Here's the real reason why so many people tend to make mountains out of molehills: you can't magnify the size of any given moment without first having enlarged the false sense of self responsible for that perception.

We are never closer to realizing the next level of our own higher possibilities than when, by the light of a new awareness we see some old darkness within us, and then agree that we can no longer be that which we have been.

What is any form of rushing other than one side of the divided mind racing to close the gap between itself and whatever it has imagined it must have in order to complete its equally imagined state of being incomplete.

Whether to persist and aspire to the Higher, or drop into some dark despair, that is the question; and which of these two seeds flowers all depends on which one you choose to nourish and grow. Every life lesson properly learned is the same as... a new freedom earned.

We can never really stop jumping through hoops until we realize that the only thing waiting for us on the other side is the same fearful nature that's shouting at us to jump!...

No one can say 'no' to this world who is afraid to walk through it alone. The unseen cost of this baseless fear is not just ending up in the company of cowards, but that one may lose the possibility of ever coming to know the company of the Divine.

No matter how many crowns may seem to temporarily adorn the top of his or her head... no one who fights with life wins anything real.

Freedom is not created, which means it cannot be destroyed any more than the onset of night destroys the light of the sun; and we are never "nearer" this true freedom than when we remember the truth of this fact in the middle of some fear.

Seeing the spiritually lost state, the interior bankruptcy of other human beings, can be used to accelerate your own relationship with the Divine, but only if you understand that you are not on this earth to judge the nature of others, but to transcend it.

Any happiness we feel over the pain that someone else goes through -- regardless of who or why -- insures we remain a blind prisoner of the fact that hidden within our present idea of happiness also lies the source of our suffering.

Who you really are can't be threatened by some seemingly dark moment in life any more than the sun trembles because a cold wind is blowing somewhere on earth.

Here is a good reason why many 'older' people tend to drive a little slower than others, and it would serve one well to understand it. They've discovered the timeless secret of life: There is no place you can "go" that can change who you are, so why be in a rush to get there?...
