How can people access your teachings internally when there is so much that first needs to be dealt with in the human heart regarding pride, self will, and of course the power of indwelling sin? Christian teachings set forth the idea that we are all ill and need a spiritual physician to help us become healed and made whole. What is your understanding of soul sickness in light of the spiritual l...

Do you have any words of wisdom that may help in weight loss? I am struggling with ill health, and have been questioning dietary guidelines. My dilemma is whether or not we are to eat raw or cooked food. Actually I know that raw or live food is good, and that cooked food, according to some research, may not have much nutrition in it. I think of a forest fire whose aftermath of ashes actually n...

There are many villages in India where people believe in "dark magic." In our country, when a person has some ill thoughts about another person, then the former goes to a dark magician and tells him to destroy his/her life by some of his magic. This has ruined my family. Can meditation be helpful in protecting ourselves from ghosts and dark powers created by such dark people? My relatives are...

My father is old and very ill. My mother is taking care of him. She is very sad, stressed and weary from this task. I try to help when I can. My question is, what can be done for her emotionally? Also, can I do anything to help my father be less frightened of this? My son (15) is also having difficulty with this situation. I guess we are all just not sure what to do. Thanks for anything you ca...

I lost a great deal of money to a dishonest business partner. I can't believe I could have fallen for such an obvious scam or that a person I thought was my friend could have stolen from me what I had hoped to be my children's legacy. I'm burning up inside with rage, guilt, and concern over what my children will do now. I know this is killing me. What would you do in my position? I am feeling...

It seems to take less and less to make me feel unhappy and dissatisfied with the things and people in my life. How can I rise above the increasing pull of negativity? Every year at this time I get ill. I don't understand the lesson I need to learn. Try as I might, I can remember nothing from the past that would have set off such a pattern. Do I need to be psychoanalyzed in order to become cons...

Have you ever thrown your hands in the air and asked yourself "What in the world is going on with me? How come my best intentions and the ability to accomplish them seem to live in two different universes?" We intend not to run off like a mad human being, spending money ill-afforded. We intend not to do something mean-spirited or otherwise self-defeating. Yet that is often just what we do...

It certainly seems true, and (it) definitely feels that way, but the familiarity of our habitual thinking is not safety...

Looking for the power to be happy is not found in a person, place, possession, idea, or belief, but through the new understanding that your higher, permanent nature needs no power outside of itself in order to be in charge of an inner or outer attacker.

Here are just ten small places in our lives where we are trying to do the impossible -- struggling to do what cannot (and need not) be done -- and where, because of our misunderstanding, we unknowingly hurt ourselves.

It isn't this world that threatens or disturbs us. We are dominated by our own thoughts and feelings. We are taken over by our own reactions. This is painful for us because our original nature, our True Self, longs to be free and unencumbered by self-limiting, self-defeating, compulsive thoughts and feelings. The problem is, at our present undeveloped level, we believe that another person...
