You say not to deny fear or fight it or agree with it. Please explain. What do you mean by "walk through fear"? Can you explain what it means to be identified, and how it keeps us from seeing what is true? After certain negative events take place, I think I'll regain my peace of mind if I just "get even." How do I free myself from being overcome by such troubling thoughts? I still seem to get...

A part goes looking for a part. And, seeking its missing part, casts all else aside, until... It casts away what it has found because yet another hole has opened up. And behold! ...Comes a parting of the parts; and, even as one stumbles, falling, drawn by gravity into Its own dark abyss...

The Sacred awakens the seeker, stirring a holy desire that initiates the search for one’s Self. As the seeker awakens to the presence of the indwelling Sacred, the illusion of separation -- of time and space -- collapses, revealing a Circle of Light in all of its intricate, infinite forms as having always been complete...

Every revelation -- regardless its nature -- is the expressed momentary experience of a Divine perfection that belongs to a higher order of Being; (it is) a Oneness that dwells, unseen, in another order of time. Behind "each" of these revelations is the Divine will responsible for its appearance... a will that "seeks" to integrate the disparate parts of whatever it reveals, that it might bring...

The more we dwell on something we wish wasn't so, the more we soak ourselves in negative energies created by our own resistance. The longer we soak, the more we suffer; the more we suffer, the more we resist what seems to be the unwanted event when, in truth, what we are really drowning in are the dark waves of our own uninvestigated consciousness.

Life doesn't wait until you have the energy or feel good to ask you to do something you don't want to do. Life is always presenting to you, whether it's seen or not, an opportunity to find something in yourself that you don't know you have until you look for it.

Setting a true spiritual intention is the first step in developing the power of attention, the instrument of Will at all levels of creation. Seeing that you can't keep an interior intention is the only way to dispel the illusion that, as you are, you possess a will of your own. Realizing the truth of your actual situation stirs and strengthens the wish to develop a will of your own. Slowly you...

The Vine doesn't fear the passing of the branch; it was there before it. The Vine gives rise to the branch; it will be there long after the branch withers in winter winds, and falls away. The branch fears its own passing, knowing nothing of the Vine from out of which it has come... or that it will be born again come the light of spring. All is Vine for those who can see the branch for what i...

The great majority of what I've come to understand -- of true and lasting value -- I had to be shown; words themselves could never utter such truths. And the great majority of what I was thus shown, I did not want to see at first glance. So that... if one understands what's written here... then one should thank the everlasting stars for their Supernal Light; for it would seem that they are...

True spiritual principles fail to free us because we call on them for the wrong purpose at the wrong time. Such principles are not for our protection, but to help us see, first hand, that there's no such "self" as we've imagined is in danger. Higher principles are not meant to keep us out of battles; they're intended to help us walk through them. There is no other way to discover that w...

In truth, we are never more lost to ourselves, or to the hope of realizing our own unlimited potential, than we are when we give ourselves over to the fear of what may become of our lives... for whoever takes fear as his guide follows not just the blind, but is further deceived into believing that its blinding force is the same as some new and higher power of perception!...

A few words spoken thoughtlessly have the power to crush a heart more completely than were a whole mountain to fall in upon it. A few words spoken as lies in a moment's time can create lines of fear or regret capable of spanning an entire lifetime. And yet... a few words spoken consciously in truth or kindness can transform the aspiring soul and even change the whole world. Let us choose ou...
