Human beings are endowed with certain features in their nature that may allow them to choose what they become. And since the choice is not whether to become one thing or another, but rather in whose likeness we are becoming, the wise among us see this fact and work accordingly to align ourselves with those forces intuited to be for the highest good. Then their goodness becomes our own, and our...

When you don't -- when you consciously won't -- express some negative state, you are literally asking for awareness of a higher self.

Somewhere in a remote region of the Southwestern United States, a park ranger was seated in his high tower. It overlooked the deep canyons and ravines that ran through the national park where he'd worked for the past twenty years.

Topics covered: There are three forces that are essential in the action of creation: an active force, a passive force, and a reconciling force; Is there any painful moment in our lives that is not preceded by resistance to something?; There can't be resistance without something in our consciousness that describes the moment and blames its pain on something outside of itself.

Topics Covered: We are overtaken by the "will of the negative" anytime we go into imagination about what we have to do to escape from an unwanted moment; All creatures in nature have a will that is not their own will, but belong to greater nature herself.
