The visitation of every dark thought or feeling -- every despairing condition that washes over us unaware -- transforms our life into its own.
What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life. The treasure of our heart both measures and determines our wealth, or our inner poverty. But not everything we love in life loves us back. Not everything we serve serves us as we imagine. Only the Divine, the light of Truth, never fails us... never. There's only one reason why we ever find ourselves confused, depressed, angry with s...
The unseen seed of any crisis -- be it personal or planetary -- is the false belief that we can escape our own nature through its inventions.
Spiritual blindness is not of the eye; (it is) the dark effect of being unconsciously identified with a lower level of consciousness that has no interest in looking beyond its own deeply conditioned beliefs... for fear of falling off the edge of the only world it knows.
You may want to think about this for the rest of your life... and I'm not kidding. The need for a lesson to be learned attracts the condition it requires to be fulfilled. Do you see how benevolent is the Creator (whatever word you want to give to it)? Because look, how many of you think to yourself, "Oh joy, here comes a lightning bolt! Here comes a lesson!" No. When lessons come..."
It is a Law: Not of Man's or of Woman's -- but of Life. Before you can have a different life; before you can be happier, wiser, more at peace and in quiet command of yourself, you must first be different. Being is everything. And before you can learn how to be different and change your destiny, you first must realize that secret place within yourself where your own future is created...
My difficulty is that, according to "dog eat dog" biophysical laws in which we live out our lives in the physical, every positive and loving action has an equal and opposite reaction -- a sort of hell of angels! And that it's logistically impossible according to these physical laws, to "first do no harm" -- our core value on a soul level. Rather, we are obliged to play the role of heart-shat...
Goodness grows by enlarging the lives of others -- through the development of those thoughts and actions which serve the enhancement of the individual by increasing the depth and breath of understanding between one and all others. Evil grows by limiting the lives of others -- through the gradual erosion and theft of the rights of others through the unconscionable actions of selfishly sick ind...
The study of physics -- of the laws that govern relationships -- reveals some very telling spiritual truths, if one has "eyes" to see. For instance...every mass in the universe pulls on every other mass, and the strength of that pull is affected by distance. The greater the mass, the greater its pull. The greater the distance, the less its pull. Science is unable to explain exactly why this...
