I am now in the Presence of pure Being, 
And immersed in the Holy Spirit of Life, Love and Wisdom.

I acknowledge Your Presence and Your Power, O’ Blessed Spirit;
In Your divine wisdom now erase my mortal limitations,
And from Your pure substance of love, bring into manifestation my world,
According to Your Perfect law. 
 
Charles Fillmore  


True prosperity is not making money, or putting out good or developing property. It is determining what our individual soul requires in order to cause it to unfold more and more of God; and then how to harmonize its expression with the needs of our fellow man so that all are really benefited and inspired to unfold and express more of their inner spiritual resources.

There is an indefinable mysterious Power that pervades everything.
I feel It, though I do not see It.
It is this unseen Power which makes Itself felt and yet defies all proof,
because It is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses.
It transcends the senses....
That informing Power or Spirit is God....
For I can see that in the midst of death life persists,
in the midst of untruth, truth persists,
in the midst of darkness light persists.
Hence I gather that God is Life, Truth, Light.  He is love.
He is supreme good.
But he is no God who merely satisfies the intellect if He ever does.
God to be God must rule the heart and transform it.

Gandhi

In the midst of outer dangers, I have felt an inner calm and known resources of strength that only God could give.  In many instances I have felt the power of God transforming the fatigue of despair into the buoyancy of hope.  I am convinced that the universe is under the control of a loving purpose, and that in the struggle for righteousness man has cosmic companionship.  Behind the harsh appearances of the world there is a benign power.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. 

Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.

Eckhart Tolle, from Stillness Speaks

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small doesn't serve to world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson, from A Return to Love, 1992
