When we understand that our true purpose in life is to grow in the Wisdom of God's Plan, and that this Wisdom we seek itself seeks us to help it unfold in Goodness, then we also realize that whatever disappointments we encounter along the Way must themselves be a part of Wisdom's Eternal Plan. It is for this New Wisdom that we are spared from falling through that darkened door called discourag...

Topics covered:  In spite of all of the knowledge gained, in the unwanted moment, a part of us still tries to find ways to escape from the condition. But you cannot run from your own shadow. The shadow is the illusion of a self apart from the Divine; The "un-power" that opens the door to perfect freedom is the understanding that there is really one power; The Yin-Yang symbol depicts "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." The white empties itself into the black, and the black empties itself into the white. For instance: Life and death, that seem to be opposites, are not opposites at all. Life and death are one movement.

In this video, we'll explore the concept that the only conflict we ever truly face is the one within us. It's not the world or the people around us, but the outdated ideas, beliefs, and identities that we cling to that keep us trapped in circles of frustration. When we recognize this, life can no longer be a battle. It becomes a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

One reason why negative states sneak in so easily to steal our peace is that we have been conditioned to believe in their right to punish us. Here is proof of this dark conspiracy: We can be seated at a nice quiet table in a restaurant, have enough money to buy a fine meal for ourselves, have on nice clean clothes, be by ourselves or with friends, and for all of our good fortune, we will get...

Part 1 We are created with the capacity to choose the worlds we are aware of, to use our powers of reason to not just realize the existence of more timeless domains, but to see the futility of spending time in pursuit of those powers and pleasures that make a level of existence that must pass -- passable -- for a time. Part 2 Better to have a small taste of life's True Meaning, then...

"Simon" is a symbol; it isn't some one distinct character any more than joy has one face. "Simon" represents a relationship between different levels of consciousness in the midst of their constant communication. Our trouble is that we mechanically identify with parts of this "dialogue" and say "I" to something that is not who we are. This is why by working to observe ourselves -- by bein...

The desperate search for happiness is the continuation of unhappiness. Happiness is never driven to look for itself. It is itself...

When the soul cries out to Spirit to carry her to a New World beyond the boundaries of this earthly domain, she is calling for the Winds of Heaven to sweep down, fill her tattered, empty sails, and take her safely away...

When it comes to our wish to make real changes in ourselves, good intentions cost (us) nothing... and that's why the road to hell is paved with useless coins. On the other hand, making a conscious effort to change -- in the moment that calls for it -- comes with the cost of seeing ourselves as we really are; this awareness shows us not only the possibility of being released from our worry an...

It takes practice to perfect doing nothing, Not that this Work isn't native to your soul. Only that so much of u...

Every living thing is searching for something to fulfill itself. Raindrops rush down to slake the thirst of a parched earth, even as water-laden clouds are drawn high into the skies so they can pour themselves out. Streams seek out rivers that rush down to merge with the sea. It's really quite clear: the great circle of life is imbued with a unique kind of "gravity."

Special Insight: Never mind how much there may be to do, or how hard some task appears to be. Get one thing done and then, take that step again. Consciously brush aside any other concerns.
