Status Updates From Conversations with God: An ...

179: "To change your reality, simply stop thinking like that. In this case, instead of thinking 'I want success', think 'I have success.'
That feels like a lie to me.
Then think a thought you can accept. 'My success is coming to me now,' or 'all things lead to my success.'"

179: "A thought or a word expressed and expressed and expressed becomes just that--expressed. That is, pushed out. It becomes outwardly realized. It becomes your physical reality."

164: usual method of creation: thought, word, action
"The most rapid way to change a root thought, or sponsoring idea, is to reverse the thought-word-deed process.
Do the deed that you want to have the new thought about. Then say the words that you want to have your new thought about. Do this often enough and you'll train the mind to think a new way."

160: Chapter 11 on money was one of the best chapters

151: "You have determined, in the creation of Self, that respect for human life is, and must be, a high prime value. I am pleased with your decision, because I did not create life that it may be destroyed."

132: Determine what your purpose in life is.
"In situations where you are being abused, at the very least you will stop the abuse. And that will be good for both you and your abuser. For even an abuser is abused when his abuse is allowed to continue.
If the abuser finds his abuse is acceptable, what has he learned? Yet if the abuser finds that his abuse will be accepted no more, what has he been allowed to discover?"

125: People subconsciously think "'If I can just love others, they will love me. Then I will be lovable, and I can love me."

"Two people join together in partnership hoping the whole will be greater than the sum, only to find less. They feel less capable, less able, less attractive, less content. This is because they are less. They've given up most of who they are in order to be--and stay--in their relationship."

101: "Passion is the love of turning being into action. It fuels the engine of creation. It changes concepts into experience. Passion is the fire that drives us to express who we really are. Never deny passion, for that is to deny Who You Are and Who You Truly Want to Be. Passion is a love of doing."

92-93: Lose all pessimism. Release all doubts. Reject all fears. Discipline your mind to hold fast to the original creative thought. When your thoughts are clear and steadfast, begin to speak them as truths. Say them out loud. 'I am' is the strongest creative statement in the universe. Whatever you think, whatever you say, after the words 'I am' sets into motion these experiences, calls them forth, brings them to you

92: "So you've asked when your life will 'take off', and I've given you the answer. You get your life to 'take off' by first becoming very clear in your thinking about it. Think about what you want to be, do, and have. Think about it very often until you are very clear about this. Then, when clear, think about nothing else. Imagine no other possibilities.
Throw all negative thoughts out of your mental constructions.

79: "It's your actions surrounding [the circumstance]--feeling sorry for yourself, sitting around despondent, not trying to find a way out--that create your long-term reality.
The first thing to understand about the universe is that no condition is 'good' or 'bad'. It just is. So stop making value judgments. The second thing to know is that all conditions are temporary. Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static"

48: "A thing is only right or wrong because you say it is. A thing is not right or wrong intrinsically."

"Much as we all say we would like to solve all the problems, we dare not solve all the problems, or there will be nothing left for us to do.
The military industrial, medical and religious establishments understand this"

45: 'Do you mean a soul chooses what kind of life it will experience ahead of time?
No, that would defeat the purpose of the encounter. The purpose is to create your experience--and thus, your Self--in the glorious moment of Now. You do not, therefore, choose the life you will experience ahead of time."

How do you have the authority to know/state that?

37: ?

36: interesting page
"There is only one reason to do anything: as a statement to the universe of Who You Are. Used in this way, life becomes Self creative. You use life to create your Self as Who You Are, and Who You've Always Wanted to Be.
...
If you wish to be accurately represented, you must work to change anything in your life which does not fit into the picture of you that you wish to project into eternity."

28: ?

23: "Can you understand this? Are you following?

I think I am, actually. Believe it or not, you have used such a clear illustration that I think I'm actually understanding this."

23: And so All That Is divided Itself--becoming, in one glorious moment, that which is this, and that which is that. For the first time, this and that existed, quite apart from each other. And still, both existed simultaneously. As did all that was neither. Thus, three elements existed: that which is here. That which is there. And that which is neither here nor there--but which must exist for here and there to exist"

23: "The one thing that All That Is knew is that there was nothing else. And so It could, and would, never know itself from a reference point outside of Itself. Such a point did not exist. Only one reference point existed, and that was the single place within. The 'Is-Not Is.' The Am-Not Am...
