The real reason people remain captives of unwanted circumstances in their lives is because they've yet to realize this great spiritual secret: Resistance is negative attraction. In other words: the longer we dwell on what we don't want in life, the larger grows that dark dwelling place in which we find ourselves living.
~~~
You need not answer to any disturbance within you. Any form of response to a negative state, other than to silently observe it, is always a form of resistance to it. And what we resist persists.

The truth never causes pain. The only pain in a crisis is the false self's resistance to the truth.

Remember, this lower nature is happy with its current disorderly existence. You lose when it wins, and it wins by getting you to deny or protect your mistake. Denying any problem makes you its guardian and leaves you chained to being wrong.
~~~
You are not tied to any past mistake unless you lash yourself to it.

This mental and emotional ""baggage"" -- carried over from the past -- is literally a kind of block ""wall"" that stands between you, and the unlimited...

Being relieved of a great debt has to be one of the most liberating feelings in the world. A weight is off your back. A nagging doubt is off your mind. A limitation on your future is washed away. We know this is true when it comes to financial debt. And it's even more true when it comes to another form of debt that most of us don't even know exists, let alone that we're racking up...

Each of us longs to grow beyond who and what we have been every day, answering that wish within us to become better, brighter human beings. But as we all know too well, nothing moves in a straight line! We all make mistakes along the way. We have to. That's part of what makes us human; blunders along the way are an inescapable part of the process of our own perfection. But used rightly, t...
