Resistance recreates -- and then reinstates -- whatever it opposes, including the false sense of self that keeps trying -- in vain -- to free itself from whatever it doesn’t want to see is true about itself!

Part 1

Here’s one of the reasons the mind won’t stop it’s incessant chattering: we’ve become so identified with being in the company of all the (familiar) voices in our head, we actually fear their silence means that, somehow, we’ve been left alone, or forsaken.

Part 2

Talking to ourselves ensures we remain the unwitting captive of a lower level of consciousness that never stops judging us, others, or the world through which we walk!

Part 3

All forms of self-talk are an unconscious, yet “deliberate” intervention in our intended participation in the revelation and fulfillment of creation.

Part 1

Before we can hope to stop reliving any unwanted moment from our past, we must see that our experience of it is inseparable from how we ourselves have named it.

Part 2

A name itself has no memory, but memory makes the name.

There can be no greater wealth than higher self-knowledge. And once we realize this truth -- so that we prize transcendent wisdom above all other possibilities -- every moment, wanted or not, serves as the secret path to the spiritual summit of ourselves.

Only in a world turned upside-down could someone actually believe that his daily dose of stress, anxiety, and despair somehow proves he is as special as he imagines himself to be.

Part 1

Allowing any part of self to act in such a way as to deny yourself a new awareness of yourself -- whatever its quality -- is the same as refusing your right to realize the limitless depth and breadth of your true Self.

Part 2

Resistance to any form of painful desire is how (that) desire ensures its “fire” never goes out. To see the truth of this revelation is the first step required of anyone who seeks to be released from their unconscious relationship with this self-induced form of suffering.

If we know better than to look for the living in a grave yard, then why don’t we know better than to listen to old thoughts and feelings that keep promising us a new life, but that we’ve already seen -- time and time again -- have proven themselves to be dead on arrival.

It’s your life, your work, and at all times you receive from life what you sow into it; if you don’t like what life is giving you, learn to ask for something else.

Thought is a stoppage; it is an impediment in the celestial circulation of new impressions created to refresh the consciousness in which they appear.

It is impossible to hear the "Voice of Heaven" -- to be in any level of communication with what is Divine in nature -- and be talking to yourself at the same time.

Any form of some painful, or otherwise conflict-filled negative reaction only persists -- as such -- in a world whose creator assists with -- and supports -- the reason for the continuation of that suffering.

Part 1

My most contented hours are those filled with emptiness; and I regret -- as comes their appointed time -- having to fill these precious moments with what is little more than the mandatory, but mostly empty business of this world: attending to all of the virtually endless forms that are, at best, shadows of the real... at worst, vanities.

Part 2

Whatever may be troubling you, just let it go: the hand, the heart that resists and then fears any sudden sense of emptiness is neither your hand, nor your heart. Your True Self is empty of useless, painful resistance... and full of the Light that reveals it as such.
