“We encourage you to examine your core beliefs and see how you extract those elements of your experiences that reinforce your beliefs. Beliefs are the ideas we hold to be true. If the ones you are holding are not serving you, consider exchanging them for ones that will.”

“What is your contribution to the world? What are the unique talents that distinguish you? In Eastern philosophy, the concept of dharma implies that each human being has something unique to offer the world.

“Envision a life in which you are making good choices, living in harmony with the people, elements, and forces around you.

Imagine what your life would look like if you were living in service to yourself and those around you. Make a commitment for your actions in the world to align with this vision of wholeness. We are the sum total of the choices we make in life. As creative beings, we have the capacity to make new evolutionary choices that deliver on our birthright to lead a life abundant in peace, love, and purpose.”

“The spiritual path is a path of self-referral. Your inner peace is not dependent upon anyone else’s endorsement. From your platform of expanded awareness, you can see the interweaving of the elements of forces of nature conspiring to create the stories of life. Until you recognize that each of us is playing a role in a cosmic performance, you may not question that your character can evolve. You can read the script that you’ve been handed or you can improvise. You can change the plot line and bring new dimensions to your character”
