There are two incredibly powerful words. It is through these two words that we can actually begin to place ourselves where what is True, Right, and Bright can touch us. The two words are "I'm sorry." Most of us learn to say "I'm sorry" because it gets us through problems. Usually we say "I'm sorry", if we actually do, without any real sincerity behind the words. But only human beings have t...

Real hope for the world begins with discovering what it takes to become a new human being, because when you are no longer who you were, but rather the new person that you have been meant to be all of your life, then all of those things that were connected with who and what you once were, cease to be the whole of you. Which means that every single one of your relationships has changed, even if...

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,...

Question: I often try during the day to start over, but quite honestly, no matter what I tell myself, I rarely feel anything dramatic happening. I may become aware of myself for a moment, but I can't seem to get free of my anger, or nervousness, or whatever else I'm feeling at the time. Maybe I'm trying too hard, but it seems that nothing new ever happens. Response: To really "start o...

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 **...

Letting go of who you think you are and making contact with the Secret Self are actually one and the same. But what is the Secret Self? We don't have to look upon this invisible part of ourselves as anything mysterious, for it is not. In fact, this sacred nature within wants only to reveal itself and to show those with eyes to see the wonders of their own hidden heavens. This is what our s...

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..

To know, To will... To dare to see. To strive, To live... To die to Be.

There is a storehouse of Sanity, A vault of Love, A treasure of Kindness, All bursting at their seams. Can't you feel the pressure To just be Light? 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...

We are not intended to divert or resist anything that appears in our consciousness, including negative states. What we want is to see whatever appears -- to let it be revealed -- so that we can understand our proper relationship with it, instead of falsely identifying with everything that passes by. This leads to an ever-closer relationship with the Divine, even as...
