Part of what we have not been able to remember and use in our spiritual work is the fact that everyone around us is just like us. All the people in our lives -- even people walking by us on the street -- are seen by us (in our present way of experiencing life) as being disparate, something different to condemn or condone, to embrace or push away based on what we perceive in them. What we don't...

Part 1: Real-life is the ceaseless expression of converging celestial forces as altogether they manifest what 'cries out' to be harmonized in creation by the (merciful and loving) will of the Creator. Part 2: Most everything that we think we 'see'... isn't as it appears to be; that's why 'wait and watch' is the true path that leads to the summit of higher self-knowledge.

Classroom Talk: 12/8/2002 - There are two paths through life thought to lead one to a happy Wholeness. The first path is littered with all manner of glittering things that one thinks are needful to complete oneself, while the second path is the way of discovering what one can live without. The former path is always cluttered, and leads only to increased conflict and self-compromise, while the latter path is as simple as it is peaceful in its native innocence.

Every relationship that we have in our life -- our contact with each person, place, and event -- serves a very special, if yet to be realized, purpose: it is a mirror that reveals things to us about ourselves that can be realized in no other way. I think this is one of the reasons that so many of us love to be out and about in that great showroom of life called Mother Nature.

What would you think of a mother or father who starts yelling at their 5 year-old son because he didn't prepare dinner? It would be a terrible thing. Intuitively we would see such an action as being out of order. It's actually against the Cosmic Law. In the same way, life never asks a human being to be something he or she can't be. It's against the Law. Life at once asks and gives us wha...

The unsure self that not only looks for, but attaches itself to codependent relationships -- cannot possibly be the real you. Let's see why this statement has to be true. The real you is that silent "I" within you whose awareness understands -- without having to think about it -- that you are on this earth (going through all of these events) to grow, to realize ever-higher stages of your self.
