Our willingness to see the difference between real and false strength brings about an inner change that puts us in an entirely new relationship with life.

Much of our time is spent identifying the so-called cause of our discontented states, and the rest of our time is taken up trying to change our unwanted situations into what we imagine will better suit our pleasure. Of course this description puts a kind of positive spin on what amounts to one's never-ending whirl of wishes, but the facts are that these dreams of a better time to come do not o...

We go through life looking for approval from others. This unending search for approval runs deep inside of us as we unknowingly nurture a relationship with the idea that if we could just be accepted, then little by little we would come to know who we are. We actually buy into the notion that if we could get enough people to approve of us, then this ache in our soul that is always trying to fig...

The only way to leave the world of feeling sorry for yourself is to deliberately leave the world of thought.

Day in and day out, our minds are literally swamped -- socially, culturally, economically -- with new ideas, fail-proof programs, promises of special places... things that, if we could only acquire them, would quiet our restless minds and hearts. So it goes that most of us are always running after something to quiet that nagging sense of feeling as though we're incomplete. But repeated experie...

How do I find some way to feel good about something that I have no interest in? If I am trying to motivate myself, it means that I have no real interest in what I am doing. Why would I even want to try to motivate myself to do something that I have no passion for? Why would I run myself through the same loops that I have already seen as being empty? The answer is that we human beings have bee...

There is an ancient idea, perhaps best expressed in the New Testament, which states that before a human being can hope to awaken, he or she must have not enemies. When you lie to someone, you have automatically made an enemy because you will always resist that person out of fear that he or she will expose your lie at any given moment. Therefore, not only have we made an enemy when we lie, we a...

No one can hope to know the joy of true personal freedom without knowing the truth of spiritual peace. Freedom and peace are as kite and wind; the former remains grounded without the latter. This is to say that before we will feel ourselves being lifted above the conflict and illusions of this world, peace must become conscious within us. Peace is the foundation, freedom the form built upon it...

Question: In your various books and audio products, you often mention the idea that we should "want what Life wants, accept what God gives to us." Do you mean that we should not visualize what we would like to manifest for ourselves? Is that wrong to do? Is having expectations for a better journey in life an illusion? Answer: There is nothing wrong at all with visualizing what one wan...

Are failures in life inevitable? Does the Higher Power, once attained, see to it that we only succeed? Try to understand the difference between living from something within yourself, whose nature is contentment itself, and living from those parts of yourself that are forever seeking contentment. For the man or woman who persists with the wish for Truth/God to be first in life, there reall...
