Part 1
When we rest in patience, life never fails to reveal the silent wholeness of its celestial design. But without it, we are condemned to a fruitless labor: defending not only the painful illusion that our imagined life is meant to continue uninterrupted, but also that everyone and everything in it exists solely to ensure that nothing disturbs -- let alone challenges -- what we've imagined life to be.
Part 2
What begins unconsciously must end unconsciously unless awareness intervenes. But what is seen wholly in the light of awareness is transformed. The reaction ends, the false identity with it dissolves, freeing at once the captive energy, as well as the level of consciousness formerly bound by it.
Part 3
We must learn to rest in the ending of something -- not escape it, not resist it, but quietly remain ever-present to what feels like a painful inner trial. Only in the silent light of this awareness can we see the promise of a liberating truth that can be realized in no other way: the end we fear is the unseen seed of a new beginning.
