“Now you said that there was no specific place between those two physical locations where the “air of the living room” stopped and the “air of the dining room” began. And that is true. Yet there is a place where the “air of the living room” becomes less dense. That is, it dissipates, becomes “thinner”. So, too, the “air of the dining room”. The further from the dining room you go, the less you smell dinner! Now the air in the house is the same air. There is no “separate air” in the dining room. Yet the air in the dining room sure seems like “other air”. For one thing, it smells different! So because the air has taken on different characteristics, it seems as though it is different air. But it is not. It is all the same air, seeming different. In the living room you smell the fireplace, in the dining room you smell dinner. You might even go into one room and say, “Whew, it’s stuffy. Let’s get some air in here” as if there was no air at all. And yet, of course, there’s plenty of air. What you are wanting to do is change its characteristics. So you bring in some air from the outside. Yet that is the same air, too. There is only one air, moving in, around, and through everything.
Like the air in your house, the energy of life—what we’ll call the “Soul of Cod”—takes on different characteristics as it surrounds different physical objects. Indeed, that energy coalesces in a particular way to form those objects. As particles of energy join together to form physical matter, they become very concentrated. Mashed up. Pushed together. They begin to “look like,” even “feel like,” distinct units. That is, they begin to seem “separate”, “different”, from all the other energy. Yet this is all the same energy, behaving differently. It is this very act of behaving differently which makes it possible for That Which Is All to manifest as That Which Is Many. As I explain in Book 1, That Which Is could not experience Itself as What It is until It developed this ability to differentiate. So That Which Is All separated into That Which Is This, and That Which Is That.
The “clumps of energy” which coalesced into discreet units that held in physical beings are what you have chosen to call “souls”. The parts of Me that have become the lot of You are what We are talking about here. Thus, the Divine Dichotomy: There is only One of us. There are Many of us.
Now as energy coalesces, it becomes, as I said, very concentrated. But the further one moves from the point of this concentration, the more dissipated the energy becomes. The “air becomes thinner”. The aura fades. The energy never completely disappears, because it cannot. It is the stuff of which everything is made. It’s All There Is. Yet it can become very, very thin, very subtle—almost “not there”. Then, in another place (read that, another part of Itself) it can again coalesce, once more “clumping together” to form what you call matter, and what “looks like” a discreet unit. Now the two units appear separate from each other, and in truth there is no separation at all. This is, in very, very simple and elementary terms, the explanation behind the whole physical universe.
Your scientists are already discovering that the building blocks of all of life are the same. They brought back rocks from the moon and found the same stuff they find in trees. They take apart a tree and find the same stuff they find in you. I tell you this: We are all the same stuff. We are all the same energy, coalesced, compressed in different ways to create different forms and different matter. Nothing “matters” in and of itself. That is, nothing can become matter all by itself. Jesus said,“Without the Father, l am nothing.” The Father of all is pure thought. This is the energy of life. This is what you have chosen to call Absolute Love. This is the God and the Goddess, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. It is the All-in-All, the Unmoved Mover, the Prime Source. It is that which you have sought to understand from the beginning of time. The Great Mystery, the Endless Enigma, the eternal truth.There is only One of Us, and so, it is THAT WHICH YOU ARE.” —Conversations with God

“All of life is a vibration. That which you call life (you could just as easily call it God) is pure energy. That energy is vibrating constantly, always. It is moving in waves.
The waves vibrate at different speeds, producing differing degrees of density, or light. This, in turn, produces what you would call different “effects” in the physical world—actually, different physical objects. Yet while the objects are different and discreet, the energy which produces them is exactly the same.” —Conversations with God

“As you go through your day, pay a genuine compliment to every person you interact with. The person can be a stranger you just happened to bump into or it can be a person you share every day of your life with. As you do this simple act you’ll see people’s faces light up and you’ll realize how good it feels to simply acknowledge something you like about a person. The really great thing about paying compliments is that unlike paying money to people, you can never run out of compliments to pay. However, a genuine compliment has the power to light up a person’s day just as well as money can. So take the small step of paying compliments to people. Do it freely and frequently and you may even start a little movement of kindness around you. At the very least, you’ll brighten someone’s day along with your own, even if it’s just a little bit.”

“It is important to create new and higher images of yourself. If you were filled with thoughts of what would be absolutely joyful in your life, such as traveling, more free time, a loving relationship, a physical body that is becoming stronger and more fit every day, how you can add light to your life and to the world, you would not have time to think at the old, more painful or mundane levels.”

“Being positive doesn’t mean you cover up and repress negative feelings. The path to real positivity leads through negativity. Only if you understand negativity can you truly have the power to choose positivity. Your negative feelings are meant to highlight negative beliefs you hold within you so that you can change them and then automatically be led to positivity.
To put it another way: if you try so hard to focus on the light while repressing the dark you are only looking at half of the picture. The idea is to realize that the darkness holds the light and light holds the darkness. Loving both allows you to choose whatever you prefer and allows you to experience life in its true glory.
So if you feel like shit don’t cover it up. Express your feelings without hurting anyone and you will then find out why you felt like shit in the first place. Make sure you don’t blame anyone for your feelings. Instead, accept them as your own and realize that it is only because of your perspective that you felt like shit. Remember, your reactions always say more about you than they do about the thing you are reacting to. At this point you now have the power to change your perspective so that you no longer feel like shit. This is the path of truly transforming negativity into positivity instead of putting a band-aid of fake positivity to cover the negativity.” —Sohail Desai

“As you move through your life, always seek to learn more about yourself rather than attempting to learn more about the world around you. The only thing you can be sure of in any case is your knowledge of yourself. Your apparent knowledge of others or the world is actually directly related to your perspective, in which case the knowledge will always lead you back to learning more about yourself. All knowledge is self-knowledge.
Whenever you delude yourself into thinking that you are learning about something or someone “out there” you are actually just making assumptions. You cannot truly know a person or anything else unless you become that person or thing. You can only truly know your perspective of that person or thing. You can only know how you wish to relate to that person or thing and this knowledge of how you relate has more to do with you than it does about anything else.
Remember, your experience of life has more to do with you than anyone else. So do not ever seek to change anything in the outer world because this will lead you down a road leading to constant frustration. Rather, seek only to change how you relate so that you can gain greater clarity about who you choose to perceive yourself as. In short: it’s never about another, it’s always about yourself.” —Sohail Desai

“There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don’t help them by doing the job yourself.”

“There is no way for anybody to truly know you. All they know is their version of you, which is who they think you are. For them to truly know you they would have to actually be you and this, of course, is impossible. They cannot see anything from your perspective and you cannot see anything from theirs.
What this means is that you could say that in reality there are an infinite number of versions of you, each version created by the different perspectives experiencing you. Each person filters the concept of who you are through their own perspective. Therefore, their perspective of you truly says more about them than it does about you.
This is why it is very important for you to be clear about who you know yourself to be and how you are going to perceive yourself, because this is ultimately what you will experience in your life. What others perceive of you is up to them since they will experience you in their own way regardless. Trying to change yourself so that others perceive you in a certain way is ultimately futile and very frustrating.” —Sohail Desai
