Whenever we put ourselves on the side of what we know is true, then the truth takes our side, lending us what his noble, needful, and Divine. Truth sees to it that we are strengthened by wisdom, sheltered by light, and that our soul knows -- moment-to-moment the peace of realizing its highest possibility.

We are not only complacent in cultivating the imperfections inherent in our divided nature, but increasingly -- individually and culturally -- we glorify these very weaknesses that, by grace, are revealed for what they are: stumbling blocks to the soul’s development.

No condition that our unconscious nature imagines into existence can change, let alone liberate that level of self that, out of fear, finds itself compelled to imagine it... in order to feel secure!

The best possible response to any given moment should be as new (to us) as is the appearance of that new moment itself...

No one wins freedom who hasn't first realized the invisible relationship between resistance and revelation, and how one cannot appear without the other; wherein to see that they secretly serve one another, is to put both in your service...

No matter how challenging the condition may be, regardless how steep the learning curve -- or wide the gap between what you desire to do, and yet cannot -- the first limitation you meet in these moments is always one and the same as an invitation to transcend it...

Somewhere between the past and the future there is a present waiting for you; to open yourself to its Presence...

Nothing created has (a) weakness that isn't (already) married to a strength that fulfills its purpose. The only exception to this celestial law is found in an unconscious nature that imagines it has some strength of its own...

Freedom is what remains when we see -- with new eyes -- that we have never been anything else...

Self-realization is the same as the conscious negation of any form of identification; (it is) inseparable from a higher awareness that reveals what no so-called "spiritual thinking" can see, let alone understand as true: no matter how pleasurable or painful, elevated or excruciating may be any conditional, temporary  sense of self... it is not who you are.

The great universal misperception that secretly drives human conflict -- with all of its sorrow and pain -- is that the meaning of life is to be found somewhere outside of our own heart and mind.

We can be -- and often are -- sound asleep going through the motions of life with our eyes wide open. To be able to see -- to be aware of -- what our mind is actually looking at, experiencing, and responding to... is the first step in the process of awakening...
