The greatest, and ultimately the most important quality any of us possess is our love for what is True; and part of that truth includes being able to see that we did not seed this rarest of loves into our own heart. But, as long as we are willing to put this love within us -- still in its seedling form -- before all other desires, the same Truth that planted its Love in us will see to its fr...

So great is the need of the false self to feel “important” that it never stops imagining what it must have to feel that way; so that, by default, it lives in an almost constant fear of any moment it sees as a threat to its desired sense of self...

Thinking, or hoping, that any destination we have in mind is going to be superior to where we're presently standing, is exactly why we're still standing in that same place where we have to hope that some tomorrow will be better.

In such moments we are absorbed by a familiar negative reaction whose one desire is that the unwanted event just go away. This resistance acts within and upon our consciousness as a "blinding" and binding force, so all we can...

It only seems like it's possible to avoid unwanted moments, but the truth is that your present nature is as much a part of what you don't want . . . as what it would push away.

Feeling compelled to act as the judge and jury of another for failing to exhibit some desirable characteristic or quality, proves the absence of that quality in ourselves.
