…Now are there any questions, please? Q: Could you relate what you said tonight about forgiveness to your chapter called The Pruning Shears of Revision? A: Yes, definitely. Revision is forgiveness. I tried to freshen it as it were, because the word today…after 2,000 years the ship has grown barnacles.

…Every being in the world is called upon to rise and to walk out, for he forgives your sin. He comes into the world only to free man of sin. I don’t care what you’ve ever done in this world. Don’t look back. Don’t look upon the things as they are. Look upon things, as they ought to be. The man that you would like to be, assume that you are it; the woman that you would like to be, assume that you ar…

…Now read carefully that 119th Psalm. It’s a long one, 176 verses, but it wouldn’t take you too long.

So when our priesthoods of the world forgive you and meet you on the street an hour later and still remember your confession, they haven’t for…

…They two, who have already given themselves over to the state of a thief, they had to actually come right into the line. I took the first line then I move over to the third line because I saw it moving more rapidly, so he comes over to the third line and plays his part beautifully.

…Get things if you want them. But there is something far beyond the mere getting of things. But if you want [to] imagine things, they are here. Do not deny yourself anything you desire, unless you would be gaining by another’s alleged loss. That is not the way to do it. You do not take from anyone.
