My husband drinks too much. The problem I have with that (aside from it being deadly to his health) is his mean-spirited attitude toward me after he drinks. He says negative things about me that he would not normally say while sober. The crazy thing about it is, the next day he is repentant, telling me how much he loves me and how he would be nothing without me. How do I elevate myself above c...

What's wrong with knowing that someone or something outside of me is responsible for making me feel unhappy? Over and over I fall into the trap of wanting to lash out and blame other people for what seem to me to be injustices in their actions.

Student Talks: 5/12/2023 - Key Lesson: There can be no "life after death" without realizing an order of Love that has no fear of dying. This Timeless Witness to its (own) creation doesn't see death as the end of life, but rather as its invisible partner in a ceaseless act of love.
