Special Quotes from If God Was Like Man: A Message from God to All of Humanity

"To feel inner peace you need only love, devotion, validation, and permission of self. Problems occur when you try to control things that are outside of yourself rather than seek to grow and nourish those things that exist solely within. Your essence is the essence of all humanity. And this essence is simply love."

"Love is unconditional acceptance. The most important unconditional love and acceptance is for yourself. So if God were like man, he would love another but never at the expense of self." If God were like man, he would seek to express allegiance only to that which exists within self."

"Many of you feel required to follow other allegiances to honor God rather than honor the path that feels true for you, regardless of your upbringing or environment. Do not seek to follow but simply seek to be."

"Why are you here? The reason you are here on earth as a human is to be you. To discover who you really are. To validate, express, create, and be so filled with joy over who you are. When you wake up in the morning your first question to self must be, "Why am I here in this day, and what can I do that brings me joy? What can I seek to discover that brings out the very best of me that I wish to express?"

"This is your purpose, my children, to seek to be your very best and to validate this by only one method: How you feel. If you feel joy, then you are on the right path. But when you feel pain, you disconnect from seeking to find and validate this joy from within, and you forget where the joy comes from. It comes from within self. The feeling originates from within self, and it is only self joy that you are here to express and create."

"Ask yourself: "What do I really want to do? What do I really want to be? What do I love? Express your purpose, your joy, in your work. Create joy for self based on what you love. And then you will feel in touch, in sync, in light, and finally in love with self. And thus you will discover God within."

"Why are you here in this universe, and what is in store for you after this life? Whatever you choose after this life, that is what is in store for you, exactly as it is in this life. There is no ending ever. Not ever, ever, ever. There is no end in sight. Not on this planet, not on another planet, not in physical form, not in nonphysical form."

"You still, no matter where or who you choose to be, will do as you choose, as you prefer, as you seek to evolve to be the very best you choose to be."

"Where did you come from? What is it all about? It is about manifestation. And it is about the divine and creative energy that goes into manifestation. That energy is the essence you are made of
