God is dwelling among his chosen people. God is dwelling in the heart. God is greater than the heart. God is all, not a part, yet every part. Love God with all your heart. Love yourself with the same devotion. Love all who come to you as you love God. But practice finding the loving within yourself before you look out. With loving, nothing is impossible.

The key of dedication combined with devotion -- to your true self and to your goal of Soul Transcendence -- can be a powerful motivator.

Devotion is to who you really are, your Soul, and your devotion to doing spiritual exercises is the expression of the heartfelt yearning for greater awareness.

In the Bible, it says to choose this day whom you will serve. Which day? This day. Does it matter what we did yesterday or what we're going to do tomorrow? No, it's this day. "Choose you this day whom ye will serve, . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15). Notice that "house" part. That's your "10 percent," (the physical level of existence,) your area to take care of your responsibility. So keep the things around you in the Light; keep them clean and clear and loved and cherished.

When you are in divine communion, you may find yourself moving very naturally into the stream of Light we call the Sound Current of God.

There is something truly wonderful that goes on when you worship. You are placing yourself before the one that you would most want to be with and see and know and hear and touch, to come into that presence and move in consciousness beyond the world.

Taking care of yourself is loving yourself. You release the downward flow of energy and circulate it back up again. Experience the devotion to yourself that allows you to take care of yourself.

Your devotion keeps you moving forward. All you have to do, believe it or not, is keep yourself centered toward the Light consciousness. It's easy. Everyday in every way, turn toward the Light. Ask for the Light in the morning when you get up, when you get to the car, when you get to the gas station, before you get on the freeway, when you park your car, and on the way into work. You'll enhance your realization of Living In God's Holy Thoughts. That's the Light -- all the time.

Those who sit very quietly in the silence that roars the name of the Light and do the most mundane jobs in love and devotion are performing a beautiful service that God sees as very great, indeed.

Devotion may express itself as, "Lord, here I am to help, to be helped, to share and to be one with all. I don't have to be all things to all people. I'm not even going to try. I'm just going to be me." Just to be you can be a great challenge. I've said so often and to so many people, "Thank God you're you." And they look at me and think, "Thank God I'm me? But I'm so angry and hurt inside." That's not the part I see. That's the illusionary part which is always changing. You'll sacrifice it later when you realize truth isn't going to reach into those areas. You'll sacrifice it when you get the vision of a greater reality.
