Nothing in Real Life actually works against us... other than when our sleeping mind starts resisting its own imagined conclusions.

The Truth is magical: it transforms all who embrace it.

Peace of mind cannot be "pieced together" any more than it's possible to sew water, or weave sunbeams into light.

It's impossible to protect a fear and hope to free ourselves from it at the same time.

No false belief will ever die by itself, and yet...it will, and does go on living by itself.

Discover the profound truth about emptiness and inner peace—one that may surprise you. The greatest obstacle to the peace of heaven isn’t the world, your past, or your future—it’s what you have yet to understand about yourself. In this eye-opening exploration, we uncover a deep resistance within us, the fear of losing our familiar struggles, and the rarest form of self-knowledge: realizing that we don’t truly want to know the truth of ourselves...

As we realize there is no destination in our life toward which we run that isn’t disappearing the moment we depart for it; and -- at the same time -- there’s nothing in the universe that isn't being ceaselessly renewed by the divine forces responsible for its creation, we are awakened to remember a stunning truth...

Because we are conditioned from birth to see, and experience ourselves as separate from -- “other than” -- what we imagine is needed to make ourselves whole, our search for this missing sense of holiness that we believe is somewhere “outside” of us... ensures we never realize it...

Here's the last thing that ever occurs to us when running away from some unwanted moment: it's impossible to outrun what we don't understand about ourselves!

No oak became mighty in a moment, no mountain towered overnight; true greatness flowers in the soul by long exposure to Divine light.
