In difficult moments with others let us remember this truth: it is better to find ourselves lacking the love we need to be kind -- and to quietly suffer this humiliation -- than it is to act from what is unkind by lashing out to blame another as a way of hiding our weakness.

Each moment is unique; never to come again... and this includes all of our relationships as they're revealed through the celestial conditions that converge to create them. This is why our one real wish should be -- as best we're able to remember it -- to never rush through any moment of life; otherwise we lose the always new and higher possibilities inherent in its very appearance.

One of the most shocking and necessary discoveries along the path is that what we love does not love us. We are filled all the time with powerful feelings and emotions that seem to lift or otherwise provide purpose and self-worth. It is not too much to say that most of these inner states are lies -- hopelessly incomplete of themselves, and seeking completion in some secret opposite that they g...

Why do I feel let down when I ask for help in doing a task and see that a family member is not concerned with the request? If they were doing the asking, the situation would be different -- that is, they would be upset if I didn't help them! I worry about why...

No one sees, Save through Higher Thought Truth is revealed . . . By what is not.

All relationships suffer when stagnation sets in; whether in a pond or our personal dealings with others, everything must be continually refreshed in order to realize its true potential. For us this means each re-appearance of some old resentment, fear, or regret, chokes the life out of our chance to love one another, which is our spiritual responsibility. What's so hard for us to understand i...

The hardest thing to remember whenever we find ourselves getting angry with someone for having done something "stupid" is that nothing is more stupid than being angry at someone who -- if he could have done better than he did in that moment -- would have!...

Topics covered: Nature's creatures serve the nature that has created them; Man is created for the purpose of seeing himself; Attending to the whole of the moment both interiorly and exteriorly; Self-observation is the most rudimentary thing for a person to do and should come naturally; How can you be moved to act against yourself and not know it; There is no static state for the human being; I...

Topics explored in this dialogue: There's a disconnect between what we hear in church vs. what our lives are really like day to day; Real forgiveness is found in similarity, when I see you and I are the same; We have become more defined by what we're against than what we're for; I can either continue to blame & hate, or I can wake up to the hater.
