Truthful self-seeing is the beginning of having an authentic life... one in which we learn that the initial bitterness of self-truthfulness is the front-runner of our ultimate spiritual betterment.

The birth of true will begins with your discovery that -- at your present level of spiritual development -- you have none; that what you have always called "doing" is no different than a puppet dreaming it pulls its own strings... in spite of the fact that, more often than not, the puppet is moved to act against itself and others. Only through the love of something unknowable within yourself,...

Part I: Unlike setting out to return home from some distant place removed from it, where one must close the distance daily by dedicated effort, the journey to your spiritual home is not a question of having to close some imagined distance between you and your True Heart, but of realizing that no such distance ever really existed to keep you and your God apart.

The spiritual search for the "old nature" set against you... isn't a "snipe hunt." The source of human misery is not a myth; so that if you've yet to see the beast of self-centeredness, if you don't recognize this creature for what it is -- and where -- it lurks within you... then at least learn to look for its tracks. That way, you might one day trace them back to its dark lair, where lie a...
