The basic core of all true spiritual teachings is that the inner determines the outer. What this timeless idea means to us is that what we receive from life -- our experience of self in life -- is determined by how we perceive events. And how we see life is determined, each moment, by what we are looking at it through.

Whenever we hate or resent someone it is we who become hateful or full of resentment, which proves that we cannot give our lives over to any spirit of darkness without that same sick spirit transforming our lives into its very own. Therefore remember this Cardinal Principle of Consciousness: Attentiveness is "Preventiveness." Choose well your inner company.

One sure sign of progress along the spiritual path is the unthinkable understanding that no matter how, or why it's spoken (to you)... whatever someone says that's true about you... is good for you.

Patience is power because it compassionately rules over whatever parts of us are moved to act against ourselves... or others.

We cannot hope to enter into that Life larger than our own as long as we continue to look at our own life through a set of limited ideas that preclude that possibility.

When we apply a label such as "passive aggressive" to someone who bothers us, we cease to have direct contact with that person and instead meet them only through that idea, which prevents any kind of learning. We must work instead to allow the revelation of the nature that has been disturbed within us so we can see the fear that hides beneath it.
