The pain of any dark moment that makes life feel pointless is, at best a lie. Ours is always the right to exchange any form of discouragement for the realization that nothing about it -- neither its doubt, nor its attending sense of despair -- is native to our True Self.

Topics covered: The point of all exercises is to reveal the unconscious patterns you're involved in; No part of you works independently of other parts; True humility is inseparable from an awakened life; In some ways, shame is the avoidance of responsibility; GF discussed his appearance on the Sally Jesse Raphael show; If nothing else, you can always work to be aware of your condition.

Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.

Once we realize -- no matter what we attempt in life -- the "worst" we can do is learn from that experience, then the whole idea of "failure" fades from view and, in its place, freedom appears.

When it comes to true success in this life -- regardless of whatever world it is in which we strive for excellence -- there is no greater ability than to be able to do what we don't want to do, when we don't want to do it, and, in all cases, to do it well.

The ache of any dark moment -- of any pain that makes life feel pointless -- is best reconciled by this revelation, and its implied action: yours is always the right to exchange any form of discouragement for the realization that nothing about it -- neither its pain, nor its attending sense of despair belongs to who you really are.

Nothing in the universe has the power to stop you from starting your life all over, nothing except for one thing: unconsciously identifying with those punishing parts of yourself that want you to believe that wherever you may have been stopped along the way is the same as having gone as far as it's possible for you to go.
