If we wish a life that is whole and loving, one that is filled with new light, then we must sow the eternal seeds of Truth within ourselves.

Dissatisfaction is a psychological storm that every human being experiences. The truth is that dissatisfaction is actually a kind of growing pain, but to our present consciousness, it seems like a curse. We try to put an end to any feeling of dissatisfaction by reinventing ourselves so that we never have to feel that way again. Presently the nature that is dissatisfied sets us out to find som...

No human being has any authority over you. Your life belongs to you and to you alone. No scowling face or irritated manner, no challenging posture or threatening tone has any power to make you feel nervous or anxious, frightened or angry. What this means is that if we are not living life completely on our own terms -- if there is anyone in our life that dominates us...

When you go outside on a beautiful day and step into the sunlight, do you have to try to enjoy the warmth? Or is the warmth of the sun just part of what is there, and you are a part of it? Similarly, real meditation is effortless. It is the fulfillment of natural relationship, not the attempt on our part to create relationship. Your being itself is meditating, as it is a natural part of the wh...

I can think of no greater encouragement in this life than the self-evident truth that within each of us dwells something Extraordinary. By "Extraordinary" I don't mean any one condition or sensation born of a particularly exciting experience or even the long-awaited realization of some special achievement. The meaning of Extraordinary I wish to convey goes far beyond all such isolated crowni...

There is a very old, familiar expression that states, "The journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step." That commonly used phrase has a great interior, spiritual meaning. It is saying, "Wherever you are, whatever you have to do, no matter what it is that is in front of you... Just start!" Anyone who has ever done some sort of physical exercise on a regular basis knows that sometimes th...

Can you fail at wanting to do something? No, it is impossible to fail at wanting to do something. When everything is said and done, what your heart of hearts wants is to have no doubts whatsoever that you spent your life wanting God's life. There is no such thing as failure in a sincere wish for God's life; in truth, the success is in the wish itself. A sincere wish holds no fear, unless it b...

Every human being on this planet is created to love something. The problem is that, for the vast majority of us, the part of us intended to love something was crushed right out of the gate. That part of us was crushed by the idea that "I must become something special", which requires that I must get all stirred up to do something that I have no love for. We have parts of us that demand that we...

The following five lessons are higher insights rarely discussed among the spiritually uninitiated because of the measurable effect that their strong medicine causes in the soul. But not only do these teachings help summarize the prescription for a free and happy life, they also present the case for why we need such a healing. Welcome these truths into your mind and watch how their refreshing v...

One of the problems that we face as human beings is that our senses separate us from what we see. If you have ever been physically sick, you know that prior to being sick, you were virtually unaware of the fact that you were healthy. So were it not for physical sickness, we would never know gratitude for health. Health and sickness are not separate things. We usually resist, reject, and refus...

Our real "problem" with others isn't that they won't or can't give to us what we want from them. As we're about to discover, the true seed of discontent lies deeper than this. The short writing you're about to read is intended to help shed light on the real source of our unrest in our relationships. ----------- The less we learn to long for -- or depend upon -- Special understanding from o...

Real enthusiasm is expressed in us each time we encounter what we have never encountered before. And in that encounter, we have actually uncovered something within ourselves that we have never seen before. Most of us today live our lives on the sidelines...just looking at things. We don't really experiment with our lives anymore. But the truth is that every moment of your life holds the poss...
