  • You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you.

Thought for the Day

  • There is more to giving than just doing. It is being: being happy, being principled, being considerate and understanding, being a friend in all ways. And that kind of giving comes from within, because it is the outer expression of Universal Love. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • Regardless of what your personal experiences in life are: your role, your activities, your birthpath, group, background - it does not matter - whatever you are in nature, whoever you are in potential, you can live within Principle because it is the law that governs us all and none is exempt. You have a potential as great as anyone else's. The only thing that stops you is the limitations in your merging with that Principle. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • A habit is like a mental roadblock; it stops the expansion and growth of mind; it is something that is always with you and demands physical and mental attention, and sometimes to the almost complete exclusion of the other things of a constructive nature. –Alfred J. Parker

  • I cannot stress too deeply the importance of one's constructive mental attitude toward life. One gets out of life only what one puts into it; everything must be seeded in different degrees. Always express happy thoughts and keep an uncomplaining mind. A complaining mind is a destructive one-destructive to health and happiness. How easily we may be made unhappy depends upon the weakness and ignorance of our own minds. Happy thoughts expressed are like the sunbeams that create warmth-that stimulate one's sense of well being and make us feel happy. Give happiness and you will receive it in return: it is a natural phenomenon of a balanced and well-ordered mind. Do not complain; instead seek the solution to the problem, and then you can do something constructive about it. This can best be accomplished by forgetting self; too much false value is placed upon self and personality, thus developing an overrated and inflated ego that sees all things in proportion to its own ignorance. –Alfred J. Parker
