Talk 1: Relationship Magic: Finding Heaven on Earth

• If knowledge alone were enough to fill the empty heart, then all of the ideas with which we have filled ourselves -- about happiness, love, and contentment -- would have long ago brought an end to our seeking.

• See the ocean: it does not run after its own waves, as it knows they must return to rest in her depths. And so it is for us: whether we speak of joy, peace, strength, or love itself -- no greater illusion exists that we should somehow find, searching outside of ourselves, the Source of our True Self.

Talk 2: Remember This Fearless Truth and Find Total Freedom

• If you want to find a fearless life find something -- anything that you may love -- and give yourself to it so completely that it masters you.

• True self-command is knowing that one will have what is needed in the moment of need -- but to have this kind of conscious command requires a whole new idea of what it is that one really needs.

Talk 3: Enter the World of New Beginnings Within Yourself

• Wisdom always recognizes herself. Truth knows the sound of itself. Love never fails to see where Love is not. The living Light within us sees by its own luminescence, and never dims or goes out.

• There is no wasted time unless we refuse to learn the truth of ourselves, for the True Self is eternal; but to throw away this gift of life everlasting is to have wasted all time.

Talk 4: Release Yourself and Realize Conscious Love

• To remember that you are a creation of Celestial Light -- a part of its wish and work to perfect your soul -- is to realize the humility of love that makes it possible for you to know rebirth.

• True freedom is found in neither position nor possession: real liberation is the moment of ""release"" that takes pace whenever some inherent limitation is acted upon by what is greater than itself and transformed accordingly.

Talk 5: Unlocking the Universe of Your True Self

• Thinking can no more produce peace of mind than throwing a stone into the center of a pond has the power to end its ripples.

• The hope that changing where you live will change the way in which you experience your life -- is like believing that the mirror that you are looking into has the power, in itself, to change what you see as you look into it.

Talk 6: Anchor Yourself in the 'Present Moment'

• In order to enter into the school of the Eternal, we must allow the lesson in each moment to be our teacher.

• The fabric of the false self is made up from innumerable strands of experience woven together by an imaginary tailor who lives in terror that what it has made will unravel.
