What good is the love of Truth without agreeing to embody the freedom it promises? This means that we must act from this love -- daring to embrace what is light, right, and true even in the midst of all that seems wrong within and around us. We must bring its flame into the midst of our storms and into that fear that comes with times of trial. For only then and there will we see -- as we sta...

Part 1 We don't create higher self-understanding, or the enhanced levels of freedom that come with its awakening in us; real self-knowledge grows out of what we don't understand... in a grand mystery comparable to the way in which the sun rises from out of the darkness, illuminating and revealing all that had been unseen only moments before. Part 2 Here is the real reason why so...

Topics covered: Fear tells you what you need to do in order to change the condition, ostensibly so that it will no longer be afraid; Judging yourself for making a mistake seems to prove to you that you are someone who is above those mistakes; Oil and water cannot be mixed together. Neither can freedom and fear. But we somehow believe that obeying fear's commands will eventually lead to freedom; Freedom and fear live in two different worlds.

GF: Welcome everyone to our chat. Before we get started I wish to send along some thoughts on the new understanding required of us if we ever want to become truly free. There is no substitute for freedom. And, as we shall find out, we all share in many mistaken ideas about what it means to be free. To prove this point, let me pose two simple questions that will help set us on the path to rea...

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...

We cannot be made a captive of any psychological condition to which we have not silently granted our consent.

The more we help others who refuse to help themselves, the more reasons we give them to remain helpless.

There is no such thing as independence without responsibility. And there is no such thing as responsibility that doesn't have a cost. People today want their freedom for nothing: "I don't want to work for what I have. You owe it to me." Such is the condition and the downward trend of physical existence. Even spiritually, people want to go somewhere and get tapped on the head with a peacock fea...

Nothing is created that isn’t preceded by an act of love, which means that our experience of life – our manifestation of it – for either its grace and beauty, or its broken-heartedness, is the inescapable expression of what we actually love.
