Quote by James Collins

“The mere presence of the shepherd puts the sheep at peace. When he is near, they don't panic, and they don't fight. They can lay down in peaceful slumber. It's the same with you and me. Nothing reduces stress like the presence of the Shepherd. When you are living in close connection to Jesus, you can sleep, you can relax, you can rest.”

“The law of One tells us; Every single Soul, incarnate and discarnate, is connected at the level of the collective conscious and unconscious within the Higher Self. We are all part of an extraordinary, energetic living substance called God. The purpose of this energetic living substance is to create more energy. When we live in peace, harmony, and unity, we not only increase our level of vibration, but also increase the level of vibration of the entire energetic living substance. When we live in conflict, disharmony, and disunity, we not only decrease our own level of vibration, but also decrease the level of vibration of the entire energetic substance. Because we are all connected and part of this ONE energetic living substance, everything we think, say, the way we feel and what we do, affects every Soul.”

“Hm. Have you ever read War and Peace, John? I know, I know; I had to read an extract for a literature class once, ended up reading the whole thing It’s not actually as boring as people say, and its central thesis is that the tiniest, most insignificant factors can control the destiny of the world. In its post-script, Tolstoy muses on the concept of free will, on whether or not he really believes in it. He ultimately decides that if all the millions upon millions of factors that weigh upon our choices were fully and completely known, then all could be foreseen and predetermined. But, he argues, it is quite impossible for the human mind to comprehend even a fraction of these. And in that vast, dark space of ignorance lies: free will. Isn’t that marvelous, John? Free will is simply ignorance. It’s just the name we give to the fact that no one can ever really see everything that controls them. Of course, that’s not the real crux of the free will question that’s bothering you at the moment, is it? I think that one probably comes down to whether or not you’re choosing to continue reading this statement out loud.”

“SAME OLD NEIGHBORHOOD The neighborhood hasn’t changed, But the draperies on the windows have been swept aside. We see you. Telling someone to go back to where they came from, To the place where they had no voice And no choice. That place where they were beaten, Neglected and shamed, Where they never felt safe, Never had a chance. Oh, they’d love to go home, But home isn’t home anymore. The neighborhood hasn’t changed; But the fanfaronade has consequences. We hear you. It’s not just words. It’s not simply freedom. It’s a weapon to harm and destroy. To punish those who aren’t the same. People just like you commit horrific crimes, But you don’t identify them Only with crimes because they mirror you. People just like you hurt you and fight you and hate you, But you don’t see them all as threatening because they are you. The neighborhood hasn’t changed, But many more of us want to live here only in peace. You can make that happen. So many beautiful people I’ve known in my life Were those people you rejected, And they were full of warmth and kindness and wisdom. You don’t see them because they’re not the same. The neighborhood hasn’t changed, And neither has any divine love for all who live here. Like you, we are sacred. All is sacred every moment of every day.”
