Raymond Holliwell

American Teacher

"Each experience through which we pass operates ultimately for our good. This is a correct attitude to adopt and we must be able to see it in that light."

"Desire creates the power."

"No matter what we want from life we have to give up something in order to get it."

"God does not require you to follow His leading on blind trust. Behold the evidence of an invisible intelligence pervading everything, even you own mind and body."

"Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of it causes the least to take on the magnitude of complexity."

"Science has defined a variety of natural laws that explain the physical world and how it changes. One such law states that for every action there is a reaction, and that for every motion there is corresponding counter-motion. Whether it’s visible to the human eye or not, one thing is certain – movement and change will occur as a result. Having studied these principles, author Raymond Holliwell not only understood the universal physical applications, he also understood the spiritual and mental applications as well. By using this law on a spiritual and mental level, Holliwell found that a specific thought could create a desired reaction in his personal and professional life through continual and dedicated practice. As he came to realize the expanded potential of this powerful law, he eventually recognized the ultimate source of the dramatic results – God."

"Are we controlled by our thoughts, or are we controlling our thoughts? "

"The inner thought coming from the heart represents the real motives and desires. These are the cause of action. "

"To give your best is to receive the best. "

"You must see first before you can believe."
