Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

The GOOD LORD says humble thyself. I follow Him, for he has the greatest wisdom of all. I am not one to play follow the leader and have someone lead me around like a dog on a leash. I don't believe in the scare tactics our government is trying to rule us by. We are worse off than we were before. Humble thyself, do not raise yourself up on a pedestal, because when you gloat and place yourself on a pedestal, you are partaking in self worship, and there is no one other than our Heavenly Father to worship.
No, our strength is not in ourselves, our strength is with God. We are not liberators, not in these wars anyway. They were started based on lies, continued based on lies, it all stinks.
Don't get me wrong, I support the troops 110%, I support the war on terrorists, but you can't fight a war on terrorism as that is just a tactic, and an ideal.

He didn't write it....its out of "The Course of Miracles" An athiest wrote supposedly inspired by Jesus. She didn't believe in him before and isn't sure she believes in him now.

That's great. So true, 'cause it's our fears that bring about fear in others. Our confidence that brings about confidence. Our strength that brings about strength in others

If he really wrote it, I'd contact his company commander and let the commander know he needs to get some help for that corporal.

♣ David, I can’t explain this or maybe I can, but I’m not sure you’d care. My animal instinct says: beware of this man.
♥ to Cordelia; really? You are astonishing! Thank you!

New age psychobabble?
This could have come from Jesus or Mein Kampf. It's rather amorphous and could do harm in the wrong mindset.
