Value truth over ego and discomfort.
Be willing to find out that you were wrong. Look for what is true, even when it asks something of you.
The power you’re seeking isn’t out there.It is already within you.
If you’re worried about the future, trying to control what you can’t, or living a life shaped by everyone but you—begin here.
You might already know this feeling.
Suffering wears ordinary clothes. It sounds like a thought you’ve had so many times that you no longer notice it speaking.
Choose one thought above. There is no wrong place to begin.
What do we
mean by God?
The God Within is the awareness that observes your thoughts without being trapped by them—the Highest Self, the True Self, consciousness, the quiet light that can see what is true and choose what happens next.
You do not have to recover an old faith or borrow someone else’s. Begin with self-knowledge. Learn how your thoughts, feelings, and actions move. The way in is through you.

Introduction to The God Within
Who is really in charge of your life? Begin with the question beneath all the others.
1Are You Honest?
The lies that matter most are often the quiet ones we tell ourselves.
2If Only
Two small words can place your happiness outside your control. Take it back.
3No Regrets
Regret can punish the person you were—or teach the person you are.
4Aging: The Good, Bad, and Ugly
Aging is not life becoming smaller. It is another form of becoming.
5Are You a Fool?
Making a mistake does not make you a fool. Refusing to learn from it might.
You do not have to do the work alone.
Read on your own, talk it through with someone, or meet regularly with a few people where you live. If you want a conversation or news of future gatherings, write to Larry.
