Powerful Thoughts
I have collected many quotes through the years. I would like to share a few of these with you. Some may suit your immediate needs. Others may be just the right thing at a later date. Here are some of my favorites. You can begin with this mood...

Your playing small does not serve you or the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. | | -- Marianne Williamson |
| Blessed is the man (whose)...delight is in the law of the Lord; and in this law does he meditate day and night.

These quotes may or may not be in the actual textbook entitled "A Course in miracles," but they are part of the technology taught in various classes in which I took on the Course.
