Let every search for a solution to the suffering you feel begin in the unlit corners of your own consciousness, and soon you will never again wonder “why” you feel the worries, fear, and the bitterness that you do...

We do not become prisoners because we fail to escape some painful pattern. We become prisoners because we imagine there is a “someone” inside the pattern who must escape it. In truth, the sense of self that feels trapped is a creation of an unconscious nature struggling to escape the experience of itself...

The clearer we can see that negative states must have an excuse to exist within us, the sooner -- and more strongly -- will arise in us a refusal to grant them a place anywhere in our heart, mind, or soul...

The Real Gift of Life is the grace to see that each moment -- inseparable from our awareness of it -- is always complete in and of itself. And further, that whenever we act as a silent witness to that revelation -- quietly observing whatever new form of life is conceived within it -- we too are completed and renewed, accordingly.

Calling on anxious thoughts to check the rising tide of some fearful feeling is like trying to stop a landslide by throwing rocks at it!

We can either spend our lives shaking in fear each time an unwanted moment arrives -- trying to protect ourselves from it -- or we can use that same situation to see through the false self that believes being fearful can lead to the end of being afraid...

The truth is, it’s not the moment that’s unfolding before your eyes -- nor even your experience of it. Rather, it is you -- your true Self -- unfolding in the ceaseless revelation of a Timeless Life...

The possibility of realizing our highest Good is hidden in every unwanted moment of life where --if we wish to realize the grace that awaits us there -- we are asked for what amounts to an act of Divine obedience: and that is to yield ourselves to whatever we're given to see as true (about us)... without resisting the nature of what we're being shown, let alone to ask the question "why?"

The perfection of each and every moment is realized by seeing each and every moment perfectly...

No one wants to be touched by the hand of suffering, so millions spend billions trying to escape what they see as something “raining on their parade.” And yet, their fear is as misplaced as the misunderstanding that creates it, and here’s why: into every life must come some rain, for without it... what else can a heart become other than a desert that never blooms?

Look closely at what a person struggles with in life; the actual nature of what he or she is fighting to possess, protect, or win; to what does he give his time, most of his attention? To what end her plans, the things she pursues and puts first each day? Such is the only real way to measure the true nature of anyone’s character, including our own...

There is no circumstance in our life -- immediate, or seemingly inescapable -- that isn't perfectly suited to help us change the way we see, understand, and ultimately transcend not just the troubled, or otherwise painful moments in our life, but the dark nature (within us) responsible for their reappearance...
