Forgiveness / Blame

To change what we receive from life, we must have a new perception of it, beginning with new ideas about it.

Other people do not create any disturbance we feel in the relationship. They are revealing to us in that moment the part of us that lays in the dark and waits to get disturbed so it can hide behind the cloud of war.

Feeling compelled to act as the judge and jury of another for failing to exhibit some desirable characteristic or quality, proves the absence of that quality in ourselves.

We must learn to take the true conscious initiative with each other and then -- based in our understanding of this great spiritual law that governs harmonious relationships -- make the effort to be to others what we wish them to be for us.

By and large, everything we condemn in others is just a way of hiding something similar within ourselves.

It is impossible to change the relationship we have with the world around us without changing the relationship we have in ourselves, with ourselves.

We are spiritually free when we no longer want anything to do with sitting in judgment of others, regardless of their perceived transgression.

Awake! Detect and reject despair! It is not the guiding light it seems to be, but it is a cold heat that compromi...

When another human being falls short of our expectations and we realize that what we want is not going to happen, there is a way for us to elevate ourselves and the other person in that same moment.

Your True Self doesn't win in life by overpowering problems, but by revealing they never really existed as you once believed they did.

Higher inner awareness grants you patience and new forms of consideration, because now you realize just how much pain everyone is really in.
