"If the experience is used for self-indulgence, self-aggrandizement, or self-exaltation, the entity does so to its own undoing, and creates for itself that which has been called karma and which must be met. And in meeting every error, every trail, every temptation, whether they may be mental or physical experiences, the approach to it should always be in the attitude of: “Not my will, but Thine, O God, be done in and through me."

“If the experience is used for self-indulgence, self-aggrandizement, or self-exaltation, the entity does so to its own undoing, and creates for itself that which has been called karma and which must be met.

“Don't worry so much where you live but how you live. Make the family of man your family as well. (Edgar Cayce On the Millennium Chapter One - The great new planet earth.)”

“The Lord, marks the fall of the smallest sparrow. He knows how so many in authority treat the infirm and the aged. Look at the Napoleons, Caesars and the like. Rather than casting themselves in God's image they made Gods of themselves. and were destroyed. (Edgar Cayce On the Millennium Chapter One - The great new planet earth.)”

“In those ways that open to you day by day. It isn't always the individual that plans to accomplish some great deed that does the most. It is the one who meets the opportunities and privileges which are accorded it day by day. As such opportunities are used, there are better ways opened. For what we use in the way of helpfulness to others, increases in itself. Begin with what you are! (Many Mansions Chapter 20 - A Philosophy of Vocational Choice)”

“Encouraging the weak and the faint; giving strength and courage to those who have faltered. (Many Mansions Chapter 20 - A Philosophy of Vocational Choice)”
