Classroom Talk: 11/12/2003 - Show me someone who has chosen to run from the interior struggle to be a true, considerate, and Light-filled being, and I will show you someone being carried off by darkness into a world destined for destruction... For the outcome of the battle between what is Light, and all else that is not, is already decided.
Part 1: All forms of useless struggle originate from the same unseen source: misunderstanding the true purpose of any moment in life over which you suffer -- uselessly -- in the vain attempt to change it. Part 2: It's impossible to change "what is" but... you can use the pain born of resisting any unwanted moment to realize the real reason why it appeared in the first place...
There's a message waiting for you that has the power to completely transform your life. It has come across 5,000 years to help you: * Understand Your Higher Purpose in Life * Have a Bright, New Relationship with Yourself and Everyone You Know * Connect Yourself to the Divine
The force "to do" what is Right and True comes to us only as we free ourselves from those forces draining us of our power to perfect the moment.
In our life, upon this earth, suffering is not an option - but what this suffering makes of us is our choice. We may either continue to resist our given pain, following the endless paths it produces paved with 10,000 empty promises--or--we may do the difficult inner work of discovering the secret purpose of our soul's sufferings and, for our efforts, come to be set Free of all self-induced fe...
The more we realize our higher purpose in creation is to atone for the difference between "what is" with "what has been" -- by surrendering any part of us that stands in the way of this reconciliation -- the more we see this sacrifice as inseparable from the ineffable peace that comes with being in the right place, at the right time, and doing the right thing for the right reason.
It often feels as if difficult moments in our life are things that we just have to "go through," but this is only half the story... and the lessor half, at that. In truth, each life event represents the appearance of a spontaneous set of circumstances created just for us... a unique moment in passing time whose soul purpose is to provide us with exactly what we need to "grow through."...
Classroom Talk: 4/9/2004 - True strength of character is not just calculated by how well we manage to carry some sizable load under challenging conditions, but is perhaps better measured by our ability to remain kind and light-spirited... even when we're sure that we can't bear the weight of one more ounce of life.
We are created not just to be able to see into the mind of God, but to see and know that the mind of God lives within us. Gradually, little by little, we can awaken to the Reality that the true cosmology is our own consciousness. In Reality, nothing exists outside of us that does not already live within us. God sowed within each and every human being the potential for everything within this c...
Part 1 Our will isn't just set against the act and purpose of creation, but in its opposition to the same... (it) actually serves to create the appearance and continuation of the very conditions it perceives as being set against it! Part 2 Karma is not some kind of cruel cosmic punishment, but rather (it is) the merciful appearance of a unique set of special conditions designed t...
