Much as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so it holds true: our experience of any given moment -- for its light or darkness -- its joy or sorrow -- is cast in the image of the consciousness momentarily awakened to reflect upon itself.

There is no such thing as a compulsive pleasure, let alone a contented "slave" that lives under its lash; and yet billions of human beings serve some form of addiction, willing to turn a blind eye to...

Poorest of us all... are those who “hear & obey” only their own reactions, because as long as that in-the-dark level of self remains in “power” -- calling the shots -- we will never see how our struggle to escape unwanted moments serves but one useless end...

When living within the limits of what is known is also seen as being the limitation of your spiritual possibilities, then there is no recourse other than to depart the safety of all that you have been... in favor of discovering all you are yet to be.

The more we will deliberately work to take time out of our day to remember -- and embrace -- what we know is Timeless and True, the more aware we will become of an Indwelling Light whose perfect grace reveals the means and the way to be made new... and new again.

Topics covered: In order to genuinely change our life, we need a change of light. And the light that reveals our consciousness hurts the eyes at first; The land of "one and done" that we are all trying to reach exists only in imagination. There is no such place. It is a mythological land. This is what mechanical religion and false teachers try to sell to you; If you don’t see for yourself the truth of something, you do not know the truth...

Could you give some insight into loneliness and how to abolish it? At times it seems to me that the more I realize about the awesome nature of spiritual love, the more loneliness I feel in my current human relationships. I long to share my discoveries with others, but who do I turn to? Sometimes I feel a deep loneliness in my heart. I know I have many tools to be happy, and the most important...

I am beginning to be suspicious of a certain type of vitality-stealing thought... I find myself feeling discontent about my life when I compare myself to others, or even to some younger version of myself! Why are we always measuring ourselves against others? How does this painful way of thinking get established in us? Comparing myself to who I think I should be, I often come up short... but is...

I'm so tired of pushing against life all the time. Where do I find the energy to overcome this relentless stress? It seems like I need to be empowered in order to accomplish anything in life, either for myself or my family -- otherwise there seems no choice but to be crushed by the competition. If neither my own feelings nor social and economic forces can make me feel safe and secure, where do...

I have been in a marriage for 19 years and for the last 6 years it has not been good. What criteria is the best to use to decide if it's time to quit? We put up with each other and that's it. Is a successful relationship one that lasts for a certain amount of time? I've been divorced for a year and even though I believe I've dealt with our past issues, I cannot seem to put my ex-wife's *curren...

What does it mean to have compassion for others, and how can I develop that in myself? Is forgiveness a necessary part of the equation? Why do I feel let down when I ask for help in doing a task and see that a family member is not concerned with the request? If they were doing the asking, the situation would be different -- that is, they would be upset if I didn't help them! I worry about why...

Into what do we gaze when looking through a telescope or microscope... other than into the yet discovered depths of our own mind...
