Whatever time you will dedicate to the study and contemplation of the following Divine principles will deliver results far beyond anything you might imagine. Welcome their healing insights as you would the warmth of the sun on your face on a cold and cloudy morning...

Here is what we must see if we would be free: In the throes of any unwanted moment we're not just resisting what we see as responsible for our pain, but, imprisoned (as we are) by our own negative reactions...

The perfectly present moment is both the seed of who you are and of your experience of now. And just as you can't separate who you are from your experience of now, neither can you separate now from the real moment of change. They are the same. You can't end conflict later. You can't stop being sad, or cruel, or angry, or scared, or anxious later. Later does not exist in reality. This self-created, false concept of time allows it to create yet...

Perhaps you've worked hard to be more aware of yourself in the Now, and that for this effort you catch a glimpse of how quick you are to judge others, to criticize them for their "failings." This pain that strains you -- and those you touch with it -- is itself a creation of a false sense of your own perfection. But your awareness of its punishing presence within you is the same as your invitation to transcend the negative nature that is responsible for it.

The easiest thing in the world is to walk around unconsciously feeling superior to everyone we meet. But with what do we measure? A critical spirit? A judgmental mind? What kind of eyes have to look down on another to convince themselves of up?

What a strange mystery; a paradox locked in some seemingly timeless conflict. After all how can all of us feel this great need for change, to make ourselves and the world we live in a better, a kinder place to live for all...

No revolution of the exterior kind, no movement dedicated to opposing the “powers that be,” has ever changed the consciousness that creates and sustains the system of those powers against which it pushes back...

As consciously as possible -- preferably in the movement of a single, slowly taken in-breath -- gather all of your attention into the words, “I AM”... And then on the out-breath... (silently say, or think the word) “HERE"...

When we are "driven" to succeed in this world, it is always to arrive at some point wherein we will no longer feel as though something is missing in us. All such drives in us are doomed at the outset. Here's why...

The real underlying limitation in our relationships is rooted in how we look at and think about others who are in our life. But, perhaps more accurately stated: the real problem we have with others is what we don't yet see and understand about ourselves!

Almost every day I receive a letter, an e-mail, or phone call from an aspirant who wants to know, essentially, the following: "What must I do to succeed spiritually?" Or, in a slight variation on that theme: "What's the right way to do what I must in order to awaken?"

Within each of us lives a tireless, latent longing to touch -- and be touched by -- life's invisible celestial forces. For instance, whenever we stand as a silent witness to the endless expanse of a dark night sky, we are inwardly moved by this outer display of timelessness spread out above us...
