You have a divine right to abundance, and if you are anything less than a millionaire, you haven't had your fair share.

Messy surroundings and an untidy life reflect a weakened metaphysical and psychological state. If you are powerful, you will dominate your life, you will find time to clean up and order things, and you will want to do that as a part of your personal discipline. Mess is the external manifestation of the ego’s disquiet and laziness.

If you say to yourself that you will do something, do it. Don’t make promises you won’t keep, and don’t make promises to others if you can’t or won’t follow through. Become immaculate. Be honorable. ... By making your word law, you develop power. ... Most people are not used to their word as law. They are used to wimping out—slip-sliding away if conditions don’t suit them. It weakens them, for the mind knows you’re full of bull.

You get them to see that the only way up is when they’re enthusiastic about their life and their evolution on this earth plane. When their desire to achieve and perceive and create more is greater than the ego’s self-indulgence, obstinacy, and destructive ways—then, and only then—will people change.

As you grow more self-confident and become spiritually mature, you’ll soon reach a point where you can release most of the tribal ideas without too much apprehension and fear. Then you are free to become an individual, a true spiritual being with a spiritual destiny of your own.

I’m sure you understand now that the journey toward the Infinite Self is one of discipline. It isn’t an easy journey. On TV, people promise you the world. Send $39.95 and you can have thin thighs in 30 days. You can have this, you can have that; they tell you it’s effortless. The spiritual journey is not effortless... It involves discipline. How much discipline you can impose is up to you. ... But without discipline, you really don’t have much of a chance.

Listen to your dialogue and watch your thoughts. See how much of it is bitching and moaning and expressing weakness, and how much of it has the God Force within it, expressing hope, gratitude, love, and well-being. Negativity kills you, never forget that. It’s a weed that eventually chokes you to death.

By being less rigid, having fewer absolutes and opinions, and working on your emotions and desires, you can eliminate 90 percent of the anguish in your life.

Visualize yourself there in your hometown, standing across it like you’re 300 or 500 feet tall, and you’re big. The little things of day-to-day life don’t bother you. You are beyond them; you don’t mind a little rain. You don’t mind a few people giving you a hard time in the supermarket. You don’t mind the guy in the post office who was rude to you. You don’t mind the car that cut you off in traffic. You’re not in a rush; you’re eternal. You’re bigger than these things.

You are the God Force. Never forget that. It’s important to remind yourself that the Infinite Self is dynamic and fast-changing, and your life will begin to reflect that nature so it can rest in a perpetual state of dynamic change and not-knowing. But that won’t bother you as you’ve learned not to hold on to things.
