Do we not try to escape the stress we have by further imagining ways to relieve ourselves from the circumstances held responsible for it? And the more we do to create for ourselves an enclave in which we will no longer be confronted with the trouble, the more we isolate ourselves, and the greater the problem becomes because we increasingly resist anything not part of what we've..."
Whenever we find ourselves identified with some dark stream of thoughts and feelings, as opposed to being quietly aware of their downward-trending presence, we fall -- in that same moment -- into a world filled with unwanted negative states. The reason so much of what's going on within and around us seems "bad" is because that's all we can see. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, s...
Almost every day I receive a letter, an e-mail, or phone call from an aspirant who wants to know, essentially, the following: "What must I do to succeed spiritually?" Or, in a slight variation on that theme: "What's the right way to do what I must in order to awaken?" There's little doubt as to the sincerity of these questions – but the problem is this: true spirituality is not something that...
There is nothing in the universe that can stop us from growing, except our habitual, mechanical nature.
Since I have begun to learn to stay quiet and observe thoughts and see them for what they truly are, I have been set free from several vices I had previously "thought" I would die with. This happened quite effortlessly, and I know in my heart that I have found Truth. When I attempted to tell a Christian friend of mine of the freedom that I have experienced as a result of "letting go," he becam...
A common anxiety is the haunting feeling that things aren’t as they should be. But you can live in another world where painful stress is transformed into the seed of true self-command. The gateway to this higher world is self-realization. This eCourse shows you how to get there using a host of powerful methods that invite the Light of the Divine to lift you above any dark thought or feeling.
Our true nature -- the free mind -- is a perfect warning system for detecting and, with our cooperation, rejecting any and all psychic intruders. Its uncommon intelligence never complies with the presence, or demands, of any fearful negative state.
Almost every day I receive a letter, an e-mail, or phone call from an aspirant who wants to know, essentially, the following: "What must I do to succeed spiritually?" Or, in a slight variation on that theme: "What's the right way to do what I must in order to awaken?"
If we are truthful about our life experience though, it is obvious that as long as we believe we have something to lose because of our identification with any temporary exterior condition or circumstance, we remain subject to every outer condition.
Whenever we consent to, or otherwise agree with anyone's dark assessment of his or her life, we are telling this person, "Yes, that is true (about you). No doubt life couldn't be any other way; after all . . . what else can you do?" In these sentiments is hidden a secret message that effectively says: "Sure . . . I understand the prison you are in and -- given your conditions -- it's only logi...
We must learn what it means to reach for a whole new place within ourselves; to find and stand upon a Higher Ground from where it's possible to see that our present thoughts and feelings reveal only a fraction of the whole of our possible experience -- instead of being what now defines our whole world for us through their conditioned and incomplete perception of it. Reversing this unconscious...
