Just as there must be a marriage between the aspiring soul and the timeless Spirit that gives it life, so must there be a union between spiritual sweat, sacrifice, and the fruit of what that interior work reveals.
After doing much practice of the new awareness you suggest, I have found that it's me who is first thinking painful thoughts and then resisting them (or feeling embarrassed over them). Yet, sometimes these images (mostly from my past) come automatically and I find myself bound to look at them, consider them, even when they're painful! It's here I am confused; am I intentionally creating these...
I have been confused with the idea of health, particularly the element of luck that manifests itself in it. It's something that frightens me because of the seemingly thin line that separates the individuals with physical limits and the ones that are limitless. The explanation solely used to explain this is the concept of luck. I find this explanation far too superficial to accept as true. And...

I am very confused and puzzled when it comes to my own specific circumstances. I'm unsure about which way to go...what to do...to get out of "wrong" life that I am in for years. Along with a troubled marriage, I am paying for making the totally wrong choices for myself, being so messed up that I somehow got lost on the wrong road, to nowhere, to misery...Absolutely not liking even a minute of...
I get e-mails from all the top guru's on abundant living, but I am very confused: there are so many different techniques? I have been trying to manifest for over 2 years and nothing! I don't know who or what to believe anymore. We are a one-income family of six children and are in debt up to our ears...so much so I went into the hospital for what turned out to be a stress attack. I try my best...
A man who doesn't know his true identity does not know that he doesn't really know. The fact that he is confused, frightened and still searching for himself remains almost totally unsuspected by him because he has unknowingly assumed a false identity.

Classroom Talk: 6/14/2023 - The higher purpose of suffering is to ground us in the existence and Presence of an altogether higher level of (our own) Being... where neither time, nor the pain it harbors holds a claim on us.

This is why it is often so challenging to talk about such ideas. As the mind sees it, there is "me" and something outside of myself that I am going to have faith in. To have faith in what is true does not mean that you do not fully experience what...
The next time you run into some familiar blockage or begin to feel unsuited to face some new and difficult personal challenge, don't do what you've always done before. Don't try to think your way around it. You no longer want a way around your troubles because what goes around, comes around! What you want is to grow beyond the level of that disturbance. And to do that, you must not act from it.
