Those who seek first the Kingdom of Heaven are always in the right place, at the right time, to see their cup filled, and to drink from it... as freely as they will.

You must learn what it means to become a conscious actor -- one who deliberately and consciously does the right thing, such as apologize or be kind, in spite of any disingenuous or hypocritical feelings you have.

Judging yourself, or others... seems to prove the presence of an innocent 'you' -- someone superior to the inferior character now being condemned. But reproving yourself, or others... is actually the avoidance of seeing yourself as you are in that moment; this order of disapproval serves a dark and divided level of self, one whose unseen purpose is to create the illusion of there being a diffe...

Part 1: The more perfect the reflection, the less difference there is between the perceived and the perceiver. It is the absence of this distinction that the divided mind, the false self, fears above all else... for its very sense of existence depends upon feeling apart from all that it sees.

If the Truth we profess to love isn't demonstrated by our actions moment-to-moment, day-by-day, then what those same actions demonstrate is the extent of hypocrisy in which we live. There is only one cure for this kind of spiritual self-delusion: The honesty to see ourselves as we are, followed by whatever personal sacrifice we must make to start 'walking our talk.'...

Part 1: Confusion is the distance between what real life is showing you about yourself, and your refusal to see the same. Part 2: To realize the thought nature is powerless to resolve the incomplete experiences of life that it creates in the first place releases you from the illusion that by revisiting those same moments -- with thought as your guide -- that you can escape the confusion and co...

Here is the sure cure for any sense of feeling superior to others: Observe those in your life whose behavior you're quickest to negatively judge and then -- if you dare -- use his or her manifestation as a 'window' through which to catch sight of a similar character hidden there in the shadows of your own heart.

As your relationship with spirit strengthens it acts as a wedge and becomes a source of woe to the nature that it reveals. But just as you understand that the arborist loves the tree that he prunes, you come to appreciate the blows of spirit's sword upon you.
