Part 1
We live within... and under an unseen Law: whatever we resist -- deny or reject -- about our past is destined to become a part of our future.
Part 2
Weakness always excuses weakness... because it fears itself.
Talk Takeaways
There are almost an infinite number of ways that people excuse their way through life. Everyone walks around with a false friend named MOE, which stands for "Master Of Excuses."
We are not supposed to prove our perfection. Instead we are meant to be perfected through using the moment and its relationships for revelation and self-knowledge.
All things in nature are incomplete because they are ceaselessly being created. Perfection is never a static state. The mind that is trying to be perfect, according to its own images of perfection, is in an illusion.
The soul is always asking for what it needs to complete itself, and what the soul needs is always being given freely. There is, however, a part of us that rejects and blocks what the soul needs.
There is no true request that does not have a true response.
Darkness tries to convince human beings that the revelation of a temporary limitation is the same as a permanent weakness.
What is a limitation? A limitation is whatever stands between us and the realization of our next highest possibility.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears... because something in the student is asking for the teacher.
The awakened life is about getting to point where there can be no more excuses for the way you are. There is only the revelation of yourself as you are.
You cannot give up an addiction until you finally stop excusing yourself and see your actual state of helplessness. The truth that sets us free is the same as the revelation and release of a temporary limitation.
Any limitation must be consciously realized through revelation before it can be changed. Anything within us that is incomplete is made to be completed.
The nature that makes excuses is not interested in changing itself.
There is no need to make an excuse for what we are in any given moment.
The nature that justifies itself and creates excuses is doing so in order to hide from revelation. The more that we excuse mistakes, the more mistakes we will make because the mistaken nature has not been revealed, which is the essential step toward correcting any mistake.
Every revelation is intended to produce a shock for the purpose of change. The wrong thing to do with the moment is to avoid the shock of revelation.
Think of common excuses, and refuse to go along with the reasons the mind hands to you for being the way you are. Let the revelation be. Find no fault in the revelation, don't judge it, and don't give it a name.
Make an intention to never again be "JERC-ed" around by the excuse-making machine. "JERC" being an acronym for "Justifying, Excusing, Rationalizing, Covering-Up."
The soul receives the light it needs when there are no excuses that avoid the revelation of ourselves in the moment.
