Awareness

If you know the content of your own heart ... If you can be consciously aware of this condition ... Then you not only know the secret contents Of the heart of everyone else you meet, But you also know that there is no difference Between you and all of these "others" In the realization of this undivided life You are given the Grace of knowing That God is one ... And that each one...

Anticipation is a special kind of awareness where one is united with the spirit of what comes prior to its arrival...

You wish, and then rush, to free yourself from your sorrows, but refuse to change the beliefs causing them...which is like jumping off the Ferris wheel onto the merry-go-round in the hopes of bringing an end to your dizziness. Any attempt to protect yourself from emptiness only creates the illusion of it...along with an imaginary self that believes it can somehow outrun this unwanted nothing.

Key Lesson: 
Whatever storms you are given to face on your long journey back home, work to remember this truth... and be assured the day will dawn when you will know the unconditional freedom you seek: Your struggle is with yourself, and yourself only.

Part 1: No evil can be done to me save for those moments when -- enmeshed in a forgetfulness not my own -- I can’t remember the Good.

Part 2: The pain of a thousand failed attempts to remember oneself, to put what is true before all else, not only disappears in the flash of each success, but that same light lingers, grows, and eventually comes to outshine the return of any shadow of doubt.

Remastered Classic Talk: 6/14/17 - Being renewed by Life, and beginning your life all over again are one and the same interior action: it starts with becoming aware of, and then bringing a conscious end to all lingering relationships you may have with old thoughts and feelings that want you to keep seeing your life through their eyes.

Key Lesson: Awareness of the moment is our consciousness of it. So, the more aware we can be of the whole of our consciousness in any moment, the less there is for us to think about -- let alone try to do, because awareness cannot act against itself. Why? Because the light of awareness isn't divided into what it is aware of, and what it knows about it. It simply sees what is, and that whatever is one with that light is Good.

Remastered Classic Talk: 12/14/16 - Speculation, speculation: thy true name is doubt, and thy brother is fear.

It is a celestial Law: whatever we resist, we cannot overcome. But there is a still greater Divine Law that the Light that creates shadows is empowered -- before their time began -- to transform and dispel them.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/21/16 - What good is the love of Truth without standing up for the freedom it promises to those whom love it? This means that we must attend to, embrace, and then enact what is Light, Right, and True, even in the midst of all that may seem wrong within or around us. Only by daring to bring this intention into the midst of any such dark moment are we given to see -- first hand -- how His unfailing strength is made perfect in whatever may be our weakness.

Remastered Classic Talk: 9/09/15 - We live within a dynamic field of celestial energies whose natural opposition to one another ceaselessly creates what we feel as a "disturbance" within us: moments when primal active forces meet what naturally resists them, giving birth to an order of suffering that's part of the process of creation. It is only in the presence of these higher energies -- at the peak, actually -- that the forces needed for our transfiguration become available; for in our dawning awareness that their supernal struggle is one and the same as our own -- and in our willingness to consciously suffer their Divinely ordained union -- it is no longer "we" who are aware, but rather we are brought into that timeless awareness itself... from out of which these opposing forces have come, and back into which they return.

Remastered Classic Talk: 8/24/16 - Spiritual wisdom is our greatest wealth and, as we realize the truth of this -- so that true self-knowledge becomes our single greatest wish in life -- each moment of every one of our relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of ourselves.
