Life Is A Series Of Tests; But If You Pass Your Tests, You Look Back Upon Them As Good Experiences.

Take Out The Kernel Of Spiritual Truth With Any Faith, And What Is Left Is Dogma.

The Fear Habit Is Very Detrimental Because You Attract The Things You Fear. If We Have Any Fear We Need To Get Rid Of It.

If You Know But Do Not Do, You Are A Very Unhappy Person Indeed.

For Light I Go Directly To The Source Of Light, Not To Any Of The Reflections.

If You Don't Have Enough You Won't Be Happy. Neither Are You Happy If You Have Too Much. It Is Those Who Have Enough But Not Too Much Who Are The Happiest.

Let Us Help The Phoenix To Rise From The Ashes; Let Us Help Lay The Foundation For A New Renaissance; Let Us Help To Accelerate The Spiritual Awakening Until It Lifts Us Into The Golden Age Which Would Come.

Do You Know God? Do You Know There Is A Power Greater Than Ourselves Which Manifests Itself Within Us As Well As Everywhere Else In The Universe? This I Call God. Do You Know What It Is To Know God, To Have God's Constant Guidance, A Constant Awareness Of God's Presence? To Know God Is To Reflect Love Toward All People And All Creations. To Know God Is To Feel Peace Within - A Calmness, A Serenity, An Unshakeableness Which Enables You To Face Any Situation. To Know God Is To Be So Filled With Joy That It Bubbles Over And Goes Forth To Bless The World.

The Valid Research For The Future Is On The Inner Side, On The Spiritual Side.

If You Realized How Powerful Your Thoughts Are, You Would Never Think A Negative Thought.

Although Others May Feel Sorry For You, Never Feel Sorry For Yourself: It Has A Deadly Effect On Spiritual Well-being. Recognize All Problems, No Matter How Difficult, As Opportunities For Spiritual Growth, And Make The Most Of These Opportunities.

You Must Give If You Want To Receive. Let The Center Of Your Being Be One Of Giving, Giving, Giving. You Can't Give Too Much, And You Will Discover You Cannot Give Without Receiving.

We Limit Ourselves By Thinking Things Can't Be Done. Many Think Peace In The World Is Impossible - Many Think That Inner Peace Cannot Be Attained. It Is The One Who Doesn't Know It Can't Be Done Who Does It!

Were I To Solve Problems For Others They Would Remain Stagnant; They Would Never Grow. It Would Be A Great Injustice To Them. My Approach Is To Help With Cause Rather Than Effect. When I Help Others, It Is By Instilling Within Them The Inspiration To Work Out Problems By Themselves. If You Feed A Man A Meal, You Only Feed Him For A Day-but If You Teach A Man To Grow Food, You Feed Him For A Lifetime.

We Spend A Great Deal Of Time Telling God What We Think Should Be Done, And Not Enough Time Waiting In The Stillness For God To Tell Us What To Do.

Meditation Practice

If You Are Harboring The Slightest Bitterness Toward Anyone, Or Any Unkind Thoughts Of Any Sort Whatever, You Must Get Rid Of Them Quickly. They Are Not Hurting Anyone But You. It Isn't Enough Just To Do Right Things And Say Right Things - You Must Also Think Right Things Before Your Life Can Come Into Harmony.

For Those Of You Who Are Seeing The Spiritual Life, I Recommend These Four Daily Practices: Spend Time Alone Each Day In Receptive Silence. When Angry, Or Afflicted With Any Negative Emotion, Take Time To Be Alone With God. (do Not Talk With People Who Are Angry; They Are Irrational And Cannot Be Reasoned With. If You Or They Are Angry, It Is Best To Leave And Pray.) Visualize God's Light Each Day And Send It To Someone Who Needs Help. Exercise The Body, It Is The Temple Of The Soul.

You're In A Much Better Position To Talk With People When They Approach You Than When You Approach Them.

When You Have Constant Communion With God, A Constant Receiving From Within, There Is Never Any Doubt; You Know Your Way. You Become An Instrument Through Which The Job Is Done, Therefore You Have No Feeling Of Self-achievement

The Price Of Peace Is To Abandon Greed And Replace It With Giving, So That None Will Be Spiritually Injured By Having More Than They Need While Others In The World Still Have Less Than They Need.

The Darkness That We See In Our World Today Is Due To The Disintegration Of Things Out Of Harmony With God's Laws. The Basic Conflict Is Not Between Nations, It Is Between Two Opposing Beliefs. The First Is That Evil Can Be Overcome By More Evil, That The End Justifies The Means. This Belief Is Very Prevalent In Our World Today. It Is The War Way. It Is The Official Position Of Every Major Nation.

Are You A Slave To Your Self-centered Nature Or Does Your Divine Nature Guide Your Life? Do You Kow That Every Moment Of Your Life You're Creating Through Thought? You Create Your Own Inner Condition; You're Helping Create The Conditions Around You.

When I Began My Pilgrimage I Left The Los Angeles Area Without A Cent, Having Faith That God Would Provide Me With Everything I Needed. Although I Have Never Asked For Anything, God Has Provided Me With Everything Along The Way. Without Ever Asking For Anything I've Been Supplied.

I Am A Deeply Religious Person, But I Belong To No Denomination. I Follow The Spirit Of God's Law, Not The Letter Of The Law. One Can Become So Attached To The Outward Symbols And Structure Of Religion That One Forgets Its Original Intent - To Bring One Closer To God. We Can Only Gain Access To The Kingdom Of God By Realizing It Dwells Within Us As Well As In All Humanity. Know That We Are All Cells In The Ocean Of Infinity, Each Contributing To The Others' Welfare.

I Would Like To Emphasize Again That Right Prayer Leads To Right Action, That Faith Without Works Is Dead. An Excellent Way To Put Thoughts Into Action Is To Write A Letter For Peace.

I Don't Eat Junk Foods And I Don't Think Junk Thoughts! Let Me Tell You, Junk Thoughts Can Destroy You Even More Quickly Than Junk Food. Junk Thoughts Are Something To Be Wary Of.

It Concerns Me When I See A Small Child Watching The Hero Shoot The Villain On Television. It Is Teaching The Small Child To Believe That Shooting People Is Heroic. The Hero Just Did It And It Was Effective. It Was Acceptable And The Hero Was Well Thought Of Afterward. If Enough Of Us Find Inner Peace To Affect The Institution Of Television, The Little Child Will See The Hero Transform The Villain And Bring Him To A Good Life. He'll See The Hero Do Something Significant To Serve Fellow Human Beings. So Little Children Will Get The Idea That If You Want To Be A Hero You Must Help People.

All Of Us Can Work For Peace. We Can Work Right Where We Are, Right Within Ourselves, Because The More Peace We Have Within Our Own Lives, The More We Can Reflect Into The Outer Situation.

My Mission Is To Help Promote Peace By Helping Others To Find Inner Peace. If I Can Find It, You Can Too. Peace Is An Idea Whose Time Has Come.

We Tend To Attract The Things We Fear.

Remember That No One Can Hurt You Except Yourself. If Someone Does A Mean Thing To You, That Person Is Hurt. You Are Not Really Hurt Unless You Become Embittered, Or Unless You Become Angry And Perhaps Do A Mean Thing In Return.

At A Simple Level, Good Is That Which Helps People-evil Is That Which Hurts People. At A Higher Level, Good Is That Which Is In Harmony With Divine Purpose-evil Is That Which Is Out Of Harmony With Divine Purpose.

It's The One Who Doesn't Know It Can't Be Done Who Does It!

The World Is Like A Mirror; If You Smile At It, It Smiles At You. I Love To Smile, And So In General, I Definitely Receive Smiles In Return.

The Only Footwear I Need Is An Inexpensive Pair Of Blue Sneakers. They Have Soft Fabric Tops And Soft Rubber-like Soles. I Get Them One Size Too Large So I Can Wiggle My Toes. I Feel As Free As Though I Were Barefoot! And I Can Usually Get 1,500 Miles To A Pair. I Wear A Pair Of Navy Blue Socks.there's A Reason Why I Chose Navy Blue For My Wearing Apparel-it's A Very Practical Color, Doesn't Show Dirt, And The Color Blue Does Represent Peace And Spirituality.

Humanity Can Only Improve As People Improve. When You Have Improved Your Life, You Can Inspire Those Around You To Want To Improve Their Lives. Remember That A Few In Harmony With God's Will Are More Powerful Than Multitudes Out Of Harmony.

Fountain Of Love My Source Is In Thee - Loving Thy Will My Spirit Is Free - Beautiful Day When All Of Us See - The Hope Of The World Is Love!

The Basic Cause Of All Our Difficulties Is Immaturity. That's Why I Talk So Much About Peace Within Ourselves As A Step Toward Peace In Our World. If We Were Mature, War Would Not Be Possible And Peace Would Be Assured. In Our Immaturity We Do Not Know The Laws Of The Universe, And We Think Evil Can Be Overcome By More Evil. One Symptom Of Our Immaturity Is Greed, Making It Difficult For Us To Learn The Simple Lesson Of Sharing.

Never Think Of Any Right Effort As Being Fruitless. All Right Effort Bears Fruit, Whether We See The Results Or Not.

My Desire Is To Strive Toward Perfection; To Be As Much In Harmony With God's Will As Possible; To Live Up To The Highest Light I Have. I'm Still Not Perfect, Of Course, But I Grow Daily... I Am Able To Do Everything I Am Called To Do, And I Do Know What I Need To Know To Do My Part In The Divine Plan. And I Do Experience The Happiness Of Living In Harmony With God's Will For Me.

Be Willing To Face Life Squarely And Get Down Beneath The Surface Of Life Where The Verities And Realities Are To Be Found.

I Feel A Complete Protection On My Pilgrimage. God Is My Shield. There Are No Accidents In The Divine Plan Nor Does God Leave Us Unattended. No One Walks So Safely As Those Who Walk Humbly And Harmlessly With Great Love And Great Faith.

Now There Is Living To Give Instead Of To Get. As You Concentrate On The Giving, You Discover That Just As You Cannot Receive Without Giving, So Neither Can You Give Without Receiving - Even The Most Wonderful Things Like Health And Happiness And Inner Peace. There Is A Feeling Of Endless Energy, It Just Never Runs Out, It Seems To Be As Endless As Air. You Seem To Be Plugged In To The Source Of Universal Energy.

A Few Really Dedicated People Can Offset The Ill Effects Of Masses Of Out-of-harmony People, So We Who Work For Peace Must Not Falter.

Constantly Through Thought You Are Creating Your Inner Conditions And Helping To Create The Conditions Around You. So Keep Your Thoughts On The Positive Side, Think About The Best That Could Happen, Think About The Good Things You Want To Happen.

Positive Thinking

Think About All The Good Things Of Your Life. Never Think About Your Difficulties. Forget Yourself, And Concentrate On Being Of Service As Much As You Can In This World, And Then, Having Lost Your Lower Self In A Cause Greater Than Yourself, You Will Find Your Higher Self: Your Real Self.

In All The People I Meet - Though Some May Be Governed By The Self-centered Nature And May Not Know Their Potential At All - I See That Divine Spark. And That's What I Concentrate On. All People Look Beautiful To Me; They Look Like Shining Lights To Me. I Always Have The Feeling Of Being Thankful For These Beautiful People Who Walk The Earth With Me.

Ultimate Peace Begins Within; When We Find Peace Within There Will Be No More Conflict, No More Occasion For War. If This Is The Peace You Seek, Purify Your Body By Sensible Living Habits, Purify Your Mind By Expelling All Negative Thoughts, Purify Your Motives By Casting Out Any Ideas Of Greed Or Self-striving And By Seeking To Serve You Fellow Human Beings, Purify Your Desires By Eliminating All Wishes For Material Possessions Or Self-glorification And By Desiring To Know And Do God's Will For You. Inspire Others To Do Likewise.

The Simplification Of Life Is One Of The Steps To Inner Peace. A Persistent Simplification Will Create An Inner And Outer Well-being That Places Harmony In One's Life. For Me This Began With A Discovery Of The Meaninglessness Of Possessions Beyond My Actual And Immediate Needs. As Soon As I Had Brought Myself Down To Need Level, I Began To Feel A Wonderful Harmony In My Life Between Inner And Outer Well-being, Between Spiritual And Material Well-being.

Life Is A Mixture Of Successes And Failures. May You Be Encouraged By The Successes And Strengthened By The Failures. As Long As You Never Lose Faith In God, You Will Be Victorious Over Any Situation You May Face.

Make Food A Very Incidental Part Of Your Life By Filling Your Life So Full Of Meaningful Things That You'll Hardly Have Time To Think About Food.

The Spiritual Life Is The Real Life; All Else Is Illusion And Deception. Only Those Who Are Attached To God Alone Are Truly Free. Only Those Who Live Up To The Highest Light Live In Harmony. All Who Act Upon Their Highest Motivations Become A Power For Good. It Is Not Important That Others Be Noticeably Affected: Results Should Never Be Sought Or Desired. Know That Every Right Thing You Do - Every Good Word You Say - Every Positive Thought You Think - Has Good Effect.

You Are Within God. God Is Within You.

The Best Way To Come To Terms With Anything That Is Out Of Harmony Is Never To Fear It - That Gives It Power. Bring Good Influences To Bear Upon It; Make Yourself A Good Example.

A Loving And Kindly Approach Works Between Individuals, It Works Between Groups And It Would Work Between Nations If Nations Had The Courage To Try It.

When You Have Found Inner Peace, You Are In Constant Contact With The Source Of Universal Energy And Cannot Be Tired. . . You Have Endless Energy.

There Is Great Freedom In Simplicity Of Living, And After I Began To Feel This, I Found Harmony In My Life Between Inner And Outer Well-being. There Is A Great Deal To Be Said About Such Harmony, Not Only For An Individual Life But Also For The Life Of A Society. It's Because As A World We Have Gotten Ourselves So Far Out Of Harmony, So Way Off On The Material Side, That When We Discover Something Like Nuclear Energy We Are Still Capable Of Putting It Into A Bomb And Using It To Kill People! This Is Because Our Inner Well-being Lags So Far Behind Our Outer Well-being.

How Good It Is To Work In The Invigorating Fresh Air Under The Life-giving Sun Amid The Inspiring Beauty Of Nature. There Are Many Who Recognize This... How Good It Is To Earn You Livelihood By Contributing Constructively To The Society In Which You Live - Everyone Should, Of Course, And In A Healthy Society Everyone Would.

Do Not Believe In Me Or Any Other Teacher, Rather Trust In Your Own Inner Voice. This Is Your Guide, This Is Your Teacher. Your Teacher Is Within Not Without. Know Yourself, Not Me!

Spiritual Truth Should Never Be Sold - Those Who Sell It Injure Themselves Spiritually.

Spiritual Truth

People Of The World, The Time For Decision Is Short. It Is Measured In A Few Years. The Choice Is Ours As To Whether Or Not We Will Pay The Price Of Peace. If We Are Not Willing To Pay It, All That We Hold Dear Will Be Consumed In The Flame Of War. The Darkness In Our World Today Is Due To The Disintegration Of Things Which Are Contrary To God's Laws. Let Us Never Say Hopelessly This Is The Darkness Before A Storm; Rather Let Us Say With Faith This Is The Darkness Before The Dawn Of The Golden Age Of Peace, Which We Cannot Now Even Imagine. For This, Let Us Hope And Work And Pray.

If You Realize That Those Who Do Mean Things Are Psychologically Ill, Your Feelings Of Anger Will Turn To Feelings Of Pity.

Judging Others Will Avail You Nothing And Injure You Spiritually. Only If You Can Inspire Others To Judge Themselves Will Anything Worthwhile Have Been Accomplished. When You Approach Others In Judgment They Will Be On The Defensive. When You Are Able To Approach Them In A Kindly, Loving Manner Without Judgment They Will Tend To Judge Themselves And Be Transformed.

A Pilgrim Is A Wanderer With Purpose.

When You Feel The Need For A Spiritual Lift, Try Getting To Bed Early And Get Up Early To Have A Quiet Time At Dawn. Then Carry The Serene 'in Tune' Feeling That Comes To You Into Your Day, No Matter What You May Be Doing.

If You Have A Negative Thought About A World Situation, Dwell Upon The Best That Could Happen In That Situation.

We Have All The Light We Need, We Just Need To Put It In Practice.

If Democracy Is Control By The People, As It Is Supposed To Be, It Is The Right Form Of Government. I Believe In A Complete Democracy - Individual, Political, Social, Economic. If We Really Had That, Which We Don't Now, It Would Be In Harmony With Divine Purpose.

I Recognized That There Are Some Well-known, Little Understood, And Seldom Practiced Laws That We Must Live By If We Wish To Find Peace Within Or Without. Included Are The Laws That Evil Can Only Be Overcome By Good; That Only Good Means Can Attain A Good End; That Those Who Do Unloving Things Hurt Themselves Spiritually.

Knowing That All Things Contrary To God's Laws Are Transient, Let Us Avoid Despair And Radiate Hope For A Warless World.

I Learned About Forty Years Ago That Money And Things Wouldn't Make People Happy. And This Has Been Confirmed Many Times. I Have Met Many Millionaires. They Had One Thing In Common. None Of Them Were Happy....i Realize That If You Don't Have Enough You Won't Be Happy. Neither Are You Happy If You Have Too Much. It Is Those Who Have Enough But Not Too Much Who Are The Happiest.

Religion Is Not An End In Itself. One's Union With God Is The Ultimate Goal.

Implanting Spiritual Ideas In Children Is Very Important. Many People Live Their Entire Lives According To The Concepts That Are Implanted In Them In Childhood. When Children Learn They Will Get The Most Attention And Love Through Doing Constructive Things, They Will Tend To Stop Doing Destructive Things. Most Important Of All, Remember That Children Learn Through Example. No Matter What You Say It Is What You Do That Will Have An Influence On Them.

Attention And Love

Most Human Beings Only Scratch The Surface Of Their Real Potential. They Have No Idea What They're Capable Of.

Just After I Dedicated My Life To Service, I Felt That I Could No Longer Accept More Than I Need While Others In The World Have Less Than They Need. This Moved Me To Bring My Life Down To Need Level. I Thought It Would Be Difficult. I Thought It Would Entail A Great Many Hardships, But I Was Quite Wrong. Instead Of Hardships, I Found A Wonderful Sense Of Peace And Joy, And A Conviction That Unnecessary Possessions Are Only Unnecessary Burdens.

Humanity Has Only Scratched The Surface Of Its Real Potential.

It Is Those Who Have Enough But Not Too Much Who Are The Happiest.

No One Can Find Inner Peace Except By Working, Not In A Self- Centered Way, But For The Whole Human Family.

In My Work I Have Chosen The Positive Approach. I Never Think Of Myself As Protesting Against Something, But Rather As Witnessing For Harmonious Living. Those Who Witness For, Present Solutions. Those Who Witness Against, Usually Do Not - They Dwell On What Is Wrong, Resorting To Judgment And Criticism And Sometimes Even Name-calling. Naturally, The Negative Approach Has A Detrimental Effect On The Person Who Uses It, While The Positive Approach Has A Good Effect

I Talk To Groups Studying The Most Advanced Spiritual Teachings And Sometimes These People Wonder Why Nothing Is Happening In Their Lives. Their Motive Is The Attainment Of Inner Peace For Themselves - Which Of Course Is A Selfish Motive. You Will Not Find It With This Motive. The Motive, If You Are To Find Inner Peace, Must Be An Outgoing Motive. Service, Of Course, Service. Giving, Not Getting. Your Motive Must Be Good If Your Work Is To Have Good Effect. The Secret Of Life Is Being Of Service.

Do Not Suppress It - That Would Hurt You Inside. Do Not Express It - This Would Not Only Hurt You Inside, It Would Cause Ripples In Your Surroundings. What You Do Is Transform It.

If You Recognize That All Of Your Inner Hurts Are Caused By Your Own Wrong Actions Or Your Own Wrong Reactions Or Your Own Wrong Inaction, Then You Will Stop Hurting Yourself.

When You Have Done The Spiritual Growing Up You Realize That Every Human Being Is Of Equal Importance, Has Work To Do In This World, And Has Equal Potential. We Are In Many Varied Stages Of Growth; This Is True Because We Have Free Will. You Have Free Will As To Whether You Will Finish The Mental And Emotional Growing Up. Many Choose Not To.

The Pain And Suffering That Comes To Us Has A Purpose In Our Lives-it Is Trying To Teach Us Something. We Should Look For Its Lesson.

No Outward Thing - Nothing, Nobody From Without - Can Hurt Me Inside, Psychologically. I Recognized That I Could Only Be Hurt Psychologically By My Own Wrong Actions, Which I Have Control Over; By My Own Wrong Reactions (they Are Tricky, But I Have Control Over Them Too); Or By My Own Inaction In Some Situations, Like The Present World Situation, That Need Action From Me. When I Recognized All This How Free I Felt! And I Just Stopped Hurting Myself.

If We Fear Nothing And Radiate Love, We Can Expect Good Things To Come.

There Is No Glimpse Of The Light Without Walking The Path. You Can't Get It From Anyone Else, Nor Can You Give It To Anyone. Just Take Whatever Steps Seem Easiest For You, And As You Take A Few Steps It Will Be Easier For You To Take A Few More.

Many Common Problems Are Caused By Wrong Attitudes. People See Themselves As The Center Of The Universe And Judge Everything As It Relates To Them. Naturally You Won't Be Happy That Way. You Can Only Be Happy When You See Things In Proper Perspective: All Human Beings Are Of Equal Importance In God's Sight, And Have A Job To Do In The Divine Plan.

When Societies Are Out Of Harmony, Problems Develop Within The Society - Collective Problems. Their Purpose Is To Push The Whole Society Toward Harmony.

Know That You Are God's Beautiful Child, Always In God's Hands. Accept God... Accept God's Protection... There Is Really No Problem To Fear. Know That You Are Not The Clay Garment. Know That You Are Not The Self-centered Nature Which Governs Your Life Needlessly. Know That You Are The God-centered Nature, The Kingdom Of God Within. The Indwelling Christ. Eternal And Indestructible. Identify With The Real You.

It Is Not Through Judgment That The Good In People Can Be Reached, But Through Love And Faith.

Who Am I? It Matters Not That You Know Who I Am; It Is Of Little Importance. This Clay Garment Is One Of A Penniless Pilgrim Journeying In The Name Of Peace. It Is What You Cannot See That Is So Very Important. I Am One Who Is Propelled By The Power Of Faith; I Bathe In The Light Of Eternal Wisdom; I Am Sustained By The Unending Energy Of The Universe; This Is Who I Really Am.

What We Usually Call Human Evolution Is The Awakening Of The Divine Nature Within Us.

Truth Is The Pearl Without Price. One Cannot Obtain Truth By Buying It-all You Can Do Is To Strive For Spiritual Truth And When One Is Ready, It Will Be Given Freely. Nor Should Spiritual Truth Be Sold, Lest The Seller Be Injured Spiritually. You Lose Any Spiritual Contact The Moment You Commercialize It. Those Who Have The Truth Would Not Be Packaging And Selling It, So Anyone Who Is Selling It, Really Does Not Possess It.

Prayer Is A Concentration Of Positive Thoughts.

Positive Thoughts

A Few Really Dedicated People Can Offset The Masses Of Out Of Harmony People, So We Who Work For Peace Must Not Falter, We Must Continue To Pray For Peace And To Act For Peace In Whatever Way We Can. We Must Continue To Speak For Peace And To Live The Way Of Peace; To Inspire Others, We Must Continue To Think Of Peace And Know That Peace Is Possible. What We Dwell Upon We Help Bring To Manifestation. One Little Person Giving All Of Her Time To Peace Makes News. Many People Giving Some Of Their Time Can Make History.

All Right Prayer Has Good Effect, But If You Give Your Whole Life To The Prayer You Multiply Its Power... No One Really Knows The Full Power Of Prayer. Of Course, There Is A Relationship Between Prayer And Action. Receptive Prayer Result In An Inner Receiving, Which Motivates To Right Action.

To Attain Inner Peace You Must Actually Give Your Life, Not Just Your Possessions. When You At Last Give Your Life - Bringing Into Alignment Your Beliefs And The Way You Live Then, And Only Then, Can You Begin To Find Inner Peace.

Just As You Cannot Receive Without Giving, So Neither Can You Give Without Receiving.

Just Concentrate On Thinking And Living And Acting In Harmony With God's Laws And Inspiring Others To Do Likewise.

You Have Endless Energy Only When You Are Working For The Good Of The Whole - You Have To Stop Working For Your Little Selfish Interests. That's The Secret Of It. In This World You Are Given As You Give.

Ultimate Peace Begins Within; When We Find Peace Within There Will Be No More Conflict, Nor More Occasion For War.

I Believe That The Means You Use Will Determine The End You Receive.

I Began My Pilgrimage On The First Of January In 1953. It Is My Spiritual Birthday Of Sorts. It Was A Period In Which I Was Merged With The Whole. No Longer Was I A Seed Buried Under The Ground, But I Felt As A Flower Reaching Out Effortlessly Toward The Sun.

A Life Without Problems Would Be A Barren Existence, Without The Opportunity For Spiritual Growth.

When I Started Out On My Pilgrimage, I Was Using Walking For Two Purposes At That Time. One Was To Contact People, And I Still Use It For That Purpose Today. But The Other Was As A Prayer Discipline. To Keep Me Concentrated On My Prayer For Peace. And After A Few Years I Discovered Something. I Discovered That I No Longer Needed The Prayer Discipline. I Pray Without Ceasing Now. My Personal Prayer Is: Make Me An Instrument Through Which Only Truth Can Speak.

Most Of Us Fall Short Much More By Omission Than By Commission. While The World Perishes We Go Our Way: Purposeless, Passionless, Day After Day.

There Is No Greater Block To World Peace Or Inner Peace Than Fear. What We Fear We Tend To Develop An Unreasoning Hatred For, So We Come To Hate And Fear. This Not Only Injures Us Psychologically And Aggravates World Tension, But Through Such Negative Concentration We Tend To Attract The Things We Fear. If We Fear Nothing And Radiate Love, We Can Expect Good Things To Come. How Much This World Needs The Message And Example Of Love And Of Faith!

Inner Peace Is Found By Facing Life Squarely, Solving Its Problems, And Delving As Far Beneath Its Surface As Possible To Discover Its Verities And Realities.

There Is Something To That Old Saying That Hate Injures The Hater, Not The Hated.

Many People Profess Christianity. Very Few Live It-almost None. And When You Live It People May Think You're Crazy. It Has Been Truthfully Said That The World Is Equally Shocked By One Who Repudiates Christianity As By One Who Practices It.

The Sanctuary Of Peace Dwells Within. Seek It Out And All Things Will Be Added To You. We're Coming Closer And Closer To The Time When Enough Of Us Will Have Found Inner Peace To Affect Our Institutions For The Better. And As Soon As This Happens The Institutions Will In Turn, Through Example, Affect For The Better Those Who Are Still Immature.

I Would Like To Mention Some Preparations That Were Required Of Me. The First Preparation Is To Take A Right Attitude Toward Life. This Means, Stop Being An Escapist! Stop Being A Surface Liver Who Stays Right In The Froth Of The Surface. There Are Millions Of These People, And They Never Find Anything Really Worthwhile. Be Willing To Face Life Squarely And Get Down Beneath The Surface Of Life Where The Verities And Realities Are To Be Found. That's What We Are Doing Here Now.

Anything You Strive To Hold Captive Will Hold You Captive, And If You Desire Freedom You Must Give Freedom.

We Must Be Able To Appreciate And Enjoy The Places Where We Tarry And Yet Pass On Without Anguish When We Are Called Elsewhere. In Our Spiritual Development We Are Often Required To Pull Up Roots Many Times And To Close Many Chapters In Our Lives Until We Are No Longer Attached To Any Material Thing And Can Love All People Without Any Attachment To Them.

When We Hear A Prediction Of Some Disaster We Need To Throw The Entire Weight Of Our Positive Thought In The Opposite Direction!

To The World I May Seem Very Poor, Walking Penniless And Wearing Or Carrying In My Pockets My Only Material Possessions, But I Am Really Very Rich In Blessings Which No Amount Of Money Could Buy - Health And Happiness And Inner Peace.

Difficulties With Material Things Often Come To Remind Us That Our Concentration Should Be On Spiritual Things Instead Of Material Things. Sometimes Difficulties Of The Body Come To Show That The Body Is Just A Transient Garment, And That The Reality Is The Indestructible Essence Which Activates The Body. But When We Can Say, 'thank God For Problems Which Are Sent For Our Spiritual Growth.' They Are No Longer Problems. They Then Become Opportunities.

Before The Tongue Can Speak, It Must Have Lost The Power To Wound.

I've Met A Few People Who Had To Change Their Jobs In Order To Change Their Lives, But I've Met Many More People Who Merely Had To Change Their Motive To Service In Order To Change Their Lives.

If We Could Put Material Things Into Their Proper Place, And Use Them Without Being Attached To Them, How Much Freer We Would Be. Then We Wouldn't Burden Ourselves With Things We Don't Need. If We Could Only Realize That We Are All Cells In The Same Body Of Humanity - Then We Would Think Of Having Enough For All, Not Too Much For Some And Too Little For Others.

If Only You Could See The Whole Picture, If You Knew The Whole Story, You Would Realize That No Problem Ever Comes To You That Does Not Have A Purpose In Your Life, That Cannot Contribute To Your Inner Growth.

People Sometimes Ask Me If I Do Not Feel Lonely On Holidays. How Can I Feel Lonely When I Live In The Constant Awareness Of God's Presence? I Love And I Enjoy Being With People, But When I Am Alone I Enjoy Being Alone With God.

Live In The Present. Do The Things That Need To Be Done. Do All The Good You Can Each Day. The Future Will Unfold

We Are That Which Activates The Body.

Walk With Me, But Don't Follow Me Blindly. Hold Fast To The Truth, Not To My Garments. My Body Is Merely A Clay Structure; Today It Is Here, Tomorrow It Shall Be Gone. If You Attach Yourself To Me Today, What Are You Going To Do Tomorrow When I Am Not With You? Attach Yourself To God, Attach Yourself To Humanity, Only Then Will You Be Closer To Me.

Of Course, I Love Everyone I Meet. How Could I Fail To! Within Everyone Is The Spark Of God. I Am Not Concerned With Racial Or Ethnic Background Or The Color Of One's Skin; All People Look To Me Like Shining Lights! I See In All Creatures The Reflections Of God. All People Are My Kinfolk - People To Me Are Beautiful!

When We Attempt To Isolate Another We Only Isolate Ourselves. We Are All God's Children And There Are No Favorites. God Is Revealed To All Who Seek; God Speaks To All Who Will Listen. Be Still And Know God.

I Always Have A Feeling Of Awe And Wonder At What God Can Do - Using Me As An Instrument. I Believe That Anyone Who Is Fully Surrendered To God's Will Can Be Used Gloriously - And Will Really Know Some Things - And Will Probably Be Called Self-righteous. You're Called Self-righteous If You Are Self-centered Enough To Think You Know Everything - But You May Also Be Called Self-righteous By The Immature If You Are God-centered Enough To Really Know Some Things.

Religion Is To Be Used As A Stepping Stone To God But It Must Never Be Used As A Tower To Hold One Aloft From Others. We Are All Cells In The Body Of Humanity. When Anyone Attempts To Isolate Another, They Only Isolate Themselves More.

Some People Seem To Think That My Life Dedicated To Simplicity And Service Is Austere And Joyless, But They Do Not Know The Freedom Of Simplicity. I Am Thankful To God Every Moment Of My Life For The Great Riches That Have Been Showered Upon Me. My Life Is Full And Good But Never Overcrowded. If Life Is Overcrowded Then You Are Doing More Than Is Required For You To Do.

Thankful To God

Concealed In Every New Situation We Face Is A Spiritual Lesson To Be Learned And A Spiritual Blessing For Us If We Learn That Lesson. It Is Good To Be Tested. We Grow And Learn Through Passing Tests. I Look Upon All My Tests As Good Experiences. Before I Was Tested, I Believed I Would Act In A Loving Or Non-fearing Way. After I Was Tested, I Knew! Every Test Turned Out To Be An Uplifting Experience. And It Is Not Important That The Outcome Be According To Our Wishes.

In The Beginning I Undertook My Walking Not Only To Contact People, I Undertook It As A Prayer Discipline To Keep Me Concentrated On My Prayer For Peace... After The First Few Years The Prayer Discipline Was Completely Unnecessary, Because I Had Learned To Pray Without Ceasing. I Made The Contact So Thoroughly That Into My Prayer Consciousness I Put Any Condition Or Person In The World I Am Concerned About And The Rest Takes Place Automatically.

I No Longer Become Angry. I Not Only Do Not Say Angry Words, I Do Not Even Think Angry Thoughts! If Someone Does An Unkind Thing To Me I Feel Only Compassion Instead Of Resentment. Even Upon Those Who Cause Suffering I Look With Deep Compassion, Knowing The Harvest Of Sorrow That Lies In Store For Them. If There Were Those Who Hated Me, I Would Love Them In Return, Knowing That Hatred Can Only Be Overcome By Love, And Knowing That There Is Good In All Human Beings Which Can Be Reached By A Loving Approach.

Praying Without Ceasing Is Not Ritualized, Nor Are There Even Words. It Is A Constant State Of Awareness Of Oneness With God.

I Felt A Complete Willingness, Without Any Reservations, To Give My Life, To Dedicate My Life To Service. I Tell You, It's A Point Of No Return. After That, You Can Never Go Back To Completely Self-centered Living.

How Often Are You Worrying About The Present Moment? The Present Moment Is Usually All Right. If You're Worrying, You're Either Agonizing Over The Past Which You Should Have Forgotten Long Ago, Or Else You're Apprehensive Over The Future Which Hasn't Even Come Yet. We Tend To Skip Over The Present Moment Which Is The Only Moment God Gives Any Of Us To Live.

In Order To Help Usher In The Golden Age We Must See The Good In People. We Must Know It Is There, No Matter How Deeply It May Be Buried. Yes, Apathy Is There And Selfishness Is There - But Good Is There Also. It Is Not Through Judgment That The Good Can Be Reached, But Through Love And Faith.

The Ideal Society Has Yet To Be Built - One Which Balances Nicely Collective Well-being And Individual Well-being.

I Have Never Met Anyone Who Built A Bomb Shelter And Felt Protected By It. I Have Never Met A Modern Military Man Who Did Not Realize That Military Victory Is A Concept Which Became Obsolete With The Coming Of The Nuclear Age, And Most Civilians Realize This Also. Wisdom Demands That We Stop Preparing To Wage A War Which Would Eliminate Mankind - And Start Preparing To Eliminate The Seeds Of War.

I Don't Eat Junk Foods And I Don't Think Junk Thoughts.

....if You Are Guided Toward A Faith, Use It As A Stepping Stone To God, Not As A Barrier Between Yourself And God's Other Children Or As A Tower To Hold You Aloft From Others. If You Are Not Guided Toward A Faith (or Even If You Are) Seek God In The Silence - Seek Within.

Life Is Like A Mirror. Smile At It And It Smiles Back At You.

There Was A Time - When I Attained Inner Peace - When I Died, Utterly Died To Myself. I Have Since Renounced My Previous Identity. I Can See Not Reason To Dwell Upon My Past, It Is Dead And Should Not Be Resurrected. Don't Inquire Of Me - Ask Me About My Message. It Is Not Important To Remember The Messenger, Just Remember The Message.

I Have Faith That God Will Care For Me, And God Does Provide My Needs. I Don't In Any Way Feel Insecure Because I Don't Know Where I Will Sleep At Night, Where Or When I Will Eat Next. When You Have Spiritual Security, You Have No More Feeling Of Need For Material Security.

I Walk Until Given Shelter, Fast Until Given Food. I Don't Ask - It's Given Without Asking. Aren't People Good! There's A Spark Of Good In Everybody, No Mater How Deeply It May Be Buried. It's Waiting To Govern Your Life Gloriously.

As I Accepted The Change Of The Golden Hair Of My Childhood To The Reddish-brown Hair Of My Youth Without Regret, So I Also Accept My Silver Hair-and I Am Ready To Accept The Time When My Hair And The Rest Of My Clay Garment Returns To The Dust From Which It Came, While My Spirit Goes On To Freer Living. It Is The Season For My Hair To Be Silver, And Each Season Has Its Lessons To Teach. Each Season Of Life Is Wonderful If You Have Learned The Lessons Of The Season Before. It Is Only When You Go On With Lessons Unlearned That You Wish For A Return.

I Deal With Spiritual Truth Which Should Never Be Sold And Need Never Be Bought. When You Are Ready It Will Be Given.

It Isn't Enough Just To Do Right Things And Say Right Things, You Must Also Think Right Things Before Your Life Can Come Into Harmony.

If Any Influential Nation Had The Great Spiritual Strength To Lay Down Its Arms And Appear With Clean Hands Before The World, The World Would Be Changed. I See No Evidence That Any Influential Nations Has Such Great Spiritual Strength And Courage. Therefore Disarmament Will Be A Slow Process, Motivated By The Wish To Survive.

Worry Is A Useless Mulling Over Of Things We Cannot Change.

I Wish That Every Child Could Have Growing Space Because I Think Children Are A Little Like Plants. If They Grow Too Close Together, They Become Thin And Sickly And Never Obtain Maximum Growth. We Need Room To Grow.

I Recognize My Part In The Life Pattern And I Find Harmony Through Gladly And Joyously Living It. I Recognize My Oneness With All Mankind And My Oneness With God. My Happiness Overflows In Loving And Giving Toward Everyone And Everything.

Believing That War Is Contrary To The Will Of God And To Common Sense, And Feeling That The Way Of Peace Is The Way Of Love, I Shall Work For Peace By Using The Way Of Love Myself, By Helping Any Group I Am Part Of To Use It, By Helping The Nation Of Which I Am A Citizen To Use It, By Helping The United Nations To Use It, And By Praying That The Way Of Love Be Used All Over The World.

Never Underestimate The Power Of A Loosely Knit Group Working For A Good Cause. All Of Us Who Work For Peace Together, All Of Us Who Pray For Peace Together, Are A Small Minority, But A Powerful Spiritual Fellowship. Our Power Is Beyond Our Numbers.

One In Harmony With God's Law Of Love Has More Strength Than An Army, For One Need Not Subdue An Adversary; An Adversary Can Be Transformed.

As I Looked About The World, So Much Of It Impoverished, I Became Increasingly Uncomfortable About Having So Much While My Brothers And Sisters Were Starving. Finally I Had To Find Another Way.

You Can Find God If You Will Only Seek - By Obeying Divine Laws, By Loving People, By Relinquishing Self-will, Attachments, Negative Thoughts And Feelings. And When You Find God It Will Be In Stillness. You Will Find God Within.

I Am Constantly Thankful. The World Is So Beautiful, I Am Thankful. I Have Endless Energy, I Am Thankful. I Am Plugged Into The Source Of Universal Supply, I Am Thankful.

You Have The Free Will To Either Allow It To Govern Your Life, Or Not To Allow It To Affect You. The Choice Is Always Yours!

The Path Of The Seeker Is Full Of Pitfalls And Temptations, And The Seeker Must Walk It Alone With God. I Would Recommend That You Keep Your Feet On The Ground And Your Thoughts At Lofty Heights, So That You May Attract Only Good. Concentrate On Giving So That You May Open Yourself To Receiving; Concentrate On Living According To The Light You Have So That You May Open Yourself To More Light; Get As Much Light As Possible Through The Inner Way.

There Is Great Freedom In Simplicity Of Living.

When You Find Peace Within Yourself, You Become The Kind Of Person Who Can Live At Peace With Others. Inner Peace Is Not Found By Staying On The Surface Of Life, Or By Attempting To Escape From Life Through Any Means. Inner Peace Is Found By Facing Life Squarely, Solving Its Problems, And Delving As Far Beneath Its Surface As Possible To Discover Its Verities And Realities.

I Remember My First Lesson On The Pilgrimage Was The Lesson Of Receiving. I Had Been On The Giving Side For Many Years And I Needed To Learn To Accept As Gracefully As I Had Been Able To Give, In Order To Give The Other Fellow The Joy And Blessing Of Giving.

Intellectually I Touched God Many Times As Truth And Emotionally I Touched God As Love. I Touched God As Goodness. I Touched God As Kindness.

That Brought God Close. I Could Not Be Where God Is Not. You Are Within God. God Is Within You.

It Takes Quite A While For The Living To Catch Up With The Believing, But Of Course It Can. As We Live Up To The Highest Light We Have, More Light Is Given.

I Also Made Two Very Important Discoveries As Time Went On. In The First Place, I Discovered That Making Money Was Easy. I Had Been Led To Believe That Money And Possessions Would Insure Me A Life Of Happiness And Peace Of Mind. So That Was The Path I Pursued. In The Second Place, I Discovered That Making Money And Spending It Foolishly Was Completely Meaningless. I Knew That This Was Not What I Was Here For, But At That Time I Didn't Know Exactly What I Was Here For.

Those Who Have Overcome Self-will And Become Instruments To Do God's Work Can Accomplish Tasks Which Are Seemingly Impossible, But They Experience No Feeling Of Self Achievement. I Now Know Myself To Be A Part Of The Infinite Cosmos, Not Separate From Other Souls Or God. My Illusory Self Is Dead; The Real Self Controls The Garment Of Clay And Uses It For God's Work.

The Purpose Of Problems Is To Push You Toward Obedience To God's Laws, Which Are Exact And Cannot Be Changed. We Have The Free Will To Obey Them Or Disobey Them. Obedience Will Bring Harmony, Disobedience Will Bring You More Problems... There Was A Time When I Thought It Was A Nuisance To Be Confronted With A Problem. I Tried To Get Rid Of It. I Tried To Get Somebody Else To Solve It For Me. But That Was A Long Time Ago. It Was A Great Day In My Life When I Discovered The Wonderful Purpose Of Problems. Yes, They Have A Wonderful Purpose.

People Have Had To Make Up For Their Spiritual Impoverishment By Accumulating Material Things. When Spiritual Blessings Come, Material Blessings Seem Unimportant. As Long As We Desire Material Things This Is All We Receive, And We Remain Spiritually Impoverished.

We Should Never Underestimate The Great Power Of The Way Of Love Which Reaches That Spark Of Good In The Other Person, Always There No Matter How Deeply Buried, And The Person Is Disarmed.

Unnecessary Possessions Are Unnecessary Burdens.
