"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

(from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, by Marianne Williamson, Harper Collins, 1992. From Chapter 7) A portion of this was used in the movie "Akeela and the Bee."

"Your vision will become clear only
when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens." - Carl G. Jung

"The millions are awake for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive."
