The proof that every moment -- including the most painful of them -- is unlimited in its Divine possibility is that one soul perishes for the fear of them, while another (soul) is perfected, and liberated by the same.

As surely as open skies can't be overcome by any cloud that may pass through them, neither can our True Nature be overwhelmed by any “dark” moment of life, regardless the shadow it seems to cast over it.

No one is free who has an ax to grind with any other person, let alone who grind themselves down with painful self-judgment believing, in vain, that self-punishment is somehow connected to self-perfection.

The more we struggle to fit into this world’s idea of freedom, the more imprisoned we become for having assumed the shape of some fear that we may get left behind, or be otherwise misunderstood.

Reclaiming rightful authority over our own mind and heart begins with seeing, very clearly, that the ease with which we make excuses for self-compromising choices is not the same as being in charge of ourselves.

Learn to silently watch the sound of thought; if you are quiet enough you can observe it stumble over itself as it tries, in vain, to escape the fear of its own shadow. Now you know what not to follow...

Any experience we don't want cannot be separated from our negative reaction to it...

The light of true self-knowledge grows out of our willingness to see, and then enter into whatever we’ve yet to understand about ourselves; it’s a grand mystery...

The less we try to “teach” others about their shortcomings, the more insight we gain into our own.

Be here. Be still. Remember the Divine presence that dwells in you... and you will know, without a single thought, that while all around you everything changes, your True Self is unchanging...

If we won’t let love show us all that remains hidden within us -- that hurts us, as it does those we would never want to harm -- then it can't do its Divinely appointed work of helping to heal us.

Practicing the Presence -- working to remember the truth of yourself -- doesn’t necessarily change the kind of events that come to you; that’s not how it works. But, what your inner work does change is...
