Quote by Elizabeth M. Lykins

“We do not have any power over external events. Conversely, events have no power to cause us to think or feel any particular way, even though they may adversely affect our physical surroundings. What we do have is an amazing power; the power to choose the way we look at events, which, in turn, effects our feelings about them. Choose wisely, the thoughts you entertain.”

“The One (the Uncreated or the First Being) is the high source of the Pleroma. The One is Infinite. Infinity is integral. Integral means whole, intact, undivided, full and unbroken. Infinity cannot be divided against itself. The One is also coherent. Coherent means clear, consistent, sonorous, intelligible. All Divine Reality is present in each and every point within itself. This spirit that dwells in us also inhabits all existence. There is a living presence dwelling in everything. The final substance from which all forms are created.”

“What is a word? It is a sound vibration! And what is the intelligence behind this vibration that "thinks" the Word? The answer is MIND (or what some call consciousness, intention or god). In short, there is a mind behind matter. Our holy and sacred minds are part of the Divine Consciousness.”

“Failure is not fatal nor that you are finished but the result of unfinished product waiting to be reproduced, reprocessed and polished. Failure is that you have learned your omissions, mistakes or what you did not do right or well at the last attempt. You can transform failure into a fortune by dealing with what went wrong. Failure is only a product of uncorrected mistakes.”
