All identification is dependency; Awareness is seeing without a center; The mind is always trying to dissect life; Every wish to change something in your life is produced by fear; A thought has no substance, it's a representation of something; Fear is built-in to dependency; The way out of your pain is through humility; You must struggle with your weakness instead of use it as an excuse...

Here’s why truth teachings through the ages speak of our being “blind,” as well as why -- if we hope to know the Divine -- we need new “eyes to see”...

If -- by the light of remembering and considering what is Timeless, Holy, and True -- the heart is warmed and gradually enflamed, then the following must be true...

Praying to change the world around us is pointless until we see that the world around us is the way it is because we are the way we are...

Every truth ever discovered -- each new light that will ever burn bright -- already exists in our consciousness. All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice -- the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows -- awaits us within ourselves.

Truth, like sunlight, radiates out, pouring down ceaselessly from the “emptiness” of The Great Unknown into the fullness of how we experience it... as something temporarily “known.” But, don’t miss the point: without emptiness, nothing flows.

Once we realize that living within the limits of the known is the same as the limitation of our spiritual possibilities, there is no recourse other than to depart the safety of all that we have been...

The Unknowable Source of Peace in real life far exceeds our reach... because it can’t be grasped, let alone taken by hand; it can only be received by a heart that has willingly emptied itself of hope in all things seen...

Every moment spent in the love of wisdom, accompanied by our wish to keep its company regardless the cost, helps us build an unseen but eternal bridge between the deepest and highest parts of ourselves...

Being able to realize, and then release one's resistance to any unwanted moment does more than help to change the “dark tide” of that event; it reveals that within us already dwell the untroubled “waters” of a celestial harbor: the timeless shelter of an eternal Self that becomes the same as our own... but only as we remember to "leap" into the Now in which it forever dwells.
