Hi Gaia,

"Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering." - Jesus

"As a man thinketh, so is he" - Jesus

"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Jesus

(In other words: don't go after the stuff directly, but go after the "kingdom of heaven within" (aka enlightenment, happiness, inner peace, joy, love, positive emotions) and all the other stuff you want will line up.

"Three are the dwellings of the sons and daughters of Man. Thought, feeling and body. When the three become one, you will say to this mountain "move" and the mountain will move." - From The Kabbalah

The word genius was whispered into my ear, the first thing I ever heard, while I was still mewling in my crib. So it never occurred to me that I wasn`t until middle age.

"The Best of Both Worlds"
by Van Halen

I don't know what I've been livin' on, but
It's not enough to fill me up
I need more than just words can say
I need everything this life can give me. Hey-hey yeah
'Cause sometimes it's not enough. Ow!

Come on baby, close your eyes, let go
This can be everything we dreamed
It's not work that makes it work, oh
No, let the magic do the work for you

'Cause honey, something reached out and touched me
Now I know all I want

I want the best of both worlds
An' honey I know what it's worth
If we could have the best of both worlds
We'd have heaven right here on earth. Woo!

[Wax Frog]

Hmm, never thought of song lyrics as quotes!

Giving in to the power
Giving in to the magic of the ride
Using imagination
We take a step into the other side

"Fortune Seller, Yes
