Handbook for the Soul
Richard Carlson and Benjamin Shield
An anthology of original writings by thirty-two of today's most renowned spiritual teachers.

1 "Growth of the soul is our goal, and there are many ways to encourage that growth, such as through love, nature, healing our wounds, forgiveness, and service." Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.

2 "Love really is the answer. We're here only to teach love. When we're doing that, our souls are singing and dancing….The essence of our being is love." Gerald Jampolsky, M.D.

3 "We're sisters and brothers in the family of God, and therefore we are of each other's nature." Steven R. Covey, Ph.D.

4 "Everything that's presented to us is a learning tool, another way to contact our soul." Angeles Arrien, 'Gateway to the Soul'

5 "I don't separate God from my world in my thinking. I feel that God is everywhere. That's why I never feel separated from God or feel I must seek God, any more than a fish in the ocean feels it must seek water. In a sense, God is the 'ocean' in which we live." Robert Fulghum, philosopher and essayist

6 "Everything can be seen as a miracle, part of God's plan. And when we truly see this, we nourish our souls." Rabbi Harold Kushner

7 "Love is the universe….the universe is woven out of a fabric of love." Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.

8 "We are here to learn about love, to let others love us, to discover that love is a living force – real, broad, encompassing." Melody Beattie, 'Lessons of Love

9 "We are responsible for one another. Collectively so. The world is a joint effort. We might say it is like a giant puzzle, and each one of us is a very important and unique part of it. Collectively, we can unite and bring about a powerful change in the world. By working to raise our awareness to the highest possible level of spiritual understanding, we can begin to heal ourselves, then each other and the world." Betty Eadie, 'The Divine Spirit'

10 "As long as people have been on this planet, we have been striving to live in connection with soul, to go forward with an open heart." Melody Beattie, 'Lessons of Love, Lessons of Hope'

11 "Truth always goes with love. You can't experience the truth of another person without feeling love. Understanding and love go together. When we nourish the soul, we automatically nourish our capacity to love another person." Jacob Needleman, Ph.D.

12 "As the ancients said, the soul is realized in love." Phil Cousineau, 'Soul Is A Verb'

13 "I believe we are all part of a universal soul. At some level, we are all the same. We are all connected. Everyone in our drama is a facet of ourselves, and we are a facet of them. We are all facets of the same energy – an energy possessing incredible wisdom and love." Brian Weiss, M.D.
