Q: When I do my spiritual exercises I often experience anxiety and anger. What do you suggest I do? A: The anger and anxiety is being surfaced when you do your spiritual exercises. If those feelings were not in you then they would not be coming up.

Free will happens only when you're more highly evolved, because only God has free will. So, when you make your will the same as God's, it's free. But prior to that, you do the individuality.

Every time you're in a state of gratitude and have clarity of vision and are making the leap of faith into it by walking toward it, you're producing the positive energy around you. Then people will look at you, and you'll wonder why they're staring. It's because they are seeing a demonstration of that invisible substance being made visible.

Children have to be taught to laugh at themselves and not to live their lives according to the opinions of others. Teach them to play roles and have fun with it. Let them dress up in funny costumes and have a good laugh at themselves. Let them put on plays and act out their ideas. These things are really healthy. It's important that children play.

The Beloved stands with you and gives love to you.

We experience the sensual pleasures of the body thinking they will awaken our Souls; but they awaken nothing but our ego. Becoming aware of this can be terribly painful. What do I do with that pain?
