Deep Down In Your Heart Know That All Is Well. Understand That The Universe Is Your Friend And Can Never Hurt You. It Is The Substratum Of All Existence Which Is Love! When You Develop A Loving Consciousness There Can Be No Problems. Love Takes Care Of Everything. Love Is The Same As Absolute Awareness, Pure Intelligence, Or The Power Of God. When You Have Enough Love Inside, There Are Truly No Problems. Problems Only Arise When You Believe You Are Separate And Lacking Love.
