Whatever beliefs and definitions you hold will seem to be true.

Indeed, of the major religions, Islam offers no discernible sliver of valid notion for How Life Works.

You are the only real authority in your life, but you yield that status to so many externals by believing in them, by having been punished or forced into accepting them.

Because your life is a reflection of your inner Self, causality comes exclusively in changing your own nature, not trying to change the external world out there by manipulating it.

When, and only when, you clearly see the inner roots to an outer condition, can you change them and thus it.

There is no other force, no other determining factor, no external cause to the cohesive unfolding of your life’s episodes – only your composite inner nature. Change that and you change your life.

Vocal cords are not rental units. No Hebrew prophet, nor Mohammed, nor any founder of any cult or religion ever spoke the words of anybody but themselves.

The only creative force capable of causally revising your experienced reality is your power to change your Self.

It must be obvious that the Reality we all encounter only works one way, and it functions that way regardless of what the experiencer believes.

Beliefs and definitions never clarify how Reality works -- they only distort perception of it.

Reality, in its essence, consists not of particles interacting pointlessly in anindependent physical plane, but rather of values, psychological elements ofmind, made real.

Faith is always about the Future.

Viola? Keep calling for me– And I’ll keep searching for you– And I’ll find you– You bet yer life on it– I’ll find you– Keep calling for me, Viola– Cuz here I come.

If you're trying to get out of debt, you have to be willing to treat everything as expendable.

Give a man a soccer ball, he plays for a moment. Teach a man to play soccer, he plays for a life time.

I'd say my religious life has shaped my worldview; my writing, I'd say too, is an extension of the pulpit...it reaches folks who don't care for organized religion in a different way.
