There are some things we should all know -- without having to think about it: humanity is headed in the wrong direction. Everyone knows this except for those who believe they can benefit from tearing their own ship apart -- while it's still at sea -- in order to sell its pieces at a profit. But, much as in the timeless story of "The Emperor's Clothes," where no one would speak the truth of th...

Part 1: The only thing in us that longs to be flattered are unstable parts of us that not only love to be lied to, but that actively seek that kind of support through the careful cultivation of some appearance we put on in order to win it. Part 2: Too late does the fool who dines on flattery discover that not only has his wallet been emptied, but that he is being slowly, secretly, fatted for t...

Dare to put aside all relationships other than those which serve to reveal what is essential to your real desire.

The reason that we don't have peace is because of the way in which our present minds view the experiences we have with others and within ourselves. Our present nature takes everything personally. In fact, most of us don't know how to do anything other than to take something personally...

As paradoxical as it seems, the reason most of us find no lasting peace in life is because our mind is forever trying to find something outside itself in which it can rest. This condition is not unlike the little fish that, unhappy with just swimming around, went in search of water -- its hope being that if it could find what it was looking for then it would also find what was missing from i...

So that the more you learn to treasure the insights they are designed to reveal, the freer you will be for all time. I believe the more I comfort and fill myself with thoughts of a "brighter tomorrow," the better off I am: But I can see...all discontent...

As soon as we see that the healing we hope for begins with releasing our unseen relationship with the parts of ourselves that are responsible for our self-hurting, the sooner our heartaches end.

Part I: The only true solution to that constant press of discontentment in our lives is not to acquire more of what has proven powerless to please us, but to consciously detach ourselves from that level of self that believes the path to contentment is paved by continually thinking about what is missing from one's life. Part II: At some point the sincere seeker of God's Life will spe...

Who you really are can't lose anything because your True Nature is one with the whole timeless goodness of life.

There are these moments where a person is introduced to a great clarity that the world they have been looking in, in order to find themselves through, is incapable of revealing the worth they are looking for. This first shock (have you had it, by-the-way?) is when a person realizes, "Uh oh. This is a dead-end. Oh no." And when a person has enough of these moments..."
