None of our thoughts – even the most sublime – have the power to change the fact that we are ceaselessly . . . in thought. As such, we live in a perpetual dream of freedom that is the nature of captivity itself – an unwitting adherent to a level of consciousness that is – at once – the process and the pain born of being identified with a string of...

It's there...and then it's not, The shadow of the sun. You can neither control the moment it appears, Nor the way it runs to hide itself, Mingling in the shadow of dusk... Until it simply just disappears. So it is with loneliness: It is the shadow Of the One that cannot show itself directly. Loneliness is the shadow of Love. Only the blind try to catch and tame its shadow Where time too soo...

When a person looks at themselves and sees something inadequate, the real inadequacy is not the thing (in them) that's being judged, but that they're asleep to a nature that's judging them. Any...

The following 7 Golden Rules of True Self-Fulfillment are not the same as the laws that govern this world; nor are they what govern the lives of the vast majority of the men and women who crawl upon it. As is true of all creatures, these individuals have the life they serve; by law, their nature is their experience. These 7 rules are for those who wish to know, to be one with the Divine Life...

The only thing that can happen to you when you're in the wrong place is a wrong thing. But even when you find yourself in a "wrong place" inwardly, you don't have to remain there. The way to turn any painful interior location into an act of self-liberation is by daring to exchange that false sense of self you've found there for the awareness of your momentary mistaken identity. Following are...

Your willingness to study, absorb, and then work on these four special practices will provide you with rewards that go beyond this lifetime. So that the more you learn to treasure the insights they are designed to reveal, the freer you will be for all time. I believe the more I comfort and fill myself with thoughts of a "brighter tomorrow," the better off I am: But I can see...all discontent...

We are all notes. We are all the notes of the kingdom. Each of us is able to resonate with things we would never dream could produce either such a soothing or scary resonance in us. What should be evident in this fact is that when the "sound," or manifestation, of someone else sets us off and sends us into a fit, it is not their vibration that vexes us and makes us a "victim." What really dist...

The sudden touch of hearing, reading, or seeing something True doesn't so much move us up and into the perfect pitch of Stillness, as does this inner quickening – the ineffable feeling of Forever – sound out, all at once, the music of the spheres within us. And as these celestial notes, silent the moment before, sing out, we join in the Song of Life. This Divine stillness consumes...

There is nothing greater to do with one's life than to make an offering of it. In some ways, some days, this kind of sacrifice may feel as if it amounts to nothing, and to no end; but even that feeling must be given up, offered to the small flame of understanding that we are here, on earth, for a given purpose that we cannot know until, and as we fulfill it...much as the wick of a candle migh...

Nothing comes into existence that wasn't always, and already, a part of it. We can't "improve" awareness; neither can we refine compassion, nor strengthen kindness, or patience; the will to suffer oneself for the sake of another cannot be enhanced. We can only realize the presence of these heaven-born characters, and then work to return to their celestial realm, agreeing to instrument them to...

Most find it hard to consider objective teachings concerning the reality of higher kingdoms; those invisible, interior mansions that reside no farther away than our realization of them; because even the faintest light of such a possibility; suddenly reflected upon the mirror of our soul; disturbs the dust that has slowly gathered there.This stirring of Light remind...

Getting to the root of the root in us...will never be reached through any act of the intellect, regardless how astute it may be with analyzing things. Being able to connect negative reactions to their hidden root requires a willingness to "pull back and out" from oneself (and the reaction). One must work to see the nature that's reacting, and not what it gives us to look at, blame, or otherwis...
