There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance -- that principle is contempt prior to investigation.

You must become the change you wish to see in the world.

A dog, I have always said, is prose. A cat is a poem.

It is really the cats' (and dogs') house -- we just pay the mortgage.

There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast.
-Author Unknown-

The world we see merely reflects our own internal frame of reference the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in our minds.
Projection makes perception (Text, p. 445). We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see and then project that world
outside, making it the truth as we see it. We make it true by our interpretations of what it is we are seeing. If we are using perception
to justify our own mistakes our anger, our impulses to attack, our lack of love in whatever form it may take we will see a world of evil,
destruction, malice, envy and despair. All this we must learn to forgive, not because we are being good and charitable, but because
what we are seeing is not true. We have distorted the world by our twisted defences, and are therefore seeing what is not there. As we
learn to recognise our perceptual errors, we also learn to look past them or forgive. At the same time we are forgiving ourselves,
looking past our distorted self-concepts to the Self that God created in us and as us.
