Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 "In order to truly know God, you have to be out of your mind. Come to Me, along the path of your heart, not through a journey of your mind. You will never find Me in your mind." - page 74 "A big ego is not a sign that one likes oneself, but just the opposite. If people "brag" and "show off" a lot, it raises the question, what do they dislike about themselves so much that they feel they have to get others to like them to compensate?" - page 76 "And if the mirrors of life show you distortions, it is a reflection of the distorted thoughts about you." - page 82 "What you are invited to do is live in the moment. Create your Self anew in the present moment. Neither rest on your laurels nor dwell on your failures. Rather, start over; begin anew in each golden moment of Now. [Question:] But how can I change behaviors that have become habitual, or character traits that have become ingrained? By asking yourself one simple question: Is this Who I Am? It's the most important question you will ever ask yourself. You may ask it profitably before and after every decision in your life, from what clothes to wear, to what job to take, from whom to marry, to whether to marry at all. And certainly it is a key question to ask when you catch yourself in behaviors you say you want to discontinue." - pages 85 and 86 "These questions, asked at the right moment, can propel you forward in your own evolution faster than you might ever imagine. The questions are: Is this Who I Am? What would love do now?" - page 90 "Yet you cannot be totally awake while you are thinking. Thinking is another form of being in a dream state. Because what you are thinking about is the illusion. It is okay. You are living in the illusion, you have placed yourself there, so you should give it some thought. But remember, thought creates reality, so if you've created a reality that you don't like, don't give it a second thought!" - page 200 >From the book "Friendship with God" by Neale Donald Walsch, published by Putnam.
