Success / Money

The only thing that stands in our way of finding the fearless life is something in us that tells us "I can't." And yet, three of the most powerful words in the English language are: "I can learn." Unlike every other creature on this earth, we are created to be changed, to go through transformations that put us into a new relationship with a different order of life...

There is a very old, familiar expression that states, "The journey of 10,000 miles begins with a single step." That commonly used phrase has a great interior, spiritual meaning. It is saying, "Wherever you are, whatever you have to do, no matter what it is that is in front of you... Just start!" Anyone who has ever done some sort of physical exercise on a regular basis knows that sometimes th...

Real power isn't the ability to imagine and implement an endless series of new solutions to old problems, but to awaken the higher understanding that allows us to transcend the need we have to live with any painful problems at all. Which would you rather have: a big fire hose with a hydrant and a fire to put out every day, or a life without fires in them? But what we have to examine here is...

It is possible for us to learn to attract success, instead of trying to chase it down through years of toil, disappointment, and heartache. So how do we do it? How do we learn to attract the success we want instead of letting the desire for the objects of success push us around from problem to problem? The answer is simple: We begin to doubt what compromises us. This means that we will no lo...

Question: Your teachings say that making demands and having expectations just sets us up for trouble. I know it's true. I always plan how other people should act and how things should turn out, but they never do what I expect, and then I become angry and disappointed. I sense that I am causing all my own pain. If I could just learn to want for myself what life wants for me maybe I wouldn't...

I am taking the biggest "risk" of my life and am about to leave a longstanding job for a new home business opportunity. Although I have basically kept my old job out of fear, there is quite a bit of fear in leaving the known and "safety" for the unknown. Any tips on how to make this new adjustment in life and to quell the uncertainty? I want to be brave in scary situations, but when I am frigh...

There is an endless hole in the heart of most of us; a pit that demands our faithful daily service and that causes us, in our compulsion to fill it, to be pitiless towards those who stand in the way of this endless ambition. Most of us will spend our lives as slaves to this psychic abyss, driven in one form or another to satisfy in ourselves what can only be satisfied by our continuing struggl...

Classroom Talk: 3/24/2024 - We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we have been given, and how - if we dare accept this unimaginable gift - we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Classroom Talk: 10/2/2020 - Whatever temporary "strength" we derive from any stressed, agitated state of mind -- as it empowers us to "go through" what it is pushing us do -- is a lie. The only "power" this lower level of consciousness possesses is to deceive us into believing that it's better to run from (our) pain than to turn around...

Classroom Talk: 2/26/2020 - If we would awaken -- if ever we are to realize a (conscious) relationship with the Divine -- then a time must come when we are no longer able to believe in the time of becoming.

Classroom Talk: 7/10/2019 Part 1: There is nothing you can possess in this world of passing time that will not eventually prove itself worthless... And yet, as unwanted as this indisputable fact of life may be, that's its value! So then, why wait to see the truth of this when, by embracing it, you might just be set free. Part 2: Powers, possessions, all forms...
