Quotes from "The Child Within Us Lives"
by: William Samuel

In a recent letter, which appears to have done its good works I wrote:  "William Samuel's experience may seem miraculous to you, but that view doesn't exist because of Samuel's ability to change the scene around him.  It exists entirely because of the confident EXPECTATION of GOOD (God) continually Self-confirmed as this experience.  That is, I look for the Good that is present.  I expect to see it and then I see it!  If this is too simple, I'm sorry, it is just that easy.  If one jumps into the river and expects wet, he sees wet.  If one looks at God's earth and expects good, he sees it.  This awareness, the life, is God's viewing.  Long ago I stopped taking account of Bill's seeing anything on his own.  I expect to see God confirmed everywhere-and I do."  So can you.


The mysterious paradox goes something like this:  Ending the ludicrous attempt to manipulate the human scene to suit the me-sense's fanciful lusts (and righteous desires), one finds the scene revealing (confirming) the Scene--and this may very well appear to be a greater manipulation of tangibility than could have been me-dreamed or me-imagined.  Not trying to manipulate so much, we suddenly know what gentle good to do for others--and do it!  This is love in action!  Do you see?  It is difficult to write these things!

Closer than breathing -
 Nearer than hands and feet


When I identify with my Swan Self (My Child Heart Self) my life is a sweet celestial harmonious symphony.  My instrument is in perfect pitch and in tune with other instruments and with the Conductor. I cannot be separated from my good for I live and move and have my being in God.  I play the joyful notes with as much gusto as the sad sorrowful notes without discrimination and peace follows me wherever I go.

 If I do not take time to keep my instrument in tune and ready to play, I get overly concerned with the notes (the details of my daily life I can quickly find myself in a cacophony of confusion, upset, struggle and strain, fretting and worrying about everything.  I have fallen back into the Ugly Duckling pond of despondency.

I have found that pain can be a major distraction, a great temptation to want to manipulate the human scene, (the Ugly Duckling world).  The more I cling to it the more it clings to me.  It is a trap that can be avoided if I use it as an opportunity to TRUST my Child Heart and be like the lily in the field that does not toil or fret.  I can soon prove that Peace and Love are closer than hands and feet, nearer than breathing.

Quiet Slow World


nicole at nikki hollywood - 1 day ago



Sometimes, here in this big city, I’ll stop and think about home in Aspen. About growing up and the mountains. About the windows and the moonlight on the ground. When I would just sit by the fire circling things I liked in catalogues, like gourmet gift baskets, apple baskets with chocolate covered popcorn, from Harry & David. Or maybe sweaters from Eddie Bauer that I didn’t really want but were the best thing in the catalogue so I circled them anyway, while the quiet snow fell outside. Now it’s so fast all the time. And loud. Traffic and subway stations where there’s a guy behi... more »
