No one agrees to rush (through life) who isn't first convinced of the 'need for speed' by the whispered command of some pressing desire demanding that one race to find a solution for its suffering.

Part 1 Rushing is the pain of trying, in vain, to avoid the awareness of what we are being given in favor of trying to get on to what it is that we want! Part 2 Only the simultaneous awareness of "Yes and No" is capable of producing the sensitive energies needed to receive impressions from the objective world, to know an Intelligence that isn't divided into parts that act against ea...

Resistance can never be escaped; all efforts to flee (from) its eternal touch are an act of unseen "vanity." However, (it) can be used, consciously, as the irreplaceable force it is... to help reveal What Is Real: a Kingdom of Light within whose awareness there is no longer a struggle to be free because -- by its Light -- we can see into and through a lower level of consciousness that...

Featured Study Group Topic for the Week of April 8, 2013. Part 1: By love we overcome death, for death is an act of love... not the end of it. Part 2: Realizing one's spiritual helplessness never tastes good, nor does it ever go down easy; but, if our wish is to eat the Bread of Life, we must not turn away from the table set before us.

Part 1 Our need to change, to be made new, is constant; however, so is our resistance to change. The former is inseparable from the freedom it heralds, while the latter ensures the continuation of patterns that imprison the soul. Choose the latter, and living becomes dying, but choose the former and see how dying leads to Life. Part 2 Practicing the presence is not for the aggrandi...

Interview on Life with Psychic Suzanna on 11/13/11. Topics covered: Every new thought is already hidden in our consciousness; We have forgotten that we are an ocean, this inlet into a divine intelligence; We are born to be seekers, to know the depth and breadth of our own possibilities given to us by the Divine; A limitation is not a punishment but an invitation to discover that we are never i...

Until you know the truth of yourself, you can't help but live a lie.

The truth of our oneness with life only starts to become real for us as we awaken to see that in hurting another, we have also hurt ourselves and - that whenever we hurt ourselves - others suffer.

One sure way to guarantee that you'll continue rushing through the present moment is to cling to the false belief that you can escape unwanted thoughts and feelings by trying to run away from them.

The vast majority of us go through life doing only what we have to in order to maintain a status quo; i.e., we do just enough to hold on to what we feel we need in order to get by. Our preferred path is the one that provides the greatest pleasure while offering us the least resistance. The unseen "reward" for identifying with this unconscious inclination -- the result of our refusal to struggl...

Part 1 We resist not what we see as being fearful, but rather what fear sees whenever we look at our life through its eyes. And the reason this fearful nature trembles, as it does, resisting its own dark vision, is so that it can feel unsuited to meet the very situation that it has imagined. Part 2 We are never overpowered by a negative reaction, regardless how strong it may s...

Here is a new and true beginning you can start with today that will put you in the right place for leaving an old self-defeating choice behind you for good: Any time someone criticizes or corrects you, dare to go against your habitual urge to defend yourself. Instead of reacting with heated resistance to something you don't want to hear about yourself, just listen to what's being said.
