“Why pray for the Kingdom of God to come unless you have in your heart a desire and a willingness to aid in its establishment? Praying for His will to be done and then not trying to live it, gives you a negative answer at once. You would not grant something to a child who showed that attitude towards a request he is making of you. If we pray for the success of some cause or enterprise, manifestly we are in sympathy with it. It is the height of disloyalty to pray for God's will to be done, and then fail to conform our lives to that will.” IfsGivingTryingHeartChildrenDoneDesireCausesAnswersAttitudeOur LivesFailingPrayingNegativeAidsGods WillKingdomsHeightEnterpriseGrantsWillingnessEstablishmentConformKingdom Of GodRequestPraying To GodDisloyalty Author:David O.

“Strangely enough we strengthen love in ourselves when we raise into consciousness the shadow side of our lives. Conversely, when we keep negative feelings out of sight, they smother the love that seems to lie deeper and closer to the real self. This is probably why there is so much pain in not loving. The life that is not able to express the love which is so integral to it grows deformed.” RealSelfEnoughFeelingsSeemsAblePainLyingGrowsSidesConsciousnessOur LivesShadowNegativeSightRaisesDeeperReal SelfNegative FeelingsShadow Side Author:Elizabeth O'Connor
“There's been a lot of comparisons to "The Prisoner," and sometimes people take a negative tact on that, but to be really honest, I count that as a compliment, in the sense that what I felt "The Prisoner" was for the '60's, in how the individual triumphs over the state and authority, our show is really about how complacent we have become in our lives, which are scrutinized.” PeopleSometimesStatesShowsIndividualFeltOur LivesHonestAuthorityNegativeTriumphComparisonComplimentPrisonerComplacentTact Author:Remi Aubuchon
“I've spent the last few years really trying to come out of that belief system. Speaking mythologically, it's like Beauty and the Beast.
