Books and Publications on Attitudinal Healing

     "If we are willing, it is possible to change our [fearful] belief 
      system.  However, to do so we must take a look at every one of our
      cherished assumptions and values from the past.  This means letting 
      go of any investment in holding on to fear, anger, pain, or guilt.
      It means letting the past slip away and with it all the fears from 
      the past that we keep extending into the present and future."

     "When we recognize that what is in the best interest of another 
      is also of complete benefit to us, we gain inner tranquility, if 
      only briefly, because for that moment we have left our own personal 
      hell behind. The mind simply cannot focus on misery when it is 
      flooded with the desire to heal and make happy, even if the 
      appearances and forms of misery remain." 

     "We need to remind ourselves that peace or conflict is always
      our choice.  We are truly responsible for what we experience.
      Peace does not come to us by chance or good luck.  Peace or 
      conflict always comes from a decision we have made ourselves -- 
      a decision to put into our minds only loving thoughts, or a 
      decision to hold on to thoughts that are fearful, judgmental, 
      and attacking." 

     "Practicing attitudinal healing raises our consciousness of how
      we are unintentionally always of service to others.  People
      glean insights and understandings by observing how we think, react 
      and live.  We serve others simply by existing.  We don't have to
      intentionally do, say or be anything.  When we are at peace within
      ourselves, we share peace simply by being." 

     "Service is part of the journey.  It is not an end in itself.  It
      is a vehicle by which we reach a deeper understanding of who we
      really are, as we learn to forgive and love those people given 
      to us in all of life's experiences.  Those who we serve are our
      teachers." 

     "The swelling of compassion in the heart is the great herald of
      eternal freedom.  Compassion is the awareness that it's okay to
      be where we are, to experience what we're experiencing, with the
      undercurrent knowledge that there's something else.  In a moment
      of quietness we may find that something else and devote our lives
      to it." 

     "The peace of God is everything I want.
      The peace of God is my one goal;
      the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, 
      my purpose and my function and my life,
      while I abide where I am not at home."
