SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

There is no such thing as a problem
without a gift for you in its hands.
You seek problems because you need their gifts.
Richard Bach, Illusions

With love, your life vibrates warmth and meaning.
Even during hardship, love shines through.
There is no force more potent than love.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back,
a roof over your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

You don't love a woman because she is beautiful,
but she is beautiful because you love her.

TRUST YOURSELF:
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART,
AND RESPOND ACCORDING TO THE INNER PROMPTINGS
OF YOUR OWN GOD SELF.

When your life is filled with the desire
to see the holiness in everyday life,
something magical happens:
ordinary life becomes extraordinary,
and the very process
of life begins to nourish the soul.
Rabbi Harold Kushner

The world we have created is a product of our thinking.
It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
Albert Einstein

YOU HAVE NEVER MADE A MISTAKE, EVER.
YOU HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
WHAT IS THERE TO FEEL GUILTY FOR?
EVERYTHING YOU DO YOU KNOW WITHIN YOUR SOUL
THAT THE EXPERIENCE IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
IT IS ONLY AFTER THE EXPERIENCE --
WHEN THE FEELINGS DERIVED FROM IT HAVE SETTLED INTO WISDOM --
THAT YOU ASCERTAIN THAT PERHAPS YOU COULD HAVE
DONE IT BETTER OR DIFFERENTLY.
THAT IS ALSO CALLED INNOCENCE,
AND IT IS ALSO CALLED EDUCATION.
Ramtha

Friends are angels who lift us
to our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly.

The supreme happiness of life is
the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo

The three great essentials to achieve
anything worthwhile are first,
hard work;
second, stick-to-itiveness;
and third, common sense.
Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931)

Lean on me and I'll hold you
I'll help you when you're blue,
But please hold me when I need you to.

Please give your love to me,
That's all I ask, you see.
Is that you love me truly!
By: Beth Boll, Illinois

Make it a rule of life
never to regret and never look back.
Regret is an appalling waste of energy;
you can't build on it;
it is only good for wallowing in.
Katherine Mansfield

They that can give up essential liberty
to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin

THOSE WHO FALL IN LOVE WHEN THE MOON TURNS TO PURPLE,
OR WHEN THE WIND BLOWS THROUGH THEIR HAIR,
OR WHEN A TWIG FALLS TO THE GROUND, OR A BIRD TAKES FLIGHT,
KNOW ABOUT EMOTION.
THUS THEY KNOW ABOUT THE ENRICHMENT OF THE GOD
THAT THEY ARE AND THE VIRTUE WHICH
THEY HAVE OBTAINED TO KNOW THAT.
Ramtha

If you don't run your own life,
somebody else will.
You are in control of your life to the degree that
you make the decisions.

All The Wealth of The World
Could Not Buy You A Friend.
Nor Pay You For The Loss Of One.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IN MOST RELATIONSHIPS
OF ANY AND ALL KINDS,
EACH PERSON IS LOOKING TO THE OTHER TO FILL THEIR NEEDS,
LACKS, AND INSECURITIES?
WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WOULD WE HAVE IF
WE FILLED OUR OWN NEEDS, LACKS, AND INSECURITIES?

Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer
Thought it scarcely worth his while
To waste much time on the old violin,
But held it up with a smile.
"What am I bidden, good folks," he cried,
"Who will start bidding for me?
A dollar, a dollar" --then, "Two!" "Only two?
Two dollars, and who'll make it three?
Three dollars, twice;
"Going for three --" But no,
From the room, far back, a gray-haired man
Came forward and picked up the bow;
Then wiping the dust from the old violin,
And tightening the loose strings.
He played a melody pure and sweet
As sweet as a caroling angel sings.

The music ceased and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low,
Said what am I bidden for the old violin?
And he held it up with the bow.
A thousand dollars, and who'll make it two?

Two thousand! And who'll make it three?
Three thousand, once; three thousand twice;
And going, and gone!" said he.
The people cheered, but some of them cried,
"We do not quite understand
What changed its worth?" Swift came the reply:
"The touch of the master's hand.

And many a man with life out of tune,
And battered and scattered with sin,
Is auctioned off cheap to the thoughtless crowd,
Much like the old violin.
A "mess of pottage," a glass of wine;
A game -- and he travels on.
He's "going" once, and "going" twice,
He's "going" and "almost gone."
But the Master comes and the foolish crowd
Never quite understand
The worth of a soul and the change that's wrought
By the touch of the Master's hand.

When we will not forgive,
we allow our vengeance and anger to possess us.
We are no longer masters in our own homes;
we let anger, pride, and self-justification take charge.

THE GREATER THE LOVE GROWS WITHIN YOU,
THE GREATER YOUR KINGDOM SHALL MANIFEST ABUNDANTLY
AROUND YOU IN THIS YOUR REALITY.
THE MORE IT MANIFESTS,
THE MORE UNLIMITED YOU WILL BECOME.
Ramtha

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.

To learn is to live,
to study is to grow,
and growth is the measurement of life.
The mind must be taught to think,
the heart to feel,
and the hands to labor.
When these have been educated to their highest point,
then is the time to offer them to the service of their fellowman,
not before.
Founder of Philosophical Research Society

SINCE I WAS A CHILD, THROUGH OBSERVATION
I THOUGHT THAT THE PURPOSE OF LIFE WAS
TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM LIKE AND ACCEPT ME.
I NOW KNOW THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO
DO WHAT I FEEL I WANT TO DO,
TO HAVE JOY,
TO EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS AND EMOTIONS, AND
TO DISCOVER WHO AND WHAT I AM.

Thanks to the many sources and the teachers for this knowledge
and wisdom that is helping us on our journey.
