Passing time reveals the true nature of thought to be naught but grains of sand, endlessly spilling themselves out of -- and back into -- the nothingness from out of which they have come.
Some things must be seen as true before they can awaken within us a new and higher will... that sets us free.
A false nature creates a false god, and a false god reciprocates by making a victim of the false nature that made it a false god.
Whatever storms you are given to face on your long journey back home, work to remember this truth... and be assured the day will dawn when you will know the unconditional freedom you seek: Your struggle is with yourself, and yourself only.
Learn to silently watch the sound of thought; if you are quiet enough you can observe it stumble over itself as it tries, in vain, to escape the fear of its own shadow. Now you know what not to follow...
It is impossible to imagine a better time to come without making more real a sense of self that is forever trying to escape the time within which it is trapped...
The fact that we can be aware of -- a witness to the experience of our own reactions proves, undeniably, the existence of a higher order of being that is not bound by them, let alone to the subsequent actions they tell us we must take.
Learn to let your love of exploring new and open spaces replace all of the ever-diminishing pleasures... found in all the old familiar places...
Participating in the revelation of creation is the entrance into the realization of God’s life, paid for by the sacrifice of the lower self...
We may ask the same question about unwanted moments in life a thousand times and in ten thousand different ways, but until we discover what those moments are here to reveal, we remain without an answer.
We know, but don't understand. We will, but yet we can't. We try, but miss the mark. How do we know these things are true? The evidence is right before our eyes yet still... we don't see.
Just as the light of a candle can’t be moved by the shadows it casts, so is there within us a Light that can reveal and observe a reaction without being identified with it, let alone be moved by its shape or character.
