I know who I am and I know where I’m going
Because I know that I’m already there

I need not go anywhere
All that God has for me
is already inside of me.
You think there is a past
and you think there is a future

And you are going back and forth between the two.
Here’s a secret, this is what you do.
From now on the present
is the only place to be.

For the future is already here
and the past is no longer relevant

You can only take the leap of faith to decide
that now is the best time to be alive

And make the most of this Holy Instant Now

For when you do, Oh when you do.
You change the past and you change the future
for they can have no control of you.

There is no other way for you to have your way
so live within this day and change your very thought

So it can have the sway over all your by-gone days
and all your future too.

It’s really up to you, this moment that is true
depends on me and you
to cooperate, to dedicate, to contemplate, to concentrate,
to appreciate, to demonstrate, to celebrate, to officiate,

For life is for the living NOW
There is no other time
for I have made you mine.
You can only lose your mind
If you take it out of mine.

You are all a part of me and I know that you will see
ME living in you, as you, and through you.
But not for you and not only you
For I am in everyone of you
See me in everyone you see.

Don’t condemn any part of me
I am able to give you Light
When you realize to your delight
That I am the light that shines from within
each person no matter how dim.

No matter how you think of him.
For good and bad is only your way
of making your words construct things your way
Good and bad are only your rules
of what you want and what you’ll see

The truth is that I am a God of ONE
My law is Love and only Love.
You can not break it into its opposite
For nothing else can oppose it.

You are only fooling yourself to think
that you can make anything but love.
No one using hate has made anything that last

The truth about what you have made out of fear
is just that it is an illusion.
I know this sounds queer, but illusions are happening all around you.

To help you remember and to know what you can do.
You have the power within yourself
to make your world behave itself.

I have given you the dominion but you gave it away
and now you can decide to take it back.

When you can remember the one that you are is God
Then you will discover that you are one with it all.
The sunset, the trees, the sea and the breeze

the plant in the ground, the worm in the dirt
but also the star that shines above.
Your everywhere present, your everywhere love.

Oh when you remember
you re-member me.
You bring me together with love, can’t you see.

You get out your own special ways of expressing
All of the love my heart is out-pressing.

You find love in everyone only when you
know that your looking for me in them too.

For your narrow minded ways of thinking you are separate
have made for you senseless things that won’t last.
They are temporary, they all pass away.
Your doctrines, your rituals, your do-it-my-way.
Your smug little feeling of superiority
Is something you use to deny my authority.

We don’t get to heaven by refusing to see
the simple fact that everyone is me.

My love is a transforming power you see
and hate has not power to do things my way.
For hate draws the user into its own self
and nothing is possible to build that will last.

It builds nothing, it destroys nothing, it is nothing.
For you see hate is only a thought you have thought
And it is a thought you have thought because of fear

Because you won’t remember that I’m here, in you, in all.
Hate is only a thought you have thought.
I’ve given it no power but you have.

It is not real unless you make it real.
It is something that you made when you got into fear.
Your fear is your own illusion, not mine.
I won’t have any part of it, nor of anger or pain.

I’ll have no part of believing this way.
For love is my nature,
Love is all that I know.

I don’t know judgment for why would I judge
you when I see you as me?

I don’t know punishment for why should I hurt myself?

I don’t know doubt for I am certainty.

I am that I am
And you are that you are
But what are you going to make of yourself?
What is it that you are?
You can only be what you think and say.
And what you think and say are how you create.
For you are the potter
And you are the clay.

You are the thinker and
You are the thought.
