    We can't have a true need without there existing that which is intended to fulfill it. But we have to allow the need to be there, wait, and watch the part of us that attempts to resolve the need with its own will. Then we discover that the resolution to any question we might have is within the question itself.

    There is no "self" without relationship. In reality, the observer and the observed do not exist apart from one another. However, in the absence of higher awareness, the lower level of self believes that it is separate from what it sees as being outside of itself. This is the source of suffering.

    Heaven is understood through its reflection on this Earth. It is a mistake to imagine that we can directly understand the Divine's plan with the thinking mind. Even if we have a good understanding of spiritual principles, the thought is not the heavenly principle itself. Whatever we are feeling in any given moment is a reflection of a principle that we can be in relationship with.

    If we want to have a new relationship with life, we cannot continue to keep the company of chaotic thoughts that only serve to ensure that we remain the same person that we have always been. The Divine will come into our lives if it is invited, but we have to provide the space.

    You probably have heard about the idea of "the straw that breaks the camel's back." Whether we are aware of it or not, we all fear how we are going react when we reach that point. This is where patience comes in... not patience with something outside of ourselves, but patience in watching and bearing the strong reaction that feels like it needs to be expressed.

    Each and every one of us is given a very particular essence, a very distinct quality that we bring into this life with us that is intended to be developed and integrated during our life. Although we ourselves are not the creators of our essence, our responsibility is to do the work that the Divine has given us, which is to attend to its development.

    Anytime we get a glimpse of the fact that we've made a mess of things in our lives, something in us quickly jumps in to cover it up and pretend that everything is fine. It is only when we no longer avoid seeing the fact of our situation and can finally admit "I don't like what I've made" that an atonement can take place.

    You are in between worlds, and both have their own gravitational pull. It is only in the silence of complete attention that you can detect and be aware of any thoughts that are trying to drag you down into the world below you. When Christ said "I go before you to make the crooked places straight" he was referring to a nature within that is intended to connect you, through your attention, to th...

    The day will come when you understand that you are intended to be a "message catcher of the Divine" waiting for its breeze to touch you and bring new understanding into your heart. But in order to receive its message, you need to wait in the one place where it can touch you -- in stillness.
