[quote Richard Cor de Lyon]There is no death… only a change of FORM.

I agree lavoisier had shown that matter can move around from one form to another, yet it will not burst in and out of existence. this was one of the prime discoveries of the 1700s the universe is a fixed amount of mass, it will let stars grow and explode, it will let mountains form and collide and be weathered away by wind and ice, it will let metals rust and crumble. yet throughout this the total amount of mass in the universe will never alter; not even to the millionth of an ounce; not even if you wait for all eternity. if a city were to be weighed, and then broken by siege, and its buildings burned by fire - if all the smoke and ash and broken ramparts and bricks werw collected and weighed, there would be no change in the original weight. nothing would have truly vanished, not even the weight of the smallest speck of dust

We can all spend our lives going about doing good. Every time you meet a person, think of some encouraging thing to say - a kind word, a helpful suggestion, an expression of admiration. Every time you come into a situation, think of some good thing to bring - a thoughtful gift, a considerate attitude, a helping hand.
There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. That criterion is, Have they brought you inner peace? If they have not, there is something wrong with them - so keep trying.
If you love people enough, they will respond lovingly. If I offend people, I blame myself, for I know that if my conduct had been correct, they would not have been offended, even though they did not agree with me. “Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.”
To those who feel depressed, I would say: Try keeping your surroundings full of beautiful music and lovely flowers. Try reading and memorizing thoughts that inspire. Try making a list of all the things you have to be thankful for. If there is some good thing that you have always wanted to do, start doing it. Make a meaningful schedule for yourself and keep to that schedule.
Although others may feel sorry for you, never feel sorry for yourself - it has a deadly effect on spiritual well-being. Recognize all problems, no matter how difficult, as opportunities for spiritual growth, and make the most of these opportunities.
From all the things you read and from all the people you meet, take what is good - what you own ‘Inner Teacher’ tells you is for you - and leave the rest. For guidance and for truth, it is much better to look to the Source through your own ‘Inner Teacher’ than to look to people or books. Books and people can merely inspire you. Unless they awaken something within you, nothing worthwhile has been accomplished.
No one is truly free who is still attached to material things, or to places, or to people. We must be able to use things when we need them and then relinquish them without regret when they have outlived their usefulness.
If you want to teach people, young or old, you must start where they are - at their level of understanding. If you see that they are already beyond your level of understanding, let them teach you. Since steps toward spiritual advancement are taken in such varied order, most of us can teach one another.
Physical violence can end even before we have learned the way of love, but psychological violence will continue until we do. Only outer peace can be had through law. The way to inner peace is through love.
Concentrate on giving so that you may open yourself to receiving. Concentrate on living according to the light you have, so that you may open yourself to more light.
After you have found inner peace, spiritual growth takes place harmoniously because you - now governed by the higher self - will and do not need to be pushed into it.
There is always a way to do right!
Of course I trust the Law of Love! Since the universe operates in accordance with the Law of Love, how could I trust anything else?
For Light I go directly to the Source of Light, not to any of the reflections. Also I make it possible for more Light to come to me by living up to the highest Light I have. You cannot mistake Light coming from the Source, for it comes with complete understanding so that you can explain and discuss it.
Judging others will avail you nothing and injure you spiritually. Only if you can inspire others to judge themselves will anything worthwhile have been accomplished.
You cannot change anyone except yourself. After you have become an example, you can inspire others to change themselves.
In a conflict situation you must be thinking of a solution which is fair to all concerned, instead of a solution which is of advantage to you. Only a solution which is fair to all concerned can be workable in the long run.
Your motives must be good if your work is to have a good effect.
