““You are pure Spirit. Therefore to know: I am only this, and in each moment, regardless of what I believe I see, regardless of the feelings that arise within my awareness, I and I alone am wholly one hundred percent responsible for them. No one has caused them. No great force in the universe has made this perception well up within my consciousness. I have selected it. Just as you would go to a grocery store and choose what you will have for dinner and then go home and experience your creation, so too do you choose each experience.””
