Though we have yet to understand it, and yet must... if we ever hope to be the best we can be, is the following truth: our awareness of any yet-to-be perfected character in our consciousness IS NOT a judgment made by the Light that has made us aware of it.

Part 1

We are not being called to be more than we are, let alone to judge ourselves when we see we have missed the mark; rather, we are here to discover ALL that we are being given, and how -- if we dare accept this unimaginable gift -- we will see it multiplied a hundredfold.

Part 2

The world giveth and the world... taketh: the time and tides of ever-changing conditions eventually prove all worldly kingdoms -- along with their castles -- will be washed away. This is why it is written in the Old Testament that all is in vain for those who struggle (like beasts) "in the field of the opposites." But, on the other hand, whatever true self-knowledge we work to recover during this lifetime can't be taken from us, and more: hidden in this revelation is the realization that, by grace, we are always being shown the truth that sets us free... but only as we are willing to embrace that revelation.

So-called “self-love” is the endless hunger of an unconscious nature for the attention of others... to feed its insatiable appetite to feel as important as it imagines itself to be.

Part 1

Once we learn what it means to see ourselves, to accept every impression as the herald of the new self-knowledge that it brings, then we will not only understand what it means to welcome each such revelation -- whether wanted, or not -- but to receive, with grace, whatever we are given to see as being true about ourselves.

Part 2

Impression is transformation; but what is transformed all depends on “who” is aware of that interaction. Every impression is the first and the last of its kind, even though -- by an act of grace -- there will appear others of a similar strain.

Spiritually speaking, all relationships serve one purpose: self-knowledge. And self-knowledge, in turn, serves a single purpose: discovering the truth of oneself: an inner awakening that serves still a higher purpose: rebirth... the reconciliation, and fulfillment of all relationships.

Part 1

It's always the right time to discover something new and true about our own nature, even if, in that moment, it feels as if what we've uncovered seems altogether wrong.



Part 2

Every quest in time is subject to the immutable laws that help to create it. So that as surely as we have seen how -- in the passage of time -- mountains become valleys, and oceans turn into vast deserts... So is it true that every condition imagined in passing time -- regardless of how fulfilling it seemed in (its) conception -- must eventually prove itself empty of its promise.

Part 1

Being is a conscious relationship with what is now; knowledge is a relationship with what was, the conditioned content of the past.



Part 2

Once we understand that all forces -- even the seemingly contradictory ones -- are secretly complementary, we stand not only on the threshold of discovering the timeless secret of letting go but, at the same time, find that we are well on our way to realizing the unconditional holiness of life.



Part 3

The awareness of the opposites is the realization of their invisible, inseparable relationship.
