It already is all that has been created . . . And It is what witnesses its Self being revealed in time,Which means . . . It already is all that will ever be revealed. It is the self it sees. It is the seer of that self. It is whatever that self will see. It is outside of the time in which it reveals itself, So that nothing in time can frighten, or...

You are the field, and the Timeless Treasure hidden within it so . . . Why seek elsewhere? Not to mention that every other field that you go out looking for; including whatever treasure you may uncover there; already dwells within you, as well. But . . . these fields, and their riches always pass in time. They are but reflections of the Real... Illusions...

False wishes, like most empty prayers are usually born when times get rough and -- much as do cut flowers -- lose their fragrance as soon as the tempest passes. A true wish, like any real prayer may have its roots in difficult times but, once born in the human heart, it never dies; it lives on, shining new light and lending new meaning to every moment of life for the one...

We who would know a measure of Christ's life – who wish to both witness, and be a conscious instrument of (that) perfect love – must agree to see, and then realize an unseen contradiction in us that first defines, and then confines us to what is a death-bound lower level of being. On one hand – especially in public, and always silently self-pleasing...

The fact that attention can be the beginning of devotion, acting as the herald of humility, or that its misuse corrupts the soul, reveals a great, yet unseen reality: The kingdom of heaven is a River of Being. It is the very Life through which it flows, and upon whose far-flung shores all things come to exist, grow, die, and be born again. This River flows in two...

I see . . . that I have been of a warring spirit, commanded by its nature – but now I see the futility of war. I see . . . that I seek to command, to control all that moves around me because . . . I have no command of anything that moves within me that makes me hostage of a will seemingly beyond my ability to contest. I see that . . . I am a thing moved, challenged by...

All forms of (persistent) discontentment in one's life are evidence of some deep-seated need that has gone unanswered – this much is evident. But what we don't see is that nothing we've been given to dream has the power to dismiss this (kind of) suffering . . . to bring it to an end. Taken altogether these self-evident facts point to an unthinkable realization, and subsequ...

When it comes to our wish to make real changes in ourselves, good intentions cost (us) nothing...and that's why the road to hell is paved with useless coins. On the other hand, making a conscious effort to change -- in the moment that calls for it -- comes with the cost of seeing ourselves as we really are – this awareness shows us not only the possibility of being release...

"The fox blames the trap." But, a wise person, shaking – quaking in a sudden awaked-ness after being caught in a trap of his or her own devices – doesn't fall into the second trap: blaming others for the pain of seeing what they alone have wrought. It may seem incomprehensible – especially to the "clever" fox – but there is a nature in the human an...
