Spiritual wholeness is a living, timeless estate... inseparable from the Divine Light that reveals it in each passing moment; (it is) not a static condition... as in the imagined, painful idea of achieving some imagined sense of permanent personal satisfaction.

Life will empty whatever you fill -- and whatever you empty, Life will fill. That's the code: it is the higher, still hidden understanding required to realize the timeless splendor of the soul, all wrapped in mystery and filled with bittersweet contradiction.

Looking to, let alone allowing any negative thought or feeling to guide you through a dark unwanted moment is like asking the captain of the Titanic to chart a safe course for you through a sea full of ice bergs!

There is no condition in our life -- immediately present, or apparently lingering -- that isn't perfectly suited to help us change the way we see, understand, and ultimately transcend... not just every experience we may have in life, but the level of consciousness responsible for its appearance.

It's impossible to see, let alone walk the indefinable path of the presence moment until we realize we’ve been deceived into looking at virtually every moment of life through the “I”s of the past.

You are the answer to the question you ask. To have this true self-knowledge -- born of higher self-understanding -- leads to a life without fear, a faith that grows daily, and the patience it requires to perfect your relationship with the Divine.

The ability to explain our fears to ourselves -- all the “valid" reasons we have for feeling anxious about “tomorrow" -- is not wisdom. Wisdom is the Light by which we see the following truth...

It's NEVER life's lessons themselves that are painful: the real problem, which is the same as the reason why we groan in these moments -- instead of grow from them -- is that there's something in our present level of consciousness that does NOT want that lesson!

Conscious persistence perfects those who will suffer through the work it takes to discover that discouragement is a lie. Only then is its deception seen for what it is: a lower level of consciousness that wants us to accept its mediocrity as the only possibility.

In the relentless passage of time whatever has been created -- a pungent spice, the prize-winning rose, even one’s greatest accomplishment -- all lose their fragrance, as must all things in time. Only Love -- its Living Light -- remains undiminished; the scent of Heaven is... Eternal.

Psychologically speaking, the pain & bane of our life is not just mistaking today's troubling event as proof of tomorrow's pain, but actually ensuring that it will be... by unconsciously resisting what is nothing more than a dark image generated by (our own) negative imagination.
