There's an old Zen saying "first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is a mountain" which alludes to the fact that problems are not outside of us but are an aspect of one's level of consciousness. The clearer that becomes, that there is no mountain apart from the nature that creates it, then the mountain disappears.

There can be no greater sense of safety and security than when we are truly alone, for only in this order of oneness within ourselves lives that Wholeness into which nothing unwelcome can come.

In each moment of life we must choose to take the upward path, or we lose the opportunity to rise above the parts of ourselves that like to fall down.

Freedom from fear has nothing to do with acquiring powers or possessions, so as to change or otherwise control those moments that seem to darken our life; real fearlessness is in our divine right to take whatever is unwanted and to surrender it to that indwelling Celestial Character that loves whatever is brought into its light.This love casts out fear; this love has no regret..

"Worry and Hurry" are evil twins who prey on unwary souls by means of their unseen partnership. As "Worry" paints a negative mental image that promises the worst to come, "Hurry" whispers of the urgency in this emergency -- the emotional effect of which is to send us rushing to repair a problem that probably doesn't even exist!...

Stressful worry helps no one -- not those we are concerned about, and certainly not us. Such worry heals nothing; instead, it hurts all who mistake its dark embrace as a path to empowerment. The only thing worry serves is to strengthen the grip of our fearful expectations and, in so doing, holds us captive in a bad dream of our own making.

We are so occupied trying to fill our lives with what we want that we can't see how all that we need is being given to us freely every moment of the day.

We must prove our fears false, or we will never know true freedom. This act of courage is the only one that requires we do nothing.
