Part I: Frustration is the negative effect of a divided mind resisting its own insistence that life unfold as it wills. Part II: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction; this principle is eternal as it concerns the laws governing force. But it is first and foremost a principle of consciousness whose unseen effect on our lives is as follows: whatever we resist ensures it will...
In the great movement of the Whole -- in its enfolding eternal living and dying -- all things must obey the laws of creation and destruction in their ceaseless rounds. This means -- if we wish to be free of unnecessary suffering -- that we must understand that the cycles of creative energies will wax and wane; and that we must not resist these times when nothing is seen to grow in us because...

Just as the Light of Truth is timeless, so too are its Laws; to learn these Laws -- to be their instrument, so as to invoke their powers -- is to incarnate their virtues. And the soul that wills these laws, that reflects their powers and virtue, never perishes.
There is one incorruptible law, a cornerstone truth in the foundation of all relationships, that must be realized as being true for each of us if we wish to help ourselves and others grow in what is good for all. And since this law represents principle, there is no escaping its perfect justice. The wise person comes to love this law because through it he is granted freedom from wanting to hurt...
Part 1 It is impossible for one to awaken -- to realize a new mind and a new heart that carries no residue of resentment, let alone the image of some enemy -- until one sees the absolute uselessness of complaining about anything, to anyone... Including to ourselves about our "self." Part 2 Here's the real reason a "coward dies a thousand deaths." By law, any fear we refuse to fac...
The degree to which we judge others, and would make them pay for their shortcomings, is inseparable from the false belief that our nature is somehow different, superior to those seen through the eyes of our disdain. In truth -- save for a few who, by grace, have paid to be spared from the ravages of general laws -- it isn't the presumption of (our) character that differentiates us from those...
The secret purpose of that self-loathing nature in us -- that wants us to suffer today for what we could not do yesterday -- is not there to help us make straight our mistakes, but rather to ensure that we waste the rest of our days struggling to escape the ache of useless regrets. Awake! Detect and reject despair! It is not the guiding light it seems to be, but it is a cold heat that compromi...
Part 1 Any real intention we set for ourselves to rise above our present level of being is going to reveal a lower level of self that doesn't want to change. This is a powerful spiritual law that creates both challenge and opportunity at the same time. The challenge: agreeing to see how our unconscious nature -- encased and enchanted by its own negative reactions -- is incapable of doin...
If we went through our day tending half as much to the care of God's business, as we give to our own affairs, then -- from the resulting light of gladness seen spreading across the faces of family, friends, and strangers alike -- the good truth would be obvious: taking care of God's business is what's best for our own!...
