Whenever we find ourselves confused, depressed, angry with someone, or upset with ourselves for whatever reasons, we must come wide awake and realize -- through our inner awareness -- that we suffer as we do because we are ruled in these moments by our own thoughts and feelings.

What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life. The treasure of our heart both measures and determines our wealth, or our inner poverty. But not everything we love in life loves us back. Not everything we serve serves us as we imagine. Only the Divine, the light of Truth, never fails us... never. There's only one reason why we ever find ourselves confused, depressed, angry with s...

Keeping the company of Truth is as simple as always working inwardly to be as truthful with ourselves as it is possible for us to be.

The unconscious mind forever distorts everything it sees in order to justify its concealed intentions.

Here is a simple but perfect truth... so simple, virtually no one sees it, and so perfect, it dispenses justice fairly to all: We become what we love.

The true nature of anything -- whether a newly opened leaf or a fearful thought or feeling -- is inseparable from what it serves.

It is our mistaken belief this idea is saying that all of our desires will be fulfilled simply by asking God, and that our "order" should be filled to our exact specifications as quickly as possible. Most of us have to learn the hard way about what it...

Within the space of each beat of your heart, you get the exact measure of the answer you gave to life the moment before.
