True spiritual strength is our right to realize that any form of psychological fear is only as "big" as is our mistaken belief in it... that is, providing we're willing to prove it as so; where the reward of walking through any such fear leads us to this liberating discovery: fear is a false power that only feels real, and we are free to realize it as such... anytime we choose!...

Ask yourself this question, allow the answer to appear in your heart and mind, and you'll know exactly what to do with the appearance of any painful state that wants to drag you down: What is discouragement other than a dark suggestion offered up to us, from a cruel and negative nature within us, that's encouraging us to give up our wish to be whole, happy, and free?...

Real Success in life is not determined by measuring up to some pre-set social standard of accomplishment, but is found through the individual effort it takes to go beyond what blocks our way in the moment. Such a deliberate effort in the face of our own doubts and fears always proves these negative states powerless . . . which is the same as discovering within ourselves the power to be free.

The mirror into which I gaze is not on the wall before me, it is within me... so that all I see (therein) is a reflection of my consciousness. To know this Truth is to throw open wide the window of the soul... That by the Light showing me this unity to be set free from the useless suffering inherent in the illusion of a separate self.

Starting out, the aspirant believes his struggle is just to awaken himself. But, as he awakens, the aspirant sees an increasing need to serve others in their wish to be free. Finally, the aspirant realizes that his struggle was never just for himself, or for those he met along the way, but to take part in the awakening of human consciousness itself -- to help in the liberation of all human bei...

The reason it's said "Truth sets us free" is because the only thing holding us captive is that we're living from a false idea about the true purpose of our lives on earth. We are not here to "make something" of ourselves . . . but rather to allow the Light that lives within us to make of us what it will through the action of Love. The following three key lessons are taken from *365 Days to L...

Part 1: The life I see is the mirror of me, and each reflection, a correction -- if I am willing to be! Part 2: It is what we do with our difficulties that determines our destiny, and not our destiny that makes life difficult. The former we are empowered to work with, constituting free will; the latter only becomes a form of captivity when we refuse the gift of our own (often difficult) possi...

If you will consciously strive to place what you know to be True -- before you thoughtlessly consent to fulfilling your wants -- the day comes when the Light of Truth itself becomes the fulfillment of all you have ever wanted. In other words: do the interior works of putting God first in your life and that day dawns when He will put you first by raising you above His works. Then you are free.

The more you remember this one great Truth in times of trial, the sooner will its power help set you free: Each moment of life unfolds as the seed of a brand-new possibility... But only if, and as, you allow it to show you who and what you can no longer agree to be!

Part 1 The proven way to end ninety-nine percent of those heart-heavy feelings that drag you down each day is to stop thinking about yourself! Part 2 The only way to realize a life free of painful comparison to others is to boldly embrace yourself as you are ... and discover therein that no one else on earth has been gifted with the possibilities you alone are created to know.
