in a cosmic religion for the future:

and it is based on a religious sense
aspiring from the experience of all things,
natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.
- Albert Einstein

When someone has a strong intuitive connection,

When one gets angry, it is always angry AT someone -
perhaps a friend or spouse, perhaps a stranger,

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

If you have an emotional reaction in the presence of someone,
your heart is telling you that you have
not resolved your issues with them.
In other words, you have not truly forgiven that person.
All of this begs the question, how do we forgive?
First, cease lying to yourself and stop telling yourself stories
about why you behave the way you do.
Stop blaming your behavior on other people
and take responsibility for your emotional reactions.
If you could forgive all the people in your life
who have hurt or wounded you
it would be possible to be in control of your behavior
instead of being in reaction to other people all of the time.
Imagine living life without experiencing
a constant emotional roller-coaster of pain, anger, and jealousy!
That would be bliss!
- Sheri Rosenthal

I'm having a bad day. I am not size six.
My legs are not skinny as sticks,

and that my happiness depends on someone else.

You're so shallow.
- Jewel

Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free
and realizing you were the prisoner!

Anger is something that each one of us has experienced -
some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.
Can we eliminate all anger? Probably not.
We will always have expectations,
and those expectations will often be unmet.
Disappointment is the principle cause of anger.
When we are disappointed, we look for someone to blame.
Declaring someone to be at fault is the nature of anger.
Anger is always directed at someone -
possibly toward God or the non-specific "they,"
but at some animate entity.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Anger and Danger are intimately intertwined.
An angry person is a dangerous person,
whether that person crosses our path
or whether the angry person is ourself.
To complete the anger/danger cycle,
whenever we feel threatened -
when we believe we are in danger -
we tend to exhibit anger as well as fear.
We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Those who are dedicated to a life of wisdom
understand that the impulse to blame
something or someone is foolishness,

there is one factor that can make the difference
between damaging your relationship and deepening it.

someone who is happy for you.

for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Forgiving is your gift to yourself -
a great gift - the gift of happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be,
igniting the circuits of our highest potential.
- Rusty Berkus

something bigger than himself
or something other than himself.

I don't care whose fault this was, just get it sorted!
And could someone please bring me something deep fat fried
and smothered in chocolate.

A best friend is the one sitting next
to you saying "boy was that fun."
- The Maugles

As soon as someone is identified as an unsung hero,
he no longer is.
- George Carlin

Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.
- Albert Schweitzer

Real love is never a selfish emotion.
If you want something from someone -
especially if that something is sex -
what you are feeling is not true love.
True love is about wanting happiness for the person you love -
and not about seeking happiness for yourself.
Fortunately, in most cases our own loving presence
is the greatest gift we can give to a person we love.
Nonetheless, the litmus test of love is knowing
we would choose never to see that person again
if we believed that distance would bring them greater happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I live to experience something new each day -
to learn something new,
meet a new friend,
bring joy into someone's life,
feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

if you can think of three reasons why you shouldn't.

We're constantly striving for success, fame and comfort
when all we really need to be happy
is someone or some thing to be enthusiastic about.
- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
