- You live in a world you can’t see. And the world you do see is like looking through binoculars from the wrong end.
- Each moment is inevitable. There is not one thing any of us can do to change the moment as it is taking place.
- The moment is not what you think the moment is -- it is an irrevocable, infinite intersection and interaction between all that exists.
- We meet every moment in life with the question, "What does this mean to me?" You look for the meaning of the moment from within your own thinking system.
- You are given momentary states of illumination so that everything that remains in the dark of you can have a chance to be reborn, blossom, and made new, so that you come out of every moment with a new body of energy.
- You always see things from your point of view, but imagine if you could see them from all angles at once. That is what an awakened human being is -- someone not looking at the moment from a relegated position and shifting things around to find the right view, but instead being instantly brought into a broader view of the moment.
- You cannot be tempted by anything that doesn't have a corresponding part in you.
- Every temptation at its root is the product of a level of consciousness that is seeking a way to establish a sense of being whole, trying to get rid of the fear of missing out on something.
- "The fall" in the story of Adam and Eve represents the fall of something timeless into time. It represents a human being having a celestial disturbance within themselves, something appearing that promises to bring an end to it, and then pursuing that through imagining a time when they're complete and not feeling the disturbance anymore.
- The lower nature is not brought into the light as if they are separate entities, any more than you can have a shadow exist without the sun.
- It's possible to see what creates shadows and understand they are an aspect of what is active and passive in the moment. When you see them as such, you can let shadows come and go because you see they are produced by a misunderstanding in your life.
- There’s nothing that you have to do except see the truth, which means you don't need to do one thing to complete yourself.
- The purpose of a truth school is to strip away the nonsense. A real school doesn't instill you with new knowledge, but it does give you new ideas so that through those new ideas you can start to ask new questions.
- My reaction to the moment is what determines the "road" I find myself on in that moment.
- The journey isn't from the darkness into the light, it's the beginning of understanding that "the light dwells within the darkness and the darkness comprehends it not."
- The opposites are traveling together but neither one knows its own partner.
- Not only is it not "me" that's walking this path, but I never started it and it's not my job to finish it. I just need to agree with whatever I see. Seeing is the journey.
- Your ideas of "right" and "wrong" are intrinsically connected to your conditioning.
- Every thought you have is you trying to escape the pain of your own experience. You don't want the consequences of your decisions. But you can't come to a sane, healthy decision as long as you believe there's a "right" and "wrong" decision.
- How do I see that I can’t "do the good that I would"? How do I see this darkness? By the light that reveals it, when I cease from identifying with that unconscious nature.
- When you see that your will belongs to something that you have no authority over, you no longer will want to express that will, and you will begin to die to your own will so that another will can be done within you.
- The way that you come to understand these relationships that are inevitable is by entering into the mystery of the inevitable and allowing the revelation of it to reveal to you how you are a participant in the entire movement moment to moment.
- Everything in creation returns to its owner. Spirit returns to spirit. Your body goes to the planet. Your mind and the content in it go back into the Earth that gave rise to it through a consciousness developed by the planet.
- Can I find within myself something that doesn't pass when all else passes? The only way you find this road home is when you are aware of the relationship between what is active and passive as it continuously produces a new understanding.
- Exercise: When you find yourself asking questions about what you don't understand, dive deeper by asking yourself, what else is in this question? Get to the heart of your own heart, and you'll find all of the answers are already in there.
