Insight Timer Talks

The one who awakens is no more troubled over what others may think of him or her than is the sun concerned by people who complain it rises too early, or sets too late!

The proof that every moment - including the most painful of them - is unlimited in its Divine possibility is that one soul perishes for the fear of them, while another (soul) is perfected, and liberated by the same.

Real faith and true freedom go hand-in-hand, because no one is free who lives in fear, and fear cannot live in the one who has faith.

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!

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.

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 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.

Unseen attachments, negative imagination, and unconscious identification with the body of their conditioned demands has incarnated a kind of dark trinity: a false sense of “self” whose fear we’ve been deceived into believing we must protect at all costs, or otherwise face some terrible consequence.

Resisting the revelation of any existing limitation is like resenting the ocean because you never learned how to swim!

If we will refuse to fill unwanted moments with what we imagine we must have – or do – to feel secure and free, we will soon witness those same dark moments being filled with the fearless Light of an unimaginable Life.

Allowing any part of (your) self to act in such a way as to deny you 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.

Before we can hope to realize a true, new beginning in this life, we must agree to bring about a true, new end to all that we have been before.
