Achievement doesn't come from what we do, but from who we are. _Our worldly power results from our personal power. _Our career is an extension of our personality. People who profoundly achieve aren't necessarily people who do so much, they're people around whom things get done. Mahatma Gandhi and JFK were great examples of this. _Their great achievements lay in all the energy they stirred in other people,_the invisible forces they unleashed around them. _By touching their own depths, they touched the depths within others. _That kind of charisma, the power to affect what happens on the earth, from an invisible realm within is the natural right and function of the son of god. _New frontiers are internal ones, the real stretch is always within us. _Instead of expanding our ability or willingness to go out and get anything, we expand our ability to receive what is already here for us. _Personal power emanates from someone who takes life seriously. _The universe takes us as seriously as we take it. _There is no greater seriousness than the full_appreciation of the power and importance of love. _Miracles flow from the recognition that love is the purpose of our career.

Perception of a self is not simply about actuality. Human beings_ identities are self-generating and people constantly revise and recreate the story of their being. Coming-into-being, not being, is the highest expression of reality. We only attain the fullest knowledge of a living thing including ourselves when we know what it was, understand what it now is, and understand what it can become. We do not know the truth of a living thing__ existence until we discern its entire history from development to demise.
