There\'s only what you choose, and how you can have it. If you choose peace and joy and love, you won\'t get much of it through what you\'re doing. If you choose happiness and contentment, you\'ll find little of that on the path of doingness. If you choose reunion with God, supreme knowing, deep understanding, endless compassion, total awareness, absolute fulfillment, you won\'t achieve much of that out of what you\'re doing.

As the new spirituality begins to become the pervasive spirituality of the planet, we'll find that we have abandoned our philosophy of contradictions in which we say we're all one but continue to try to win.
True vision is the ability to see in another more than they are showing you.
