WORLDWIDE LAWS OF LIFE: 200 ETERNAL SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES
John Marks Templeton
|
|
| 1 |
"Look around you. Find an avenue where you can offer the gift of yourself."
|
|
| 2 |
"Beauty is inherent within the soul of each person, and this beauty can be made more apparent as we affirm it within our life and world and focus our minds to comprehend more clearly."
|
|
| 3 |
"When we recognize our roots in the human family, we no longer feel a need to stand in judgment of others. Judgment only condemns and separates people. It places one person or group against another, whereas compassion and empathy can bring people together and promote clearer communication. 'I care about you and I want to support you' is the clear message."
|
|
| 4 |
"We always have a choice. We can let the garden of our life grow wild and unattended until it fills with weeds, or we can take up the proper tools and tend to our garden until we create a place of unimaginable loveliness."
|
|
| 5 |
"Love is an inner quality that sees good everywhere and in everybody. It insists that all is good, and by refusing to see anything but good, it tends to cause that quality to appear uppermost in itself and in other things."
|
|
| 6 |
"To be a happy and useful person, it is important to understand and practice the Laws of Life. These laws are simply the set of rules by which we should live. They come from a vast array of sources – the major Scriptures of the world; various schools of philosophical thought, both ancient and modern; storytellers, such as Aesop; scientists, such as Isaac Newton; and from various artists and historians – to name a few."
|
|
| 7 |
"Love, founded on truth and not on someone's mood, knows by its own fires of devotion how to make calamities serve a useful purpose."
|
|
| 8 |
"Just as a hologram is made up of numerous pixels – each one containing all of the information that can be found in the total image – so each person may be a tiny particle of life, containing all the data that is present in the sum of total existence."
|
|
| 9 |
"There is in reality one Mind….This Mind is the life, intelligence, power, and creativity in the entire universe."
|
|
| 10 |
"Through the ages, the wise and thoughtful among us have said that there is good in everything and everyone if we just take the time to look for it."
|
|
| 11 |
"You can begin now to understand that people on 'the other side' of the world are just like you and me – they only want to be free to be happy and useful."
|
|
| 12 |
"There is no one without love to give."
|
|
| 13 |
"Love is the ideal and the dream, in some manner of expression, of every person who lives, for in the Creator's Love were our souls conceived and in Love lies our destiny to express."
|
|
| 14 |
"As you begin to realize that God is lovingly in charge of your life, you may also understand that there is really nothing to fear."
|
|
| 15 |
"Love is the true nature of every soul. It's the nature of your soul to live and create experiences of love, because love originates in the essence of your being. The power, force, and energy of love reside self-existent withn us as our very life's blood. And it is so important to express that love!"
|
|
| 16 |
"Love is the 'spiritual glue' that holds everything together."
|
|
| 17 |
"All conditions and circumstances in affairs and body are attracted to us to accord with the thoughts we hold steadily in consciousness."
|
|
| 18 |
"In 'Man's Search for Meaning', Victor Frankl tells of his experience in a Nazi concentration camp. He reflects on the irony that he never felt so free as he did during that dreadful period. How could that be true? Even though all obvious freedoms had been taken away from him and he was living in constant threat of sickness, torture, and death, he discovered a depth of freedom inside of himself that he had never before experienced. We are free spirits, and our minds are not bound to anything unless we think we are."
|
|
| 19 |
"Love has the patience to endure the fault we cannot cure." J. Jelinek
|
|
| 20 |
"Shakespeare wrote, 'There is a destiny that will shape our end, rough hew it how we will.' This statement seems to mean that there may be an ultimate goal, or a divine plan, established for each person who comes into this world."
|
|
| 21 |
"Our thoughts are, most assuredly, things. They are conceived in the mind and travel through time and space like ripples in a pond affecting all that they touch."
|
|
| 22 |
"The Laws of Life work for the highest good of all."
|
|
| 23 |
"Without the Divine Being, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail." Abraham Lincoln
|
|
| 24 |
"The true universal, 'higher' self within us is an individualized center of God-consciousness."
|
|
| 25 |
"When we truly understand that no one can make us think or feel anything unless we give them permission, we begin to understand the vastness of our freedom. No person or circumstance has the power to change that truth."
