An advanced spiritual lesson: Nothing is final, but direction determines destiny. Every moment accurately reflects one's nature, even though all things are in flux as they assume form. Only this understanding is complete, yet it cannot be possessed.
We're often led to act against ourselves by an undetected weakness that goes before us -- trying to pass itself off to others -- as a strength. This is secret self-sabotage. It sinks us in our personal and business relationships as surely as a torpedo wrecks the ship it strikes. Any person you feel the need to control or dominate -- so that he or she will treat you as you "think" you should b...
Each moment is unique; never to come again... and this includes all of our relationships as they're revealed through the celestial conditions that converge to create them.

What we see, and take, as being the meaning of any given moment -- including our experience of it -- is a direct reflection of the level of self being revealed by that same moment. This invisible relationship between the observer and the observed is the mirror of the Divine.
