Jan 01
It is not God's function to create or uncreate the circumstances and conditions of your life. God created You, in the image and likeness of God. You have created the rest.
- page 13
Jan 02Do the deed that you want to have the new thought about. Then say the words that you want to have your new thought about. Do this often enough and you'll train the mind to think a new way.
- page 164
Jan 03I have always been here to help you, I am here now. You don't have to find answers on your own. You never had to.
- page 66
Jan 04A true master is not the one with the most students, but one who creates the most masters.
- page 114
Jan 05Your ideas about Right and Wrong are just that-ideas. They are the thoughts which form the shape and create the substance of Who You Are. There would be only one reason to change any of these; only one purpose in making an alteration; if you are not happy with who you are.
- page 62
Jan 06Life is eternal. You are immortal. You never do die. You simply change form.
- page 193
Jan 07God's greatest moment is the moment you realize you need no God.
- page 114
Jan 08
Let your love propel your beloveds into the world-and into the full experience of who they are. In this will you have truly loved.
- page 115
Jan 09
If you have caught yourself in an ungodly act as a result of doing what is best for you, the confusion is not in having put yourself first, but rather in misunderstanding what is best for you.
- page 132
Jan 10Treating others with love does not necessarily mean allowing others to do as they wish.
- page 132
Jan 11God asks only that you include yourself among those you love.
- page 132
Jan 12If there were such a thing as sin, this would be it: to allow yourself to become what you are because of the experience of others.
- page 62
Jan 13If your values serve you, hold to them. Argue for them. Fight to defend them. Yet seek to fight in a way that harms no one. Harm is not a necessary ingredient in healing.
- page 62
Jan 14The soul-your soul-knows all there is to know all the time. There is nothing hidden to it, nothing unknown. Yet knowing is not enough. The soul seeks to experience.
- page 22
Jan 15You can know yourself to be generous, but unless you do something which displays generosity, you have nothing but a concept. You can know yourself to be kind, but unless you do someone a kindness, you have nothing but an idea about yourself.
- page 22
Jan 16The first thing to understand about the universe is that no condition is "good" or "bad". It just is. So stop making value judgements.
- page 79
Jan 17"The first step in changing anything is to know and accept that you have chosen it to be what it is. If you cant accept this on a personal level, agree to it through your understanding that we are all one. Seek then to create change not because a thing is wrong, but because it no longer makes an accurate statement of who you are."
- page 36
Jan 18"My purpose in creating you, My spiritual offspring, was for Me to know Myself as God. I have no way to do that save through you.
- page 26
Jan 19By your decisions you paint a portrait of Who You Are.
- page 154
Jan 20No one who has obtained mastery is dull. Unusual perhaps. Extraordinary, perhaps. But never dull.
- page 78
Jan 21Have you ever seen anything more perfect than a snowflake? Its intricacy, its design, its symmetry, its conformity to itself and originality from all else are all a mystery. You wonder at the miracle of this awesome display of nature. Yet if I can do this with a single snowflake, what think you I can do-have done-with the universe?
- page 43
Jan 22I will do nothing for you that you will not do for yourself. That is the law and the prophets.
- page 50
Jan 23You cannot experience yourself as what you are until you've encountered what you are not. This is the purpose of the theory of relativity, and all physical life. It is by that which you are not that you yourself are defined.
- page 27
Jan 24I suggest that it is your judgements which keep you from joy, and your expectations which make you unhappy.
- page 108
Jan 25Masters are those who have chosen only love. In every instance. In every moment. In every circumstance.
- page 57
Jan 26I invite you to a new form of communication with God. A two-way communication. In truth, it is you who have invited Me. For I have come to you, in this form, right now, to answer to your call.
- page 7
Jan 27You must first learn to honor and cherish and love your Self.
- page 126
Jan 28Every heart which earnestly asks, Which is the path to God? is shown.
- page 94
Jan 29The process of prayer becomes much easier when, rather than having to believe that God will always say yes to every request, one understands intuitively that the request itself is not neccessary.
- page 13
Jan 30When you have a thought that is not in alignment with your highest vision, change to a new thought, then and there. When you say a thing that is out of alignment with your grandest idea, make a note not to say something like that again.
- page 78
Jan 31You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion.

Feb 01God is the energy you call imagination. God is creation. God is first thought. And God is last experience. And God is everything in between.
- page 198
Feb 02Your teachers have told you of an angry God, a jealous God, a God who needs to be needed. And that is not God at all.
- page 114
Feb 03It is your first nature to be unconditionally loving.
- page 78
Feb 04I will do nothing for you that you will not do for your Self. That is the law of the prophets. The world is in the condition it is because of you, and the choices you have made-or failed to make. The Earth is in the shape its in because of you, and the choices you have made-or failed to make. Your own life is the way it is because of you, and the choices you have made-or failed to make.
- page 50
Feb 05Bless every person and condition, and give thanks Thus you affirm the perfection of God's creation-and show your faith in it. For nothing happens by accident in God's world, and there is no such thing as coincidence. Nor is the world buffeted by random choice, or something you call fate.
- page 114
Feb 06There is only what serves you, and what does not. The terms "right' and "wrong" are relative terms.
- page 162
Feb 07Allow each soul to walk its path.
- page 47
Feb 08There is nothing scary about life if you are not attached to results.
- page 110
Feb 09You are, have always been and will always be, a divine part of the divine whole, a member of the body. That is why the act of rejoining the Whole, or returning to God, is called remembrance. You actually choose to re-member Who You Really Are, or to join together with the various parts of you to experience the all of you-which is to say, all of me.
- page 28
Feb 10Your perception of ultimate reality is more limited than you thought, and Truth is more unlimited than you can imagine.
- page 197
Feb 11This is the second great illusion of man: that the outcome of life is in doubt. It is this doubt about ultimate outcome that has created your greatest enemy, which is fear. For if you doubt outcome, then you must doubt the creator - you must doubt God.
- page 14
Feb 12I have given you nothing shameful, least of all your body and its functions.
- page 208
Feb 13Ultimately all Spirit renounces what is not real, and nothing in the life you lead is real, save your relationship with Me.
- page 100
Feb 14At the critical juncture in all human relationships, there is only one question: What would love do now?
- page 130
Feb 15There are those that say you must overcome your desires. I say you must simply change them. The first practice seems like rigorous discipline, the second, a joyful exercise.
- page 159
Feb 16You're setting your sights too low. Broaden the scope of your horizons. Extend the depth of your vision. See more in you than you think there is to be seen.
- page 142
Feb 17You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always.
- page 87
Feb 18People assume that if God were to talk directly with you, God would not sound like the fella next door. page 68
Feb 19
Stop making judgments against yourself.
- page 71
Feb 20The world exists the way it exists-just as a snowflake exists the way it exists-quite by design. You have created it that way-just as you have created your life exactly as it is.
- page 49
Feb 21Your body, your mind and your soul (spirit) are one. In this, you are a microcosm of Me-the Divine All, the Holy Everything, the Sum and the Substance.
- page 197
Feb 22The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine who you want to be.
- page 21
Feb 23This is the root of every problem you experience in your life - you do not consider yourself worthy enough to be spoken to by God. Good heavens, how can you ever expect to hear my voice if you don't imagine yourself to be deserving enough to even be spoken to?
- page 162
Feb 24One day, if you have a great deal of courage, you will experience a world where making love is considered better than making war. On that day will you rejoice.
- page 109
Feb 25Life will "take off" for you . . . when you choose it to . . . you must believe the promise and live it. You must live the promise of God.
- page 75
Feb 26Stop questioning your motives (you do it incessantly) and let's get on with it.
- page 70
Feb 27You are evolving, you are becoming. And you are using your relationship with everything to decide what you are becoming. This is the job you came here to do. This is the joy of creating self. Of knowing self. Of becoming consciously, what you wish to be.
- page 126
Feb 28Come to me along the path of your heart, not through a journey of your mind. You will never find Me in your mind.
* * *
Mar 01You say it is difficult to walk the path of Christ,to follow the teachings of Buddha,to hold the light of Krishna,to be a master. Yet I tell you this: It is far more difficult to deny Who You Are than to accept it.
- page 86
Mar 02If humans do not change some of their Sponsoring Thoughts, humankind could doom itself to extinction
- page 164
Mar 03Worry is the activity of a mind which does not understand its connection with Me.
- page 188
Mar 04No prayer-and a prayer is nothing more than a *fervent* statement of what is so -goes unanswered.
- page 12
Mar 05It is when the going gets tough that you so often forget Who You Are, and the tools I have given you for creating the life that you would choose.
- page 116
Mar 06The job of the soul, of course, is to cause us to choose the grandeur - to select the best of who you are- without condemning that which you do not select.
- page 84
Mar 07If a thing is obviously right, do it.
- page 47
Mar 08Envy not success, nor pity failure, for you know not what is success or failure in the soul's reckoning.
- page 33
Mar 09Relationships are constantly challenging, constantly calling you to create, express and experience higher and higher aspects of yourself, grander and grander visions of yourself, ever more magnificent versions of yourself
- page 121
Mar 10Everlasting perspective helps you keep things in their proper light.
- page 116
Mar 11It's important now, it's time now, to change your mind about some things. That is what evolution is all about.
- page 168
Mar 12The person who has the "faith to move mountains" and dies six weeks later, has moved mountains for six weeks. That may have been enough for him.
- page 80
Mar 13There is perfection in the process, and all life arises out of choice. It is not appropriate to interfere with choice, nor to question it. It is particularly inappropriate to condemn it.
- page 47
Mar 14A society living in fear very often-actually, inevitably- produces in form that which it fears most.
- page 55
Mar 15Everything in life is holy.
- page 68
Mar 16Killing can never be justified as a means of expressing anger, releasing hostility, "righting a wrong", or punishing an offender.
- page 151
Mar 17By their decisions your societies have produced their self portraits. Are you please with those pictures? Are these the impressions you wish to make?
- page 154
Mar 18This is My plan for you. This is My ideal: that I should become realized through you.
- page 43
Mar 19You must live the promise of God.
- page 75
Mar 20You are in a partnership with God, we share an eternal covenant. My promise to you is to always give you what you ask. Your promise is to ask.
- page 73
Mar 21I have established Laws in the universe that make it possible for you to have - to create - exactly what you choose. These Laws cannot be violated, nor can they be ignored.
- page 73
Mar 22You will never disserve your relationship - nor anyone - by seeing more in another than they are showing you. For there is more there. Much more. It is only their fear that stops them from showing you.
- page 142
Mar 23Health will improve almost at once when worrying ends.
- page 188
Mar 24If you think your life is about doingness, you do not understand what you are about. Your soul doesn't care what you do for a living-and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you're being while you're doing whatever you're doing.
- page 170
Mar 25The question is not, why start off on such a path? You have already started off. You did so with the first beat of your heart. The question is: Do I wish to walk this path consciously or unconsciously?
- page 156
Mar 26So long as you entertain the notion that there is something or someone else out there "doing it" to you, you disempower yourself to do anything about it.
- page 36
Mar 27Do not feel abandoned. I am always with you.
- page 210
Mar 28Desire is the beginning of all creation. It is first thought. It is a grand feeling within the soul. It is God, choosing what next to create.
- page 65
Mar 29You don't have a clear focus; you're not really sure what's true for you. And the universe is just a big Xerox machine. It simply produces multiple copies of your thoughts. Now there's only one way to change all that. You have to change your thought about it.
- page 163
Mar 30It might not be a bad goal in your life to know the highest part of your Self, and to stay centered in that.
- page 126
Mar 31Expectations ruin relationships.
* * *
Apr 01Do you imagine that God does not enjoy a good joke? Is it your knowing that God is without humor? I tell you, God invented humor.
- page 60
Apr 02Your happy destiny is unavoidable. You cannot not be "saved". There is no hell except NOT knowing this.
- page 115
Apr 03The Master knows intuitively that passion is the path. It is the way to self-realization. Even in earthly terms it can be fairly said that if you have a passion for nothing, you have no life at all.
- page 102
Apr 04You have no obligation in relationship. You have only opportunity. Opportunity, not obligation, is the cornerstone of religion, the basis of spirituality. So long as you see it the other way around, you will have missed the point.
- page 137
Apr 05You are wont to rush to judgement, to call a thing "wrong" or "bad" or "not enough", rather than to bless what you do not choose.
- page 84
Apr 06You are in the process of experiencing yourself by creating yourself anew in every single moment. As am I through You.
- page 75
Apr 07Sometimes, when a person is really deeply asleep, you have to shake him a little.
- page 191
Apr 08There is no need to recriminate yourself. Simply notice what you've been choosing and choose again.
- page119
Apr 09Every prayer-every thought, every feeling, every statement-is creative. To the extent that it is fervently held as truth, to that degree will it be made manifest in your experience.
- page 12
Apr 10You can choose to be a person who has resulted simply from what has happened, or from what you have chosen to be and do about what has happened.
- page 122
Apr 11Call not a thing calamity, nor joyous event, until you decide, or witness, how it is used.
- page 33
Apr 12Your soul seeks the highest feeling. It seeks to experieince - to be - perfect love.
- page 85
Apr 13The reason that the true Master does not complain is that the true Master is not suffering, but simply experiencing a set of circumstances that you would call insufferable.
- page 107
Apr 14You have nothing to learn about reltionships. You have only to demonstrate what you already know.
- page 121
Apr 15True Masters are those who have chosen to make a life, rather than a living.
- page 176
Apr 16God is in the sadness and in laughter. In the bitter and the sweet.
- page 60
Apr 17There are those who say that to know God you must overcome all earthly passions. Yet to understand and accept them is enough. What you resist persists. What you look at disappears.
- page 100
Apr 18I will not leave you, I cannot leave you, for you are My creation and My product, My daughter and My son, My purpose and My . . . Self. Call on me, therefore, whereever and whenever you are separate from the peace that I am.
- page 211
Apr 19Fear is the opposite of everything you are.
- page 188
Apr 20You cannot lie to yourself. Your mind knows the truth of your thoughts.
- page 11
Apr 21This is both the goal and the glory of God; that His subjects shall be no more, and that all shall know God not as the unattainable, but as the unaviodable.
- page 115
Apr 22When you achieve certain states of being over a long period of time, success in what you are doing in the world is very difficult to aviod.
- page 176
Apr 23There is no such thing as karmic debt.
- page 204
Apr 24Sex is an extraordinary expression of love -love of another, love of self, love of life. You ought therefore love it!
- page
Apr 25Do not dismantle the house, but look at each brick, and replace those which appear broken, which no longer support the structure.
- page 62
Apr 26In the moment of your total knowing, you, too, will feel as I do always: totally joyful, loving, accepting, blessing and grateful. These are the Five Attitudes of God.
- page 65
Apr 27Only when you say, "I did this" can you find the power to change it
- page 36
Apr 28You have a right to your joy; Seek it! Find it!
- page 186
Apr 29Are you not being allowed to experience everything? The tears, the joy, the pain, the gladness, the exaltation, the massive depression, the win, the lose. the draw? What more is there?
- page 158
Apr 30My teachers have all come with the same message. Not "I am holier than thou," but "you are as holy as am I".

May 01The purpose of relationships is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.
- page 223
May 02Your world would not be in its present condition were you to have simply listened to your experience. The result of your not listening to your experience is that you keep reliving it, over and over again.
- page 5
May 03If you think you are right about everything, who needs to tak with God?
- page 7
May 04Why not simply acknowledge the truth when you hear it, and move towards it?
- page 119
May 05My messages will come in a hundred forms, at a thousand moments, across a million years. You cannot ignore them once truly heard.
- page 6
May 06There is a devine purpose behind everything, and therefore a divine presence in everything.
- page 60
May 07Some people don't like to be awakened. Most do not. Most would rather sleep.
- page 191
May 08You can't go wrong. It's not part of the plan. There's no way not to get where you are going. There's no way to miss your destination. If God is your target, you're in luck, because God is so big, you can't miss.
- page 88
May 09Do not condemn, therefore, all that you would call bad in the world. Rather, ask yourself, what about this have you judged bad, and what, if anything, you wish to do to change it.
- page 32
May 10If you are God's equal that means nothing is being done to you-and all things are created by you. There can be no ore victims and no more villians- only outcomes of your thoughts about a thing.
- page 75
May 11Each circumstance is a gift, and in each experieince is hidden a treasure.
- page 33
May 12The person who has the "faith to move mountains," and dies six weeks later, has moved mountain for six weeks. That may have been enough for him.
- page 80
May 13Love is the ultimate reality. It is the only. The all. The feeling of love is your experience of God.
- page 56
May 14Do you want your life to truly take off? Then change your idea about it. About you. Think, speak and act as the God you are.
- page 76
May 15Listen to me in the truth of your soul. Listen to me in the feelings in your heart. Listen to me in the quiet of your mind.
- page 220
May 16Well, if GOd can't inspire you, who in hell can?
- page 88
May 17I have never set down a "right" or "wrong" a "do" or a "dont". To do so would be to strip you completely of your greatest gift - the opportunity to do as you please, and experience the results of that.
- page 39
May 18We dare not solve all the problems, or there will be nothing left for us to do.
- page 48
May 19Go first to your Highest Thought about yourself. Imagine the you that you would be if you lived that thought every day.
- page 77
May 20Judge not, and neither condemn, for you know not why a thing occurs, nor to what end.
- page 38
May 21The work of the soul is to wake yourself up. The work of God is to wake everybody else up.
- page 342
May 22If you choose evolution-the evolution of your soul-you wont produce that by the wordly activities of your body.
- page 170
May 23For goodness' sake, don't destroy sexual innocence and pleasure and the purity of the fun, the joy, by misusing sex. Dont use it for power or hidden purpose, for ego gratification or domination, or any purose other than the purest jou and the highest ecstacy, given and shared - which is love.
- page 206
May 24You are the creator of your reality, and life can show up no other way for you than that way in which you think it will.
- page 52
May 25There is nothing you cannot be. There is nothing you cannot do. There is nothing you cannot have. What other kind of promise would you have God make? Would you believe me if I promised you less?
- page 44
May 26When you choose the action love sponsors, then will you do more than survive, then will you do more than win, then will you do more than succeed. Then will you experience the full glory of Who You Really Are, and who you can be.
- page 19
May 27Do me a favor and don't try to contain Me. By the way, do yourself the same favor.
- page 88
May 28You have come here to work out an individual plan for your own salvation. Yet salvation does not mean saving yourself from the snares of the devil. There is no such thing as the devil, and hell does not exist. You are saving yourself from the oblivion of nonrealization
- page 51
May 29Every one of My messengers has been defiled Far from gaining glory, they have gained nothing but heartache. Are you willing? Does your heart ache to tell the truth about Me?
- page 145
May 30I gave to each of the countless parts of Me (to all of my spirit children) the same power to create which I have as the whole.
- page 25
May 31It is your first nature to be unconditionally loving. It is your second nature to choose to express your first nature, your true nature, consciously.

Jun 01Words are merely utterances: noises that stand for feelings, thoughts, and experieince. They are symbols. Signs. Insignias. They are not Truth. They are not the real thing.
- page 4
Jun 02Most people enter into relationships with an eye toward what they can get out of them, rather that what they can put into them.
- page 122
Jun 03Feeling guilty is a learned response.
- page 119
Jun 04Fear is the other end of love. It is the primal polarity.
- page 57
Jun 05If you believe that God is some omnipotent Being who hears all prayers, says "yes" to some, "no" to others, and "maybe, but not now" to the rest, you are mistaken. By what rule of thumb would God decide?
- page 13
Jun 06I do not communicate by words alone. In fact, rarely do I do so. My most common form of communication is through feeling.
- page 3
Jun 07The world is in the condition it's in because the world is full of sleepwalkers.
- page 191
Jun 08I will bring you the exact right thougts, words or feelings, at any given moment, suited preciesly to the purpose at hand.
- page 6
Jun 09I tell you this: you are your own rule-maker. You set the guidelines. And you decide how well you have done; how well you are doing.
- page 41
Jun 10When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there.
- page 11
Jun 11Your first relationship must be with yourself.
- page 126
Jun 12For thousands of years people have disbelieved the promises of God for the most extraordinary reason: they were too good to be true.
- page 44
Jun 13Begin at once to imagine life the way you want it to be- and move into that. Check every thought, word and action that does not fall into harmony with that. Move away from those.
- page 78
Jun 14All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions- fear or love.
- page 15
Jun 15It is not a question of learning, but of remembering.
- page 43
Jun 16
You can define present conditions and circumstances as what they truly are: temporary and temporal.
- page 116
Jun 17I want for you what you want for you. Nothng more, nothing less. I don't sit here and make a judgement, request by request, whether something should be granted you. My law is the law of cause and effect, not the law of "we'll see".
- page 117
Jun 18From the highest mountain it has been shouted, in the lowest pure its whisper has been heard. Through the corridors of all human experience has this Truth been echoed. Love is the answer.
- page 58
Jun 19Worry is just about the worst form of mental activity there is . . . Worry is pointless. It is waisted mental energy.
- page 188
Jun 20It is not in the action of another, but in your re-action, that your salvation will be found.
- page 127
Jun 21I will speak to you if you will listen. I will come to you of you will invite Me. I will show you then that I have always been there. All ways.
- page 58
Jun 22I tell you, you can speak to Me as you would speak with your best friend.
- page 60
Jun 23Not to decide is to decide
- page 50
Jun 24Marriage is a sacrament. But not because of its sacred obligations. Rather, because of its unequaled opportunity.
- page 138
Jun 25The world will need many voices to speak the words of truth and healing for which millions long. The world will need many hearts joined together in the work of the soul, and prepared to do the work of God. Can you honestly claim that you are not aware of this?
- page 144
Jun 26Hear Me, everywhere. Whenever you have a question, simply know that I have answereed it already. Then open your eyes in your world.
- page 210
Jun 27There are no coincidences in the universe
- page 58
Jun 28All conditions are temporary.
- page 79
Jun 29So what is your intention now? Do you intend to prove your theory that life seldom brings you what you choose? Or do you intend to demonstrate Who You Are and Who I Am?
- page 119
Jun 30I tell you there is no such experience after death as you have constructed in your fear-based theologies.
* * *
Jul 01I do not make a judgement about the creations that you conjure. I simply empower you to conjure more-and more and more and more.
- page 118
Jul 02Your saying you want a thing only works to produce that precise experience-wanting-in your reality. The correct prayer is therefore never a prayer of supplication, but a prayer of gratitude.
- page 11
Jul 03Are you going to be in a place called fear, or in a place called love? Where are you-and where are you coming from-as you encounter life?
- page 172
Jul 04How can you be a creative being if I am dictating what you shall be, do and have? My joy is in your freedom, not your compliance.
- page 166
Jul 05When life is lived from a standpoint of damage control or optimum advantage, the true benefit of life is forfeited. The opportunity is lost. The chance is missed. For a life lived thusly is a life lived from fear.
- page 130
Jul 06Do you not see that I could just as easily work through your imagination as anything else?
- page 6
Jul 07Obedience is not creation, and thus can never produce salvation. Obedience is a response, while creation is pure choice, undictated, unrequired.
- page 175
Jul 08When you are in your God space, you know and understand that all you are now experiencing is temporary. I tell you that heaven and earth shall pass away, but you shall not.
- page 116
Jul 09Bring to the space of your experience the highest and best idea you ever had about you.
- page 66
Jul 10"Mine is always your Highest Thought, your Clearest Word, your Grandest Feeling. Anything less is from another source."
- page 4
Jul 11I have heard the crying of your heart. I have seen the searching of your soul.
- page 58
Jul 12No one will judge you ever, for why, and how, could God judge God's own creation and call it bad?
- page 14
Jul 13You have brought your Self to the relative world so that you might have the tools with which to know and experience Who You Really Are. Who You Are is who you create yourself to be in relationship to all the rest of it.
- page 126
Jul 14Thoughts rooted in fear will produce one kind of manifestation on the physical plane, thoughts rooted in love will produce another. The master are those who have chosen only love. In every instant. In every moment. In every circumstance.
- page 57
Jul 15Nothing happens to you or through you that is not for your own highest good.
- page 174
Jul 16Belief in God produces belief in God's greatest gift - unconditional love - and God's greatest promise -unlimited potential.
- page 44
Jul 17There are a million aspects to Me. A billion. A trillion. You see? There is the profane and the profound, the lesser and the larger, the hollow and the holy, the ghastly and the Godly.
- page 173
Jul 18This is the goal of your soul, this is its purpose: to fully realize itself while in the body; to become the embodiment of all that it really is.
- page 43
Jul 19Do not what you are obliged to do, but what you have an opportunity to do.
- page 145
Jul 20The soul leads you to the right and perfect opportunities for you to experience exactly what you had planned to experience. What you actually experience is up to you.
- page 174
Jul 21Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.
- page 19
Jul 22The people who make a living doing what they love are the people who insist on doing so.
- page 169
Jul 23Suffering has nothing to do with events, but with one's reaction to them. What's happening is merely what's happening. How you feel about it is another matter.
- page 105
Jul 24The actions of the body were meant to be reflections of a state of being, not attempts to attain a state of being.
- page 185
Jul 25The way to reduce the pain which you associate with earthly experiences and events-both yours and those of others-is to change the way you behold them. You cannot change the outer event, so you must change the inner experience.
- page 3
Jul 26We make real that to which we pay attention.
- page 107
Jul 27Do you imagine this is too big a problem for Me to solve? I see, so it's a matter of faith. You don't question My ability, you merely doubt My desire.
- page 117
Jul 28The voice within is the loudest voice with which I speak, because it is the closest to you. It is the voice which tells you whether everything else is true or false, right or wrong, good or bad as you have defined it. It is the radar that sets the course, steers the ship, guides the journey if you but let it.
- page 20
Jul 29The purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to see "show up", not what part of another you can capture and hold.
- page 122
Jul 30When you have a thought that is not in alignment with your higher vision, change to a new thought, then and there. When you say a thing which is out of alignment with your grandest idea, make a note not to say something like that again. When you do a thing which is misaligned with your best intention, decide to make that the last time.
- page 78
Jul 31What your body is doing is a reflection of what your life is about.

Aug 01You are not on this planet to produce anything with your body. You are on this planet to produce something with your soul. Your body is simply and merely the tool of your soul.
- page 172
Aug 02The more you are, the more you can become, and the more you can become, the more you can yet be.
- page 20
Aug 03If you want to know what's true for you about something, look to how you are feeling about it. Feelings are sometimes difficult to discover-and often even more difficult to acknowledge. Yet hidden in your deepest feelings is your highest truth.
- page 3
Aug 04You'll get as many chances as you want and need. You can come back again and again and again. If you do get to the next step, if you evolve to the next level, it's because you want to, not because you have to.
- page 149
Aug 05I will continue sending you the same messages over and over again, throughout the millennia and to whatever corner of the universe you occupy. Endlessly will I send you My messages, until you have received them and held them close, calling them your own.
- page 5
Aug 06It takes great courage to announce oneself as a man of God. You understand, the world will much more readily accept you as virtually anything else.
- page 145
Aug 07Next time, decide to act before you think.
- page 168
Aug 08In the true order of things one does not do something in order to be happy-one is happy, and, hence, does something.
- page 185
Aug 09Do you think there is a word I have not heard? A sight I have not seen? A sound I do not know? Is it your thought that I despise some of these, while I love others? I tell you, I despise nothing. None of it is repulsive to Me. It is life, and life is a gift; the unspeakable treasure; the holy of [holy].
- page 60
Aug 10All the "bad" things that happen are of your choosing. The mistake is not in chooosing them, but in calling them bad.
- page 36
Aug 11The function of the soul is to indicate its desire, not impose it.
- page 175
Aug 12Your life work is a statement of Who You Are. If it is not, then why are you doing it?
- page 186
Aug 13You cannot experience yourself as what you are until you've encountered what you are not.
- page 27
Aug 14Seek to change those things-or support others who are changing those things-which no longer reflect your highest sense of Who You Are.
- page 38
Aug 15Doing is a function of the body. Being is a function of the soul.
- page 170
Aug 16If you don't like what you've just created, choose again. My job, as God, is to always give you that opportunity.
- page 118
Aug 17There is only one purpose for all of life, and that is for you and all that lives to experience fullest glory. Everything else you say, think or do is attendant to that function.
- page 20
Aug 18If you want guarantees in life, then you don't want life. You want rehearsals for a script that's already been written.
- page 141
Aug 19There is no coincidence, and nothing happens "by accident".
- page 52
Aug 20You misunderstand your power. I tell you this: Your life proceeds out of your intentions for it.
- page 118
Aug 21The soul conceives, the mind creates, the body experiences. The circle is complete. The soul then knows itself in its own experience.
- page 196
Aug 22There's a difference between being and doing, and most people have placed their emphasis on the latter.
- page 196
Aug 23Now, having seen the differences between where you are and where you want to be, begin to change-consciously change-your thoughts, words, and actions to match your grandest vision
- page 77
Aug 24Move into communion with the souls of others, and their purpose, their intention, will be clear to you.
- page 47
Aug 25The moral codes, religious constrictions, social taboos and emotional conventions you have placed around sex have made it virtually impossible for you to celebrate your being
- page 208
Aug 26You may think this is easy, this Be Who You Really Are business, but it's the most challenging thing you'll ever do in your life
- page 148
Aug 27There is only one reason to do anything: as a statement to the universe of Who You Are.
- page 36
Aug 28Remember to exercise extreme judgement regarding what you call "right" or "wrong".
- page 47
Aug 29Are you willing to endure the ridicule of your fellow human beings? Are you prepared to give up glory on Earth for the greater glory of the soul fully realized?
- page 145
Aug 30The spirit in you seeks that grand moment when you have conscious awareness of its wishes, and join in joyful oneness with them.
- page 174
Aug 31You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine who you want to be.
* * *
Sep 01
You call a life of complete freedom "spiritual anarchy". I call it God's great promise. It is only within the context of the promise that God's great plan can be completed.
- page 137
Sep 02If then revelation is requested, it cannot be had, for the act of asking is a statement that it is not there.
- page 10
Sep 03The act of resisting something is the act of granting it life . . . . the more you resist, the more you make it real - whatever it is you are resisting.
- page 102
Sep 04You cannot disembark from the journey. You embarked before you were born. Your birth is simply a sign that the journey has begun.
- page 156
Sep 05The Highest Thought is always that thought which contains joy. The Clearest Words are those words which contain truth. The Grandest Feeling is that feeling which you call love.
- page 5
Sep 06All people are special, and all moments are golden. There is no person, and there is no time one more special than another.
- page 7
Sep 07You always get what you create, and you are always creating.
- page 118
Sep 08You cannot know God until you stop telling yourself that you already know God. You cannot hear God until you stop thinking that you've already heard God.
- page 8
Sep 09If you knew Who You Are-that you are the most magnificent, the most remarkable, the most splendid being God has ever created-you would never fear. For who could reject such wondrous magnificence?
- page 16
Sep 10When the body, mind and soul create together, in harmony, and in unity, God is made of flesh. Then does the soul know itself in its own experience. Then do the heavens rejoice.
- page 175
Sep 11Judge not that about which you feel passionate. Simply notice it, then see if it serves you, given who and what you wish to be.
- page 100
Sep 12Admit honestly to yourself and to another exactly how you are feeling.
- page 128
Sep 13Inquire within, rather than without, asking: "What part of my Self do I wish to experience now in the face of this calamity? What aspect of being do I choose to call forth?"
- page 32
Sep 14You have forgotten what it was like to be loved without condition. You do not remember the experience of the love of God. And so you try to imagine what God's love must be like, based on what you see of love in the world.
- page 17
Sep 15The intention is for you not to fail.
- page 149
Sep 16
Some events you produce willfully, and some events you draw to you-more or less unconsciously. Some events are written off to "fate". Yet even "fate" can be the acronym for "from all thoughts everywhere." In other words, the consciousness of the planet.

Sep 17The answer is the answer you cannot hear-for it leaves you without guidelines and renders null and void every agreement in the moment you make it. The answer is: You have no obligation. Neither in relationship, not in all of life.
- page 135
Sep 18Seek not to make of your love a glue that binds, but rather a magnet that first attracts, then turns around and repels, lest those who are attracted begin to believe they must stick to you to survive.
- page
Sep 19I have created you - blessed you - in the image and likeness of Me.
- page 95
Sep 20The most difficult thing for people to do is to hear their own soul. (Notice that so few people do)
- page 81
Sep 21Sex is joy, and many of you have made sex everything else but.
- page 207
Sep 22You create, collectively and individually, the life and times you are experiencing, for the soul purpose of evolving.
- page 37
Sep 23That which you fear strongly you will experience.
- page 54
Sep 24I truly want what you truly want - nothing different and nothing more. Don't you see that is my greatest gift to you?
- page 166
Sep 25See the Divine in a baby who needs changing at 3 a.m. . . in a bill that needs paying by the first of the month. Recognize the hand of God in the illness that takes a spouse, the job that's lost, the child's fever, the parent's pain. Now we are talking saintliness.
- page 115
Sep 26If, now, there is something you choose to experience in your life, do not "want it" -- choose it.
- page 180
Sep 27You are already a god. You simply do not know it.
- page 202
Sep 28Choosing to be God-like does not mean that you choose to be a martyr. And it certainly does not mean you choose to be a victim.
- page 134
Sep 29You cannot create a thing - not a thought, an object, an event - no experience of any kind - which is outside of God's plan.
- page 61
Sep 30I understand your fatigue. I know you are tired of the struggle. Yet I tell you this: When you follow Me the struggle disappears.
* * *
Oct 01You can choose to be a person who has resulted simply from what has happened, or from what you've chosen to be and do about what has happened.
- page 122
Oct 02You cannot be ill without some level causing yourself to be, and you can be well again in a moment by simple deciding to be.
- page 32
Oct 03In the moment you pledge your highest love, you greet your greatest fear.
- page 16
Oct 04I talk to everyone. All the time. The question is not to whom do I talk but who listens?
- page 3
Oct 05Listen to your feelings. Listen to your highest thoughts. Listen to your experience. Whenever any of these differ from what you've been told by your teachers, or read in your books, forget the words. Words are the least reliable purveyor of Truth.
- page 8
Oct 06It is your soul's only desire to turn its grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience.
- page 22
Oct 07By that which you call evil do you define yourself-and by that which you call good. The biggest evil would therefore be to declare nothing evil at all.
- page 22
Oct 08When human love relationships fail, they fail because they were entered into for the wrong reason.
- page 122
Oct 09A Master blesses calamity, for the Master knows that from the seeds of disaster (and all experience) comes the growth of self. And the Master's . . . life purpose is always growth.
- page 129
Oct 10Life may more than once call upon you to prove Who You Are by demonstrating an aspect of Who You Are Not.
- page 133
Oct 11All of you are special.
- page 143
Oct 12You must honor your feelings. For honoring your feelings means honoring your Self.
- page 128
Oct 13A practicing Master does not speak of suffering simply because a Master practicing clearly understands the power of the Word-and so chooses to simply not say a word about it.
- page 107
Oct 14The soul is very clear that its purpose is evolution. This is its sole purpose - and its soul purpose. It is not concerned with the achievements of the body or the development of the mind. These are all meaningless to the soul.
- page 82
Oct 15You cannot move away from something, because it will chase you all over hell and back. Therefore, resist not temptation - but simply turn from it.
- page 104
Oct 16Be watchful of the choices of others, but not judgmental. Know that their choice is perfect for them in this moment now - yet stand ready to assist them should the moment come when they seek a newer choice, a different choice - a higher choice.
- page 47
Oct 17You are a three-fold being. You consist of body, mind and spirit. You could also call these the physical, the nonphysical and the metaphysical. This is the Holy Trinity, and it has been called by many names.
- page 73
Oct 18The truth is relentless. It won't leave you alone. It keeps creeping up on you from every side, showing you what's really so.
- page 140
Oct 19If you do not go within, you go without.
- page 44
Oct 20It is a great challenge, this path of the householder. There are many distractions, many wordily concerns. The aesthetic is bothered by none of these. He is brought his bread and water, and given his humble mat on which to lie, and he can devote his every hour to prayer, meditation, and contemplation of the divine. How easy to see the divine under such circumstances! How simple a task! Ah, but give one a spouse and children!
- page 115
Oct 21Some of you are walking in wakefulness, and some of you are sleepwalking. Yet all of you are creating your own reality-creating, not discovering.
- page 115
Oct 22I have given you the tools with which to respond and react to events in a way which reduces-pain, but you have not used them
- page 105
Oct 23Look to your experience to find your truth.
- page 109
Oct 24The point of life is not to get anywhere-it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there.
- page 104
Oct 25The Laws are very simple:
1) thought is creative
2) fear attracts like energy
3) love is all there is
- page 56
Oct 26There is no such thing as an incorrect path-for on this journey you cannot "not get" where you are going. It is simply a matter of speed-merely a question of when you will get there.
- page 104
Oct 27The word of God was not a commandment, but a covenant.
- page 95
Oct 28What you open your eyes and look at disappears. That is, ceases to hold its illusory form.
- page 102
Oct 29All of your life you think you are your body. Some of the time you think you are your mind. It is at the time of your death that you find out Who You Really Are.
- page 81
Oct 30The grandest teaching of Christ was not that you shall have everlasting life-but that you do.
- page 52
Oct 31A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but one who creates the most leaders.

Nov 01The realm of the relative was created in order that I might experience My Self. This does not make the realm of the relative real. It is a created reality you and I have devised.
- page 56
Nov 02If you cannot depend on God's love to always be there, on whose love can you depend?
- page 16
Nov 03Feeling is the language of the soul.
- page 3
Nov 04What you fear most is what will most plaque you. Fear will draw it to you like a magnet.
- page 56
Nov 05Joy, truth, love. These three are interchangeable, and one always leads to the other. It matters not in which order they are placed.
- page 5
Nov 06My purpose will not be thwarted, nor My will be ignored. You will get the message. Sooner or later.
- page 5
Nov 07What you resist persists.
- page 102
Nov 08Do you imagine that a human soul encounters life challenges - whatever they may be - by accident? Is this your imagining?
- page 45
Nov 09Many people choose to believe that God communicates in special ways and only with special people. This removes the mass of people from responsibility for hearing My message . . . and allows them to take someone else's word for everything.
- page 6
Nov 10The original wisdom surrounding suffering in silence has become so perverted that now many believe (and several religions actually teach) that suffering is good, and joy is bad.
- page 108
Nov 11Words may help you understand something. Experience allows you to know it.
- page 4
Nov 12Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static. Which way a thing changes depends on you.
- page 79
Nov 13From the beginning all man has ever wanted is to love and be loved. And from the beginning of time man has done everything in his power to make it impossible to do that.
- page 208
Nov 14You can not be what you do not know your Self to be.
- page 201
Nov 15You are telling me that you haven't always gotten what you wanted. Yet I am here to tell you that you've always gotten what you called forth. Your life is always a result of your thoughts about it.
- page 118
Nov 16You may do as you wish without fear of retribution. It may serve you, however, to be aware of consequences. Consequences are results. Natural outcomes. These are not at all the same as retributions or punishments.
- page 42
Nov 17This is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment: You think you already understand how it is. So you agree with everything that falls into the paradigm of your understanding, and reject everything which does not. And this you call learning.
- page 195
Nov 18Nothing occurs in your life-nothing-which is not first a thought. Thoughts are like magnets, drawing effects to you.
- page 188
Nov 19Everyone can love everything the moment they understand what they are doing and why.
- page 186
Nov 20A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most others to have knowledge.
- page 115
Nov 21How can you think of wasting a moment doing something for a living that you don't like to do? What kind of living is that? That is not a living, that is a dying!
- page 185
Nov 22Each to his own , without judgement - that is the motto.
- page 206
Nov 23Begin by being still. Quiet the outer world, so that the inner world might bring you sight.
- page 44
Nov 24There is nothing you can't have if you choose it. Even before you ask, I will have given it to you.
- page 117
Nov 25When body, mind and soul create together, in harmony and in unity, God is made flesh. Then does the soul know itself in its own experience. Then do the heavens rejoice.
- page 175
Nov 26The Holy Spirit will not force His will upon your soul. It is outside of the nature of the spirit to do so, and thus, quite literally, impossible.
- page 175
Nov 27Keep on deciding what you want to become in the next highest version of your Self. Keep on working toward that. This is God Work we're up to, You and I, so keep on!
- page 158
Nov 28There is no limit to what you can become.
- page 201
Nov 29There are those who say that I have given you free will, yet these same people claim that if you do not obey Me, I will send you to hell. What kind of free will is that?
- page 39
Nov 30Now is the time to go to your God space more than ever.

Dec 01If the entity which is you is to create, and thus know, who it really is, it must be through an act of conscious volition, not an act of unconscious obedience.
- page 175
Dec 02Thankfulness is the most powerful statement to God. an affirmation that even before you ask, I have answered. Therefore, never supplicate, appreciate. page 11
Dec 03
I tell you this: I am performing a miracle right now.
- page 69
Dec 04Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either fear love or fear. There is no other human emotion.
- page 15
Dec 05Be patient. You are gaining wisdom.
- page 158
Dec 06I have given you a free will-the power to do as you choose-and I will never take that away from you.
- page 5
Dec 07Go ahead and do what you really love to do! Do nothing else!
- page 185
Dec 08All of your holy scriptures-of every religious persuasion and tradition-contain the clear admonition: Fear not. Do you think this is by accident?
- page 54
Dec 09Life's irony is that as soon as world goods and world success are of no concern to you, the way is open for them to flow to you.
- page 176
Dec 10Are you going to be in a place called fear, or in a place called love? Where are you-and where are you coming from-as you encounter life?
- page 172
Dec 11Turn toward Me and away from anything unlike Me.
- page 104
Dec 12Bless every person and condition, and give thanks. Thus you affirm the perfection of God's creation-and show your faith in it.
- page 46
Dec 13Ultimately all Spirit renounces what is not real, and nothing in the life you lead is real, save your relationship with Me.
- page 100
Dec 14The First Law is that you can be , do and have whatever you can imagine. The Second Law is that you attract what you fear.
- page 54
Dec 15Suffering has nothing to do with events, but with one's reactions to them.
- page 105
Dec 16The soul's decision precedes the body's action in a highly conscious person.
- page 185
Dec 17In seeking to be Me, the soul has a grand job ahead of it; an enormous menu of beingness from which to choose. And that is what it is doing in this moment now.
- page 173
Dec 18Religion is your attempt to speak of the unspeakable. It does not do a very good job.
- page 195
Dec 19Nothing holy has even been achieved through denial. Yet desires change as ever larger realities are glimpsed.
- page 206
Dec 20What you actually experience is up to you. It could be what you planned to experience, or it could be something else, depending upon what you choose. page 174
Dec 21
You have this idea that God shows up in only one way in life. That's a very dangerous idea. It stops you from seeing God all over.
- page 59
Dec 22If a snowflake is utterly perfect in its design, do you not think the same could be said about something as magnificent as your life?
- page 46
Dec 23No one does anything he doesn't want to do.
- page 186
Dec 24You are peace and joy and light.
- page 86
Dec 25I have come to you, in this form, right now, in answer to your call.
- page 7
Dec 26The supreme irony here is that you have all placed so much importance on the Word of God, and so little on the experience.
- page 4
Dec 27You are, always and forever, in the moment of pure creation.
- page 104
Dec 28You and sadness do mix (they are, in fact, the same thing), and many of you think that they do not.
- page 207
Dec 29You must first see yourself as worthy before you can see another as worthy. You must first see yourself as blessed before you can see another as blessed. You must first know your Self to be holy before you can acknowledge holiness in another.
- page 126
Dec 30My Truth-and your surest help in time of need-is as awesome as the night sky, and as simply, incontrovertibly, trustful as a baby's gurgles. It is as loud as a pounding heartbeat-and as quiet as a breath taken in unity with Me.
- page 210
Dec 31You want bells and whistles? I'll see what I can arrange.
