Uncertainty is unwanted because it feels so unpleasant each time it appears in our lives. But, can we be awake enough to see its positively bright side? For as surely as darkness must come before the break of a new day, so it's true: before the new light of higher understanding can have its gentle dawn in us -- we must see that we have come to the end of what we know.

Wanting to be anywhere else besides where you are in the moment is not only an unseen wish for unceasing conflict, but it also gives away the power you need to see through the parts of you that would have you to believe in this great lie: Just keep rushing around and you will find, in time, a place where you'll finally be at peace with yourself.

An unknown Love, an unknown God, and an unknown "me" that must give that unknown Love. With persistence, the awakening soul gradually awakens to what is asked of it. What is asked of the soul cannot be taught to us by another person. Only God can reveal the way to the willing individual. But what do we do when it seems like we have been abandoned, when we feel no love at all? How is it possi...

Every complaint, any negative reaction produced by a moment resisted, secretly serves to glorify an indwelling darkness that wants you to see your life as being incomplete.

Part 1: The four conditions of happiness are simple: clear eyes, a quiet mind, a sense of beauty, and an open heart. Unhappiness is the dark effect of refusing to cultivate these essential elements for having imagined, by a false light, a contentment that does not exist. Part 2: The real limitation in life is a creation of the illusion that outside of us exists something that -- if...

Just as it's true of all tempests in nature, psychological storms must pass too; but those who run from their troubles run with them, which is why -- wherever they go -- a storm awaits their arrival.

Learning what it means to take a deliberate step back from our reactions to life is the same as learning to walk past those parts of us that want us to believe our only choices in that moment are those presented to us from the content of these reactions.

Actualizing our spiritual right to live without the frustration of fearful limitations is not a question of achieving something new; it begins with choosing to end a relationship with that which has never been true. So, it isn't a question of "What do I do?" but "What must I bring an end to?" Here for your consideration is a very common but false belief about what one must do or be in order...

Classroom Talk: 2/20/2019 - Part 1: It's impossible to change any moment that we complain about because - for one thing - the unwanted moments over which we complain do not even exist apart from the level of consciousness that always finds fault with their appearance. Part 2: The more we complain about any unwanted condition in life, the more certain we can be...
