“Any emotion affects our thoughts, our beliefs and our actions. Strong positive emotions exert great power over the human body and the whole world.”

“The weakness of our nature—how soon any strong emotion masters it!”

“Human beings are emotional amoral egoists, driven above all by emotional self-interest. All of our thoughts, beliefs and motivations are neurochemically mediated, some predetermined for survival, others alterable.”

“A work is imaginative in virtue of the power of its images over our emotions; not in virtue of any rarity or surprisingness in the images themselves.”

“The power of our intention and the energy it unleashes are dependent on our levels of coherence and intensity. The affirmation of our positive intentions in thought, feeling and action increases the power of our abilities. Nonetheless, it is important to appreciate that the matrix of physical, emotional, and mental levels of consciousness through which our personal and collective intentions and choices are explored and experienced require a “health warning” on interpreting the Law of Attraction too simplistically.”

“Our nerves are strong, and we do not base our policy on emotions.”

“Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.”

“God should be the object of all our desires, the end of all our actions, the principle of all our affections, and the governing power of our whole souls.”

“Our most important thoughts are those that contradict our emotions.”

“All that we refer to as being ours – our body, our mind, our emotions – is not what we are, essentially.”
