Vernon Howard was a bit harsh in his assessments of people. He believed you shouldn't help others. I think we all need help because many of us are blind. Would you help anyone that came to you, even "undeserving" people? Aren't we all undeserving? Vernon spoke of "super-sickies." Are there such people?...

If someone can say something to you about yourself that causes you to crash and burn -- so that you never stop smoldering over what they have said -- it's only because you have yet to see the truth of yourself. Here's the fact that not only proves the above, but within it rests the only real solution to this kind of suffering: Any truth you realize about yourself cancels both the fear of that...

Part 1 Dying to one's self, which is one and the same as spiritual rebirth, is not attained by an imagined grace wherein -- by some "miracle" -- we call ourselves "reborn;" no, resurrection happens, moment by moment, when we marry our willingness to witness what is revealed about us with a celestial Awareness by whose Light alone are we made self-aware. Then... "It is done." **Part 2...

A flower in the process of blooming doesn't go looking for what it needs to fulfill the purpose of its existence; the very presence of its beckoning petals and delicate fragrance attracts to it all it requires... with no extra effort on its part, whatsoever. As you work to realize your True Self... opening yourself to the revelations needed to realize its unseen Source, not only will you part...

The degree to which we judge others, and would make them pay for their shortcomings is inseparable from the false belief that our nature is somehow different, superior to those seen through the eyes of our disdain. In truth -- save for the rarest action of a pre-paid grace -- it is not character that differentiates us from those pronounced less fortunate than we; rather, it is only a tempora...

Part 1: The wish to escape a trouble is trouble's wish, which explains why so many troubles are born with a wish. Part 2: Illusions, by which we are deceived, always "arrive" in pairs that appear at the same time. First, there is the imagined quality or character of that illusion -- such as the illusion of security through something possessed -- and then there is the imaginary self that feels...

We must never lose sight of the fact that we are vessels upon, and within, a sea of eternal forces... and that unless we choose a course guided by the light of the stars above us, the direction of our life is claimed by the currents beneath us. This is why we must so often be willing to steer our ship directly into the waves because it is the Heavens that bid us to go that way.

Anticipation is a special kind of awareness where one is united with the spirit of what comes prior to its arrival...

There is only one limitation all of us, each and every human being, shares in common...

All that I am is revealed... wordlessly In the great court of Now, For without need of a single image I am seen just as I am. There is a gentle, but thorough, judgment here... Balanced in a perfect act of justice without prosecution. Whatever the case in question -- it is quietly put to rest So no defense is necessary. Time served is the sentence before this deliberation...

The mysterious journey: The only possible way one could become dissatisfied with the darkness that routinely permeates and perpetuates his life is by the presence of a Light that, at first, seems to be outside of him. This is a disturbing Light he "sees," nevertheless he is drawn to it by the invisible actions of its True Source... the Light within him! This Light he reaches for is a reflect...

The one asleep to himself spends his life trying to avoid his pain, as well as that of all around him. The one awakening spends his life in a constant realization that whatever pain he is conscious of within himself...is one and the same as the pain being unconsciously suffered by everyone everywhere; his revelation produces true compassion, as well as a new kind of action that is otherwise...
