I was thinking this afternoon about the man who introduced you to me. What would I say to him now, if we could meet? Did he have any idea what he was doing? Had he given any thought to what was going to happen to me? How the rest of my life, every facet of it, would be shaped by that moment our paths then crossed? Did he understand I would lose everything I treasure because the only constant...

Part I: There exists within every spiritually asleep human being an unseen part of himself that is incapable of considering anything outside of itself because this self-enclosed nature has no independent existence apart from the endless thoughts that is entertains itself with about itself.

You cannot protect yourself from psychological pain or disappointment and hope to court the Divine; awakening is a movement, a marriage of risk and revelation that gives birth to a new order of being that is one with change.

True spiritual healing is never the result of an ‘achievement’ one celebrates as such; it's always a very personal, and often painful moment of consciously realizing the extent of one’s weakness. Yet, paradoxically, in the ensuing humility is a victory, but not our own...

In order to enter into the school of the Eternal, we must allow the lesson in each moment to be our teacher. The fabric of the false self is made up from innumerable strands of experience woven together by an imaginary tailor who lives in terror that what it has made will unravel.

Here’s why no spiritual “secret” -- in and of itself -- has the power to transform, let alone raise our consciousness in any meaningful way: no self-knowledge, regardless how subtle, can serve its true purpose unless it is accompanied by the one element capable of actualizing it: consistent, persistent self-honesty.

A real school is a living organism. It has a heart, a mind, and a body -- and it has a will. Apart from a school, that is a gateway to the Christ, you can do nothing. We are intended to become aware of the fact that we are a part of something larger than ourselves.
