When, and only as you come to love all that is True -- its Will, its Way, and its Works -- more than you love what you now call your own life... does Truth give you its Life. Then your life becomes its everlasting Work, even after death.

Part I As we learn what it means to consciously "suffer ourselves" so are we given the keys we need to enter into the true life free from suffering. Part II We die to death in ourselves by suffering it for the sake of true life.

The only way we will ever realize that the end of the known -- what we call “death” -- is an invisible doorway into a higher order of consciousness... is by agreeing to do the interior work...

Real Life is neither what we call (this) life -- nor (fear about) death; it is the simultaneous ground of both states and -- as such -- can be realized only in the Timeless Now... and only by that part of us that is already one with its Timeless Presence within which dwells all possibilities at once.

There is only one real way to share the life of the Immortal Self that lives within us, and within whom we live: we must shoulder our share of creation by consciously suffering the throes of its ceaseless birth and death. And how is this done? By agreeing to embrace its seemingly opposing parts until they reveal the secret holiness from out of which they come.

Here's a challenging idea: those who don't know their true identity do not know that they don't know who they are. It's a kind of spiritual amnesia produced by having assumed a false identity without knowing it. How is that possible?

Within each discovery, by each revelation of the reality underlying our present level of self, we are brought to a crossroads on our journey to the Kingdom of Truth. The road on the left, of resistance to what is revealed, leads to denial -- and the eventual death of our spiritual possibilities. The Right Road is realization -- which leads to the conscious suffering of humiliation, followe...
