We who aspire to a life of Truth . . . in order to unite ourselves within the guiding Light of its silent providence, and to secure the blessings of a freedom that only its presence can provide, hereby establish within and amongst ourselves, for all of posterity, these Articles of Higher Consciousness as set forth in this Bill of Lights. Article I You have the Light to detect, dismiss,...

I do not have to be better than you have made me, For you have created me in your image And there is perfection in this promise. But I do have to bear what you would make of me, If I wish to know my maker. Perhaps the greatest, yet least understood spiritual secret in the World is that being what I am is what it takes to make me better; Because only within what I am Is what **...

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...

Just as a shadow tells of the object that casts it, And that behind this object shines a light casting this shadow, So do the moving notes of any melody tell of the space through Which they pass. Within this space is our True Dwelling Place. This unknowable quality of space is the unseen pleasure In real music. By it we are whisked up and transported to our Native Realm, where Peac...

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who passing over a certain ridge comes upon an unknown Mountain outside his country and there catches a glimpse of a valley within a valley..

Don't the walls of your heart Ache to break loose and open The floodgates of Freedom? You have riches untold, But have lost the map to the upper regions of yourself Where you are always overflowing. So, forget this world with i...

Classroom Talk: 10/24/2021 - Part 1: Just as a river is refreshed -- each moment -- by the small creeks and streams that pour their waters into it, so are we meant to be renewed by the passage of Real Life as it pours into us, revealing all that it does... within us. Of course, this ever-green relationship assumes one thing: that we are remain open enough -- each moment...

Classroom Talk: 12/27/2020 - The love that we realize in our heart for God is as un-measurable as God's love itself because they are secretly one and the same love. And herein lies what is perhaps Love's greatest mystery: the lover and the beloved do not find one another... they are each other.

Classroom Talk: 4/15/2020 - The sooner we stop looking for, and finding fault with others, the sooner we will see -- and more urgent will become -- our emerging need to heal ourselves. Where, by the nature of this special work within -- and upon ourselves -- the brighter, gentler will the whole world be.

Classroom Talk: 10/23/2019 "Taking thought" as a way to look into, understand, and realize the infinite possibilities actualized in each and every moment of passing time...is like trying to measure the breadth and depth of the Milky Way by looking at it through a microscope.
