Insight Timer Talks

Slowly, our wish and work to see through and outgrow the pain of our negative reactions grows into the will to be able to do so.

Growing into a new and higher level of consciousness that already dwells within and above us requires that we realize, and then outgrow the lower consciousness "beneath" us.

All negative reactions are creatures rooted in the past; they are dark shadows of old fears and sorrows gone by. No negative reaction can grow, let alone deepen its roots (within us) as long as we agree to bring them into the healing Light of higher awareness.

We cannot run away from what we don’t want to see in ourselves, any more than a mirror can escape whatever is reflected in it. And yet, to SEE the truth of this fact (about our present level of consciousness) is the action of transcending it, along with its pain.

Just as rain from the heavens starts with a single drop, so begins the journey to reclaim our right to be fearless... with each first step.

Our consistent wish and work to meet, see through, and transcend any old fear of ours... ensures we will be given the new strength we need to do so.

Inner freedom is as endless as is our wish to explore and realize its infinite possibilities.

The light of true self-knowledge grows out of our willingness to see and then enter into whatever we’ve yet to understand about ourselves; it’s a grand mystery comparable to the way in which the sun rises from out of the darkness, illuminating and revealing all that was unseen only moments before.

The fear of any imagined time to come... IS the time of fear.

Our awareness of anything pure, innocent, and beautiful - any moment realized as timeless and true - is the temporary experience of the abiding union between heaven and earth and, in that same instant, to know ourselves as its witness.

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.
