Acceptance
Accept what comes to you totally and completely so that you can appreciate it, learn from it, and then let it go.
Journey Into Healing: Awakening the Wisdom Within You , 1994

Appearance / Form
Although our package of skin and bones looks very convincing, it is a mask, an illusion, disguising our true self, which has no limitations.
Ibid.

Attention / Awareness
Any cell, tissue, or organ is capable of crying out for attention, and when you give it some, the healing process begins.
Ibid.

Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life.

Consciousness is nothing but awareness, the composite of all the things we pay attention to.

Attitude
The impulses of energy and information that create our life experiences are reflected in our attitudes toward life. And our attitudes are an outcome of and expressions of self-engendered impulses of energy and information.
Creating Affluence , 1993

Autonomy / Control
We are the only creatures on earth who can change our biology by what we think and feel.
Journey Into Healing: Awakening the Wisdom Within You , 1994

Being / Essence / Soul
The real you is a nonlocal field of information that is trapped in space and time by the body and mind. Your soul, the thinker of thoughts, finds expression through the mind and body, but when body and brain are destroyed, nothing happens to the real you. The unconditional spirit is not energy or matter, it is in the silent spaces between our thoughts.
Ibid.

When you get in touch with the part of yourself that is eternal and nonchanging, you have true knowledge of your own immortality, and fear melts away like snow in the summer breeze.
Ibid.

Cause
If you look closely at your own life, you will realize that you are sending signals to your body that repeat the same old fears and wishes, the same old habits of yesterday and the day before. That is why you are stuck with the same old body.
Ibid.

The biochemistry of the body is the product of awareness. Beliefs, thoughts, and emotions create the chemical reactions that uphold life in every cell.
