By the fact that her order is implicit, Great Nature is choiceless. Her creatures, from the smallest to the largest, from rock to gorilla, sea slug to Humpback whale, serve without say the demands of the niche and pattern their lives help sustain. (In truth, though unseen, bodies are shaped by the service they perform in creation.) The gift of being a human being is that we are, in potential...

This world we live in is filled with increasing conflict. And the question is, is there any way in which we as individuals can become something that is not a continuation of this suffering so that by our own work we begin to be a different kind of human being? The answer is most assuredly yes, but to do so, we must first work at new understanding.

There is a certain longing inherent in us to belong to something greater than ourselves. That longing that has a natural foundation is stolen very quickly, in fact it never has a chance to get off the ground. What happens? Remember grammar school? Remember how you began to notice that there were certain groups of people that maybe you wanted to belong to but they didn't want you to belong to t...

You have the Light to detect, dismiss, and to transcend the limiting influences of painful negative states such as doubt, worry, hatred, anger, and fear.

Truth wants you to know that it is never in your best interest to unconsciously suffer, no matter how inwardly convincing it may feel to you that you will be betraying yourself or someone else if you don't. The only way that any suffering feeling can prove to you that you need it is to hypnotize you with a flood of itself. Step back from yourself. Learn instead to listen to the quiet stream of...

One of the hardest things to understand about the true spiritual path, and the struggles along the Way, is that the inner struggle we fear losing has already been won for us...

Any time you are sitting at home and a thought comes and says, "What about this? What about them? What's going to happen if this?" you are burdened. You are carrying on your back, in your heart, in your mind, the weight of a set of thoughts and feelings you believe have the right to ride you to where they tell you to go... as if you were saddled by a donkey!

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of March 26, 2018. Part 1: Never fear the loss of what will, and must disappear in this world of passing time. The work of remembering this timeless, (but unwanted) truth is the same as connecting yourself to the love of an all-embracing, fearless awareness... that never dies.

Just as a child's runaway imagination creates menacing shapes out of shadows on the wall, it is the mind asleep to itself that makes monsters appear where there are none.

One of the gifts of being human is that our individual potential far exceeds the boundaries of our (animal) body, which, like all natural creations, must serve the general laws it's been created to obey. We have the possibility of consciously knowing the existence of another order of body that is in, but not of our physical form. For example, consider the oak tree; it is in the acorn, yet its body is timeless relative to the seed from which it emerges.

We who aspire to a life of Truth . . . in order to unite ourselves within the guiding Light of its silent providence, and to secure the blessings of a freedom that only its presence can provide, hereby establish within and amongst ourselves, for all of posterity, these Articles of Higher Consciousness as set forth in this Bill of Lights. Article I You have the Light to detect, dismiss,...

No one wants to struggle...when they don't have to; only when the "currents" of life rise up and threaten to wash away what we are identified with do we pick ourselves up and work to preserve what we fear might be lost. Such struggles serve nothing other than the world they appear out of and disappear back into once some kind of personal "harmony" is restored. Of course, the problem is that...
