*CHANGE/*CHANGELESS -

Serenity Prayer - God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.. the courage to change the things I can... and the wisdom to know the difference.

Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. (ACIM Intro, p38)

All authentic change is based on our contact with that dynamic stillness (Energy). Bring our attention to a stillpoint and there we will find that this universal consciousness is always at the forefront. (Stillness, p136)

Beyond all apparent change, life is an essential unity. (Tao Peace, p193)

The parts of the universe move (change), but not the universe. The analogy of the dynamic balance scale that is stabilized between negative-neutral-positive natural values or spiritual-rational-sensual human values. The parts of the balance scale move, but the whole does not. On this balance scale, all things change, yet nothing changes; all is one, yet all is diverse. (Trinitine@aol.com)

Only when you say "I did this" (and accept responsibility) can you find the power to change it. The way to reduce the pain which you associate with earthly experiences and events is to change the way you behold them. You may not be able to change the outer event, but you can change the inner experience. Pain is a result of wrong thought. It is an error in thinking. Pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears. (Conversations, p36-7)

Create yourself anew in the image and likeness of Who You Really Are and produce a reality of a higher and higher you, based on your grandest idea of what it is of which you are capable. (Conversations, p39)

Lent is an annual renewal of Christian conversion (change) that prepares us for Easter. "Repent and believe the Good News." The church has asked people to personalize and interiorize sacrifice and conversion. (Keeping In Touch)

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. (H. Bergson)

The only constant is change.
