Thought for the Day

  • Universality of mind is expressed as clarity of thought, bigness of concept, freedom within mind to experience placidity, happiness, relaxation, and contentment. –Kabalarian Writings

  • Love is something that should not stay the same, but something that improves with age, something that mellows and develops qualities of understanding that alter as our thinking changes. Our love of life is our conception of life, and the principle of growth allows us to alter our concept of life. –Kabalarian Writings

  • The greatest word in all languages is understanding. Learn to think about life: the part we are intended to play in the scheme of things. Learn to value the principle of relationship; i.e., we are all One Life, One Breath, and One God. Therefore, there is good and God in all things. Look always for the good and you will find it along with wisdom. –Alfred J.Parker

  • Strive to govern moods and habits so as to create peace and happiness with others through happy, constructive thoughts, through little acts of generosity and service, and through seeing good and God in others. Acts of giving never go unrewarded. –Alfred J. Parker
