====Lighting the Way in You====
* No matter who you are, where you are, or what you are doing, these words are for you, sent to you in the creative radiance of the ever-sounding song of the universe; and as they are filled with the spirit of love, they shall surely accomplish that whereunto they are sent. Peace be unto you.
** Lighting the Way in You, published by Emissaries of Divine Light, 1977, p. 3
* On entering the Way in you, exchange sorrow for joy, suffering for peace, weakness for strength, ignorance for wisdom, uncertainty for tranquility, vacillation for unwavering poise, worry, fear, hate for love, darkness for light, and death for life.
** Lighting the Way in You, published by Emissaries of Divine Light, 1977, p. 4, 5

==== Seven Steps to the Temple of Light ====
* The physical body is Real and beautiful beyond words to describe--it is Wonderful beyond all the imaginings of mankind. In it are revealed the secret things of God. Through it work the Cosmic Forces of the Universe. Evil results from material things, including the physical body of man, only when the Cosmic Laws of Being are ignored.
** Seven Steps to the Temple of Light, 1977, 2010, p. 17, 18
* Love is the Fire of Fusion whereby the outer self is uplifted into oneness with the Master within.
** Seven Steps to the Temple of Light, 1977, 2010, p. 43
==== A Home Among the Stars ==== 
From the shining citadels<br>
Of Raira’s eternal sphere,<br>
Where we had lived and served<br>
Through countless ages,<br>
We journeyed forth into the deep<br>
Of space unlighted,<br>
That in the vast void of nothingness—<br>
The desert places of the cosmos,<br>
The unused wilderness between the suns—<br>
We might build a place of habitation;<br>
A mansion in the boundless heavens,<br>
And a Home among the stars.<br>
<br>
==== The Divine Design of Man ====
* The whole purpose of creation is, actually, to provide a means by which all the various aspects of center that are present in essence, or in the embryonic pattern, may have expanded manifestation in the field of creation.
** The Divine Design of Man, Volume 2, 1977, p. 343
==== Through to Victory ====
* If walls can stop you, you will be stopped. If human beings can upset you, you will be upset. If discouragement can turn you aside, you will be turned aside... It is only for those who refuse to stop for ANY wall, who KEEP RIGHT ON GOING, that there can be any true sharing in the VICTORY.
** Through to Victory, 1977
==== The Third Sacred School ====
* The way is obviously the way of love, symbolized by fire. The Shekinah fire is that which we speak of as the fire of love in the sense of the divine pattern. The light of truth is that which must be recognized as being identical with the light that glows. And the cloud that fills the temple and shines round about is life in active expression as it is born from the union of love and truth.
** Uranda, The Third Sacred School, Volume 1, 1980, All-Encompassing Shekinah, p. 86
* Creation is eternal. It never ends. It never began. It is, and was, and will be, eternally. Thus is the law of eternal progress made possible. The eternal progress of the Positive Center, God, which includes the Divine Being within each individual, is not a progress of inner soul development, but ever a progress in further creative activity; i.e., continual creation. 
** Uranda, The Third Sacred School, Volume 3, 1981, Creation: From the Triune Ray, p. 5
* In the pattern of the program initiated on earth by the Third Sacred School, we have the Church of the Emissaries of Divine Light. To our mind the Master's command reestablished on earth that first creative command, "Let there be light: and there was light." In opening the cycles of re-creation and restoration, opening the pattern of resurrection and rebirth, our Master said, "Let"--again that creative word--"Let your light so shine." There we recognize action, movement, doing. "Let your light so shine." Where? "Before men"--on earth in our daily lives--so shine on earth among our fellows that they may see our works, the things we actually do; not just that they shall hear what we talk about or what we claim, but that they may see the works of our lives. And do what? to what end? "And glorify your Father which is in heaven."
** The Third Sacred School, Volume 3, 1981, Behold, I Create, p. 178
==== A Daily Quotation of Uranda ====
Take courage, dear fellow-student, the Way is before you.<br> 
Say with the great discoverer of the new world, 'Sail on, sail on, sail on.'<br> 
The crew on your ship of life may want to turn back, and they may threaten to mutiny—<br>
but stand firm on the Master Seaman’s Bridge, and give the com­mand, 'Sail on!'

** A Daily Quotation of Uranda, p. 52
* Let Love Radiate without concern for results.
** A Daily Quotation of Uranda, p. 39
