The power of decision is my own.
No one can suffer loss, or pain, or grief, or fear, or sickness unless it be his own decision. And no one dies without his own consent.
Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your world, complete in all details. Here is its whole reality for you. And it is only here salvation is. Lesson 152
Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. This is the truth, at first to be said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as partly true, with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth. W-284
