Droplets of Wisdom
(Author Unknown)
"The highest good is known by its opposite, and every experience can be used for ultimate good. Learn that the beauty of morning is known because of the darkness of night. Sorrow is ever making channels for joy." p.58.
"Rejoyce! Have no fear. Fear is the cloud that dims the spiritual vision. The angels came to say "Fear not." Fear would keep you from all that is good. It is nothing more than an emanation from the material sense, and can be dispelled in an instant by the perfect love. Man is rising out of the fear of evil, the fear of God, the fear of man. The truth will set you free from all that separates man from God." p.78
" 'Love seeketh not her own.' It should be nothing to you that others seem to manifest more of God. You and they may be at different stages of unfoldment. Be content to know that God is in the midst, and learn the secret of dwelling in friendly darkness, that your roots may go deep down; for during the time of hiddenness a great work is going on. The soul that seeks nourishment from the true Self becomes strong." p.83
"Every condition of mind always brings an outward manifestation even on the sense plane, and the separate self has power over its own environment. Thus, we will say, you think, you act, you become." p.127
"Around you are people in a condition of sickness, imperfetion, and want, some of them Christians, as regards the following of the personal Jesus, but they have not made the great discovery of the indwelling Lord. There is no state of ignorance too low for the renewal of life and health." p.128
"Thought is so potent, so swift; every thought of ours becomes an outward expression; although you may not see it, you cannot think without a result." p.181
"The process of creation is always present; it is not a past series of events." p.185
"Heaven is not a place to which you go, it is just where you are. You can enter heaven NOW. Good men and women from time to time have made this discovery, and henceforth 'All is well.' " p.48
"Man limits himself by his mental process, and hinders the uprising of the divine thought. (We see from our side.) Man gets a glimpse of a truth; he immediately begins to make it concise, gives it a form, clothes it by the mental process called reasoning; thus himself closing the avenue by separation from the whole. No truth is a part; there is but one truth. No man can hold all the truth. This is a work for all time." p.69
