A great poem, a timeless stanza of thought, a true writing that stirs and swells the heart; what are these precious forms save a moment of Love plucked from Time to stand as testimony to a perfection briefly remembered as the living foundation of all things. The poet is presented the proposal, the moment where the Great Pain beckons him to marriage. He is awakened from a slumber to answer th...
If the nature of this world, if its reality is as we have been led to believe by our society at large, then one's daily dose of suffering is sure to be seen as undesirable and, above all, unnecessary; a thing to avoid at all costs, that with ample fortune or favor we may hope to escape altogether. But if the Reality of our individual lives, its True Measure of Success is not to be determined...
There are certain Laws that govern one's progress along the Path to real Freedom: these are Timeless Truths whose Principles regulate the possibility of rebirth through the transformation of one's being. Of course these Laws may be disputed (by those so willing), but the outcome of resisting or refusing their authority breeds not just suffering, but to the soul's corruption which, in turn, lea...
Man, as God imagined, is as eternal in nature as is God's thought of him so being. The life of this eternal person is the Christ, whose Living Light is to this, our immortal soul, as is blood to our physical body. When a person has come to know a true love for the Christ, this love is more something he is held by, and not something that he holds of himself within himself. So that true...
And I saw a vision of a gleaming white castle with a narrow footpath leading up to its great white gates. This walkway -- extending out from the gates as far as the eye could see -- was so worn that it appeared to the eye as a kind of cut-mark several feet deep. And when I asked a nearby angel as to the nature of this Bright Place -- and why the path leading up to it was so well-worn, she repl...
We are, at our innermost core, instruments of the Divine... And the Divine is the Absolute: the total potential realms of all that is Light and Dark. We are unique creatures in the secret Essence of this unending expanse because not only are we the living instruments of all possible reflections along with their corresponding intonations, but we may know that we "sing " these colors; we may...
We must not fear these wild pulsations of hope-filled feelings too deep to hold... for they have an accord with themselves, and their own path to follow. These sometimes too strong stirrings of that unbearable wish for a compassion that can embrace all of creation must not be dampened simply because we don't understand the pressing of their presence in us. They are not asking us to know what...
When it comes to the possibility of spiritual rebirth, it isn't that God does not will this for all of his earth-clad children. Quite the contrary: In this world of ours the goodness of God's Will is always active through his Son. What nullifies the birth of this eternal Life within us is that we have yet to learn how to ask and receive it. What is freely offered to us goes unaccepted because...
Here is a great, but unseen, psychological Truth that once realized sets us upon the true spiritual path leading to Real Love and its Perfect Freedom: What frightens us about others is what we want from them; and what we want (from others) is largely what we have imagined is in their power to either give to us, do to us, or withhold from us. And so, whether we live with the fear of our love...
Anticipation is a special kind of awareness where one is united with the spirit of what comes prior to its arrival...
While experience may serve as the path to self-knowledge, still it remains the lesser half of the path to self knowing.
We imagine the impossible for ourselves to temporarily look upon ourselves as doers of greatness. Work to do the possible by conquering our own self-created imaginings.
