“The author and the reader know each other: they meet on the bridge of words.”—Madeleine L’Engle.
Supposedly the following quote came from a Native American elder, “You can look at the events ahead as a hole or a door. A hole will suck you in. A door will open to new possibilities."
Let us choose the door.
And from Dr. Terry Cole Whittiker:
“It takes a daring person to give up sickness and give up living from doom and gloom. It takes daring to actually give from joy and to change your work so that you are doing nothing but adding to peoples’ greatness.”
Yesterday, I stumbled upon an old blog site that I no longer use, and I was struck by Terry’s quote. I was taken back to the first time I walked into Terry’s Science of the Mind Church in San Diego, California—and walked out a different person.
Maybe I didn’t change so much in the hour or so I spent there, but it changed my focus; I found a home where others thought similarly to me. They came together in joy and celebration.
Those memories sent me back to reading some of the material I knew long ago, but it dimmed of late when I got caught up in world conditions. Zig Zigler was correct when he said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.”
Neville Goddard (1905-1972) wrote, “A nation can exhibit no greater wisdom in the mass than it generates in its units. For this reason, I have always preached self- help.”
Some say you are selfish in going for self-help. No, if everyone was whole, if they knew they were divine beings in love with life and the world, we would live in paradise. Until that day, we must have laws, preserve the rights of individuals, feed the hungry, and protect the weak and innocent. That’s society. We’d have a hard time without traffic laws. Can you imagine setting up the stop light system? I am amazed.
