"You are what you love, not what loves you. We first make our habits, then our habits make the life we get. There are no final endpoints to adaptation. Our brain is built to solve problems in an unstable outdoor environment while things are constantly in flux. The measure of wisdom is our ability to change."

depends on 4 things: faith, hope, love and knowledge.
Faith is the earth in which we take root.
Hope is the water with which we are nourished.
Love is the air through which we grow.
Knowledge is the light by which we ripen."

"God's laws are changeless, the same as they have ever been. While they are immutable, they are beneficent, for they are good. When we live in conformity to them, they become the very foundation stones on which we build our health, our happiness, our peace and poise, our success and attainment. If we abide fully in God's Law, no evil can befall us. We do not need to be healed. We are every bit whole."

The Principle of Decentration
"Decentration is a relaxation of the senses to give freedom to the mind to conceive idea from
its source; while concentration tenses the seat of sensation in the brain and prevents reaching
beyond the electric activity of the brain into the stillness of the seat of consciousness from
where knowledge comes."
- Walter Russell
