    No anxious state exists apart from the illusion that the security, happiness, and wholeness you long for exists somewhere outside of you -- "in a time to come." Then why do we go on embracing anxious thoughts and feelings that do nothing but steal from us our love of life? The surprising answer to this question is the same as opening the door to a life free of anxious thoughts and feelings. W...

    We all know what it is like to be held captive of the little things in life -- those petty concerns and small desires that steal their way into how we look at our lives and pit us against anyone or anything seen as trying to take away our anticipated desire. Here is a short list of these little troublemakers that often make big trouble for us whenever we mistake them for being our friends: 1.

    For the most part we treat everyone in our lives the same way every time that we meet them, completely ignoring the fact that everyone experiences seasons of the heart and changes of the mind. This means that when we interact with others, we are not really meeting them in true relationship at all. Then what is it that we are actually meeting if not the other person? The answer is that we are m...

    An unattended mind breeds defeat. When we are not present to ourselves, whether we see it or not, we are breeding defeat. Energy is wasted in the mind that is unattended. When we are not attentive, our minds spend our vital life energy wrapped up in fruitless pursuits. Simply put, our minds are always working on something, even when we're not there! Wouldn't you like to be involved in decidin...

    We're all familiar with the general idea that in a moment of crisis a person ought to be able to remember what is right and true. We want to remember that there is an ideal aspect of our character within us that the circumstance we find ourselves going through has seemingly made disappear. We have all struggled the best that we know how to be the embodiment of that ideal, and there are definit...

    If you want something to flower, you have to put it out into the light. It is the light that makes things flower. Spiritual work is very simple on one hand, but on the other hand it is not easy due to the parts of us that want to keep us in the dark. In reality, there is nothing that stands in the way of you bringing the whole of yourself into the light of the moment. The light is always bran...

    There is not a person on earth that does not suffer from what something inside of him or her loves. A man who is addicted to a drug suffers over what something within him loves, at the cost of his own mortality. A woman with a gambling addiction suffers because of what something within her loves, at the cost of her finances, relationships, and integrity. We spend our time doing what we love.

    At all times everything, everywhere, is unfolding as it must. Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view. In down-to-earth terms, to resent the person who cuts you off in traffic does nothing to change either that scary moment now passed, or the sleeping nature of...

    The best time to practice going quiet -- to detect and drop dark inner voices -- is when the world around you is more or less already in a natural state of silence. So, early morning, upon arising, and just before you go to sleep, are the most likely times to yield the best results. But, as you'll no doubt come to discover for yourself, any time is the right time to go quiet. Find a place...

    As paradoxical as it seems, the reason most of us find no lasting peace in life is because our mind is forever trying to find something outside itself in which it can rest. This condition is not unlike the little fish that, unhappy with just swimming around, went in search of water -- its hope being that if it could find what it was looking for then it would also find what was missing from i...

    This is Memorial Day. This is a day in which many people go to the cemetery to visit the graves of loved ones who have died, many of whom lost their lives in armed combat. But in addition to visiting the graves of those who have died, there is something else that is very important to remember... All True scripture has an inner meaning that is verifiable and directly applicable right now in th...

    Whenever we're anxious or rushing around, we are not in command of ourselves; seen clearly, it's evident that something within us has taken charge of our life and is telling us that if we can just get here or do this, then we'll be free. So we give ourselves, willingly, to this inner taskmaster whose hardened hands push us -- over and over again -- to rush, rush, rush. Why? "Because then w...
