Could it be possible that we are on this earth to spend our time worrying about money? Endlessly trying to figure out ways to please ourselves? Is there any remote chance that the reason we are here is to carry a hatred for years and years? To do nothing but think about ways to secure power, possessions, or approval? That doesn't make sense, does it? But clearly there...

When the soul cries out to spirit to carry her to a new world beyond the boundaries of this earthly domain, she is calling for the winds of faith to sweep down, fill her tattered and empty sails, and take her safely away. The wait for these winds is never too long for any soul who is both patient and persistent in purpose. And when -- as it must come to pass upon any such journey home -- dark...

We are at our core a creature of the stars: beings whose original and celestial stuff is not only born of light, but also intended to live unbound.

Your nature is not fixed. It can be transformed. This amazing quality, the inherent potential mutability of our nature, is what sets us above all of God's countless other creations. And this fact about our unique nature also empowers us in a very special way. Each of us is created with the power to choose the course of our own destiny. But before you can change the course of and learn to des...

The awareness of our living relationship with the present moment empowers us to know what's best for us without having to think about it.

It's vital to understand that angels and devils exist and are always hard at work around us. This fact is no cause for fear, for while their subtle bodies are invisible, their activities are not. The forces of good and evil can easily be seen working their ways in and through human beings; for it is within us that these levels of light and darkness mold life on earth in their image. Angelic...

Our task . . . Is to prepare a Vessel to be filled, And not . . . To fill an imagined vessel with what we dream it has been prepared for. The former begins by the light of inner work, fueled by an awakening faith. The latter has its beginning in the darkness of spiritual sleep; its inertia sustained by the machinations of self-centered considerations. The New Vessel is built to ho...

If the nature of this world, if its reality is as we have been led to believe by our society at large, then one's daily dose of suffering is sure to be seen as undesirable and, above all, unnecessary; a thing to avoid at all costs, that with ample fortune or favor we may hope to escape altogether. But if the Reality of our individual lives, its True Measure of Success is not to be determined...

Whoever I am, Whatever you see is As nothing at all, Save what Love has made me.

We must not fear these wild pulsations of hope-filled feelings too deep to hold... for they have an accord with themselves, and their own path to follow. These sometimes too strong stirrings of that unbearable wish for a compassion that can embrace all of creation must not be dampened simply because we don't understand the pressing of their presence in us. They are not asking us to know what...

A thousand flames, But one Fire, A thousand hearts, But one Desire. A thousand journeys, But one Path, A thousand conclusions, But One Math. A thousand sorrows, But one Night, A thousand insights, But one Light. A thousand branches, But one Tree, A thousand lovers, But one Thee.

Not through consideration, but in good Conscience, and not by evidence of the senses, but within solitude and silence should we weigh those matters concerning the care of our soul. For unconscious conspiracy rules the masses and its thought forms, though easily apprehended and comforting in nature, betray and blind the Spirit that unaware takes these views as Her own.
