Ponder the following insight for a few precious moments, and you may catch a glimpse of a formerly unimaginable freedom. But ponder this one truth long enough to realize the implication of its implied non-action... and you will realize a new level of self- knowledge that is the key to self-liberation:

Have you ever wondered why – with so many people talking about the need to make real changes in their lives – so very little actually changes? It's pretty obvious: Addiction, dependency, and the conflict and fear they breed, are more prevalent and problematic than ever before, even if made to appear otherwise by popular justification. But what isn't so obvious is the reason...

Have you ever gotten angry at a knot? Maybe you couldn't get your shoelace undone, or clear that fishing line. A knot in a thin gold or silver neck chain can be especially difficult. When you fight with a knot you feel frustration. Now, if you think about it logically, clearly the knot has no intelligence of its own with which to thwart your intentions or make you feel angry. Yet when you figh...

There is never a good reason to go along with feeling bad about yourself...

In our willingness to journey to what seems the end of us, we are gifted with the understanding that there is no ending to our True Self.

We talk to ourselves about making a fresh start and even plan the path we will take when things get right... but that's it. We think, but rarely act. We dream, but won't awaken to the one fact we must face if we want a new life: There is only one place where we can hope to make a fresh start in life, and this has to be in that place where life itself is new all the time...

The real underlying limitation in our relationships is rooted in how we look at and think about others who are in our life.

All of life's innumerable "shake-ups, breakups, and wake-ups" take place within what we call the "present moment." This ever-open window into life--through which we see the newness of life unfolding before us--is something much, much greater than all of the individual events that pass through it to reveal it.

Part I: Detect and deliberately drop all fearful thoughts about what "may be" your future and you release yourself from a present torment whose unseen driving force is your consent to consider darkly imagined tomorrows. Part II: We should never measure ourselves according to our "possibilities" because all such estimations of self are always based in secretly embraced evaluation...

The real reason people remain captives of unwanted circumstances in their lives is because they've yet to realize this great spiritual secret: Resistance is negative attraction. In other words: the longer we dwell on what we don't want in life, the larger grows that dark dwelling place in which we find ourselves living. ~~~ You need not answer to any disturbance within you. Any form of res...

Let no day pass without your wish on that Star. Stand fast, with Heaven in sight, though still afar; In watchfulness remain until... There you are! As is true with all living things, especially the newly conceived, if you don't feed and protect that nascent life, whatever its nature -- from the simplest to most complex -- it will perish and die. Knowing the above to be a fact of life on eart...

I don’t want to walk in my own footsteps anymore. A fog I could never see before has lifted, and now I see where these footsteps lead: nowhere...
