Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself, regardless what you're given to see... Then your love is incomplete.

Once we realize that whatever we will bring into our awareness has always been an aspect of our own consciousness, only not yet awakened to, we also understand this liberating truth: nothing exists outside of us. All destinations are already within us, including the Love we are searching for and the unconditional freedom that It alone has the power to grant.

To see beauty is to be beautiful; It is to be full of beauty. To see God's love is to be that love; It is the fulfillment of love...

Part I: Who serves only himself in this life may be first to find a seat at the table, but he eats from a plate filled only with emptiness. Part II: If we must dream, let us long for that life beyond ourselves; for who desires things already known, or otherwise imagined in forms reconfigured from fantasies too well worn? Behold! It is the Unknown Life that calls to us from a Desire untold;...

The love that we realize in our heart for God is as un-measurable as God's love itself because they are secretly one and the same love. And herein lies what is perhaps Love’s greatest mystery: the lover and the beloved do not find one another: they are each other.

It isn't fame or fortune, not even the greatest of worldly love that determines our true worth in life, let alone our value to the world in which we live. Everything depends upon what we love above all else. Whoever has the love of Truth in his or her heart... has everything.

Before we can hope to change the way we speak to others, and the tones with which our words are spoken – that we might express more patience and consideration for those around us – we must first become mindful of the impatient and inconsiderate parts of us whose voice and actions not only tend to make victims of our neighbors...but of ourselves as well.

Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself, regardless what you're given to see... Then your love is incomplete.

There are some things in this life -- in this world of passing time, governed as it is by the illusion of opposites -- that cannot grow up side-by-side; by their nature, the lion and the lamb never lay down together. So it is with love and self-pride, for love of self denies obedience... While love demands it.

The love we have for anything holy or true is already present (within our heart)... before we can think of any reason for this love that we feel. To know this truth from yourself is to also understand why -- if you stay true to this love -- you can't fail to find it... and to realize it as your own.

We must all do certain things in life. This is a given. Duty is duty. But as long as we feel a difference between what we must do and what we give our love to, we will never know the abiding peace of a whole heart. There is only one way to love life; and that is to love the One who grants us the gift of it. It is easy to profess such a love and another thing, altogether, to enact it. **Act...

We are not created to resist anything... we are created to grow through everything. Resistance to life kills the process of spiritual development. When we resist what life would show us about ourselves, we effectively close the door on the Light that wants to help transform us by showing us the things we don't know we harbor in our soul.
