What does it mean to put the truth first and foremost in one's life? And why should one even try to do this, when it's so much easier to just continue doing what one wants to do for oneself before all else?

There is no such thing as a shaky situation, so any time you start to tremble, don't look around you for the fault. Look inward. It is the inner-ground you are standing on that is not solid.

You would k...
Welcome and good evening. Our chat will begin once I post these opening remarks on the nature of spiritual battle, and what is required of us to overcome the darkness that has (so far) overcome us.
