A battle is waged In the deep of me, An epic struggle 'Tween sand and sea, Where one resists The other, so free... Yet, no loss or gain Marks Eternity.
If all things are means, Then means are the end, Our pleasures and pains But a river's bend; So flow, flow on my soul, Let go . . . once again.
I want you to remember for the rest of your life on this earth that you were never created to be the slave of any negative thought or feeling, that you were never created to be the subject of some limitation. The only way you'll ever know the truth of that statement is when, through what is ultimately a long process in this education of the soul, you begin at last to experience the dawning o...
And I saw a vision of a gleaming white castle with a narrow footpath leading up to its great white gates. This walkway -- extending out from the gates as far as the eye could see -- was so worn that it appeared to the eye as a kind of cut-mark several feet deep. And when I asked a nearby angel as to the nature of this Bright Place -- and why the path leading up to it was so well-worn, she repl...
When it comes to the possibility of spiritual rebirth, it isn't that God does not will this for all of his earth-clad children. Quite the contrary: In this world of ours the goodness of God's Will is always active through his Son. What nullifies the birth of this eternal Life within us is that we have yet to learn how to ask and receive it. What is freely offered to us goes unaccepted because...
Life will fill Whatever you empty... And whatever you fill, Life will empty. That's the code; The hidden conduct of contentment Wrapped in mystery, Filled with contradiction. No sense in trying to save yourself By holding out; Nothing you have held onto Has filled the hole, has it? Then be hollow. Let the winds of change Play you instead of punish you. Give it away!...
With one hand He gives, with the other He takes Filling and emptying the soul, Carving out receptivity to His Name With each deft blow of His soul-sculpturing hands. I am never full, nor ever bereft. Neither am I, But all is He. I am His form. No other form have I And it is to the shelter of His Name He guides me Regardless of how He shapes me. God wants me to want only Him;...
Topics covered: We never have a plan, a desire, or an expectation that does not have a momentum that comes along with it; You can learn from everything that you encounter in life, instead of becoming the captive of resistance to what you meet. Instead of being used by fear, you can use fear to free you; You don't know that you walk around with a desire to be left alone until someone or something bothers you...

Topics covered: What usually follows a moment of regret is not a change of consciousness, but instead a new set of justifications to explain why we did what we did; We are easily "triggered" because we are loaded with pain, the weight of the past, and we don't know what do to with it; It is impossible to let go with one hand, and hold on with the other. That is not real letting go...

Topics Covered: Our life is intended to be an infinite series of revelations of higher levels of ourselves; Within us lives not only what is high and light, but what is also low and dark, waiting to be revealed so that it can be healed; As goes my attention, so comes my experience. Attention is connection; To connect with something is to agree, whether conscious or not, to exchange energies with that thing.

Topics Covered: You cannot understand your life through the level of consciousness that is the source of confusion; You can't convince a human being that there is something in them that can't wait to hate its life or feel sorry for itself; The one thing that people won't sell is their hope in things seen. It is the hope in things seen that is the source of fear; The false self doesn't exist...
