Whatever your present environment may be,
you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts...
your vision... your ideal.

Our Greatest Fear
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us;
it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson
