The more we resist -- and suffer over -- any moment that proves we don't possess the strength we imagine ourselves as having -- the further removed we are from recognizing the real healing lesson these moments bring with them: the realization that the source of this suffering -- over our alleged "weakness" -- is the painful conclusion born of a false belief that we already know...

Part 1: Love is an endless journey nestled into a self-perfecting plan that can't be "seen," only lived; its never-ending path unfolds within a timeless Kingdom wherein everyone - and everything - we meet along the way is our traveling partner. Part 2: Every moment is a marriage made in heaven; why are you still standing outside the door?

Trying to assign blame to the stress between you and the one with whom you are in a struggle... is like trying to judge which side of the rope in a tug-of-war is to be blamed for the tension (in it).

Resistance can never be escaped; all efforts to flee (from) its eternal touch are an act of unseen "vanity." However, (it) can be used, consciously, as the irreplaceable force it is... to help reveal What Is Real: a Kingdom of Light within whose awareness there is no longer a struggle to be free because -- by its Light -- we can see into and through a lower level of consciousness that...

Trying to change our exterior relationship to life without having first allowed it to reveal what needs to be changed within us... is like trying to change our reflection in a mirror because we see something in it we don't like.

The real reason why our heroes in life often turn out to be "zeros"... is because our "number" was up in the same moment that we went looking for strength anywhere outside of our True Self.

The only real problem we have with any unwanted moment in life -- regardless how stressed, or conflicted may seem its temporary character... is that we have yet to see our unconscious involvement in its creation, and subsequent appearance.

Even our most difficult moments in life soon prove themselves to be the seed of a new, and higher level of being... but only when -- and as -- we're willing to receive whatever these same moments have come to show us about our present level of consciousness.

It may seem otherwise, but there is no separation between the revelation of any given moment, and the consciousness in and through which that revelation is (made) known.

More often than not, aspirants fail to see the following truth that -- only as realized -- sets the stage for a new and unimaginable spiritual order of freedom: spiritual facts, left to themselves -- regardless how elevated or sublime -- morph into an unseen psychological trap: a literal web of soul-entangling concepts that, when not consciously acted on...

The truth that sets us free -- but not until we see the fact of it -- is that we are never powerless; our first, and ultimately greatest limitation is that we don't know what real power is... let alone how to enter into its stream.

If thoughts are cheap, and negative states are a dime a dozen, then what does that tell us about the parts of us that like spending most of their time identifying with them?
