Quotes about Transformation

The other person doesn't have to consciously join you in the change. 'Whoever is saner at the time,' says A Course in Miracles, 'is to invite the Holy Spirit into a situation.' It doesn't matter whether or not another person shares our willingness to let God enter. Everything you need in life already exists inside your head.

Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self, just as excess marble surrounded Michelangelo's perfect statue.

His correction of our perception is called the Atonement.

Another miraculous transformation is the shift from a sales mentality to a service mentality. When we're motivated by the desire to sell, we're only looking out for ourselves.  When we're motivated by the desire to serve, we're looking out for others.  Since in the realm of consciousness, we only get to keep what we give away, a service mentality is a far more abundant attitude.

In asking the Holy Spirit to help us, we are expressing our willingness to perceive a situation differently. We give up our own interpretations and opinions, and ask that they be replaced by His.

We're not at the mountaintop until any zone is comfortable. Love isn't love until it's unconditional.

Dear God,        Please impress upon me        The vision of whom I am meant to be.        Reveal to me the bigger life        That You would have me live.        Undo the forces that keep me bound,        That I might serve You more.        Amen.

Dear God, Please free me from false appetites and take away my pain. Take from me my addicted self, and show me who I am. Unchain my heart so I might live a freer life at last. Amen

Until we heal the child we used to be, the adult we want to be doesn't stand a chance.

A moment of crisis can be a moment of growth, as the wounded self prepares to transform. From the chrysalis of my pain, I will forge my healing—the wings of my newborn self.

A miracle is a shift in thinking, a shift from fear to love.

May the activity of my mind and work of my hands be of service to the healing of the world.
