The more we awaken to realize our true role in life is to fill the gap between "what is" with "what has been" -- by agreeing to die to any part of us that would otherwise interfere with its atonement -- the more we see the truth that sets us free: our willingness to make this sacrifice aligns us, on the spot, with an ineffable peace that is inseparable from actualizing our Divine responsibility...

Part 1: There is nothing you can possess in this world of passing time that will not eventually prove itself worthless... And yet, as unwanted as this indisputable fact of life may be, that's its value! So then, why wait to see the truth of this when, by embracing it, you might just be set free. Part 2: Powers, possessions, all forms of worldly knowledge (regardless how full, or clever...

The chief cause of any psychological fear is a false belief that life can throw something at us greater than our ability to outgrow both that unwanted moment... and the lower level of self that fears it. We are betrayed by this belief only because we have yet to awaken to this Truth that sets us free: Within each of us lives -- no matter what our culture, tradition, or religious background -...

If it is in our heart, at all... not just the wish to be free, but to no longer bring conflict or bitterness into the lives of those around us, then here is our great task...

When you realize that no one else on this earth can be like you -- that no other soul can know the beauty, sorrow, light, and darkness you alone have been given to see -- then you will no longer want to be like anyone else on this earth. You will, at last, be the fearless discoverer of all that is true about the worlds around and within you, and in the Light of this Grace... be set free.

The end of suffering is not found in the pursuit of freedom from suffering, but in realizing the divided nature of desire that imagines and identifies with a pain-free time or a place to come, only to imprison itself in a fear it may lose the heaven it has imagined...

Part 1 Each time we agree, knowingly or not, to lie to ourselves about ourselves -- and therefore to others, as well -- there's no escaping the following fact: to lie is the same as denying the Truth that sets us free; which is exactly what our lower nature hopes to achieve in its almost ceaseless effort to deceive us however it can. Part 2 The never-ending journey of trying to set...

Life gives. Life asks. And when, at last, we are willing to surrender whatever Life may ask of us, excluding nothing -- let alone our most familiar sense of self -- then, for having died to the fear of death we are set free.

What are we actually talking about when we speak of letting go? After all, no one wants to let go of something that has proven itself to be satisfying! Whatever it is that we wish to let go of must be something from which we wish to be free. This may be unpleasant or troubling relationships, a problem-filled past or fearful future, any form of addiction, recent painful events -- or any of thos...

What do we need to do to rise above the limitations of our present understanding -- limitations that, seen or not, play a role in our daily dose of heartache? The answer may surprise you! Truth teachings throughout the ages tell us that healing the hidden and hurting places in our heart begins with becoming conscious of them. We are taught that we cannot free ourselves of anything that we refu...

Here is why rushing from place to place -- from thought to thought -- is the same as going nowhere at all: in one's constant haste to reach the end of some self-spun story -- where he dreams he will, at last, claim the peace he imagines awaits him there -- he runs right by the truth he must see... that is, if he wishes to be set free: there is no story he can tell himself that doesn't develop,...
