Who is royalty? What kind of places do royal people occupy? Where do they live, and what are their lifestyles like? It doesn't matter how you arrive at that image. You can do past, present, future, fantasy, reality -- anything that represents royalty for you. Then claim that royalty. Recognize that you are royalty. You deserve it all. That's the consciousness of wealth.

You do not have to allow psychic influences to manipulate or control you. You have a choice. You can direct your life into whatever pattern you wish. If you have been under the influence and identity of psychic energies, you can recover the spiritual identity of who you are -- who you really are. When you have found that center and can maintain that center, you can assist other people from that solid base. You can demonstrate freedom, spiritual love and the Light of Spirit.

We often tell people to sit still and do something, rather than sit still and do nothing. Sitting still and doing something means that you are looking within for balance.

The Spiritual Warrior deals in experience. When you have experience with God, you will realize that God is existence, and that in reality, you don't live God as much as God lives you.

Love is the only channel for clear communication. And peace is the parent of love.

I often tell people, "Why don't you just sit there until you outlast whatever it is that's pushing you around inside when you do spiritual exercises, because it not only pushes you around with spiritual exercises, but it pushes you around with every other relationship, too." So during the time you're sitting for meditating, for spiritual exercises, that's the time to cage that "little devil" that pulls you away and not let it have it's say-so in you. Understand that it doesn't run you just in spiritual exercises; it runs you at various times all over the place.

I carry around a little card with a quote that reads, "If you would learn the secret of Soul Transcendence, look for the good, for the Divine in people and things, and all the rest leave to God." I carry it around with me because, at times, I need to be reminded. I have had moments of difficulty seeing the good -- not only in people but also in events, in feelings, in thoughts, and in various situations. For me to work this principle, I need to look at each challenging person, situation, or thing and tell myself, "There has got to be some good in there somewhere. There is always good. The Divine is always present." My job is to continuously look for the good and the Divine.

All too often we want to take the things that our parents did to us when we were youngsters and use them against ourselves. We'll say that "my mother made me this way" or "my father made me that way." I'm not saying it is or isn't true. But, you know, I tried that on my father once. My dad said to me, "You have the wit to know that anything that happened to you as a child and when you were going through school most likely happened all right. And you're smart enough not to let that bother you from now on, either between you inside of you, or between you and me or your mother." You know something? He was right. If I had gone on and promoted that, that would've been so. But he just told me, "You don't lay these things against me and your mother. We did the best we knew how with what we were doing. And you're smart enough now that you can see and make up any mistake that we made." My dad healed a memory in me. And the healing of memories is one of the most vital ministries that the Mystical Traveler has.

Imagine for a moment a tremendous canvas hung in a narrow corridor. You can only look at a bit at a time. As you shift your eyes, the part you are looking at is known and the rest of the picture is unknown. You will never see the picture in its entirety; and so it is unknowable. Yet you do know it intimately, in fragments. In the same way, Spirit, the unknowable, becomes in a manner known to you, though its fullness remains forever unknowable.

The Soul does not want any authority above it because it's made in God's image. That is a primary factor, and when that gets down to the physical level and gets mixed in with the ego, people may say, "You can't tell me what to do", and they will not accept any type of authority. They say, "I'm going to do it my way." And everyone is welcome to do it their way, but what if their way produces misery? And if they want to go for joy, then they must give up those things that make them miserable and move into new ways that will produce joy. And some people would rather do it their way, even if it does not produce joy, than give in to another way, even if that does produce joy. Sometimes people are just like that.
