Giving Costs Nothing

We only give to ourselves. It must be done sincerely, or the gift is returned unopened. Giving in order to receive defeats the purpose, ironically; yet, when we release the gift it returns a hundredfold. We can charge ourselves up each day by making it a point to give rather than receive. What we... Sign in to see full entry.

Your Magic Wand

Did you know you have a magic wand? You can wave this wand over your life and experience the results it brings. Sound too good to be true? Belief is this tool we all possess. It can be used for good or it can appear evil. We are the deciders of its purpose. How can we find out what our beliefs are?... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks, Dad

He's gone now, having died from brain cancer. We sat together about two weeks before his death. He could no longer speak. We held hands. He said, "Scott, I..." I finished what would not come out. In that moment, we cried and we healed. I remembered the Dad who took me fishing, despite the things... Sign in to see full entry.

A Hidden Agenda

What is the subconscious? Is it real or imagined? Is it something that can hurt us, or heal us by discovering it? Is it our creation or outside our control? It seems as though the mind has a hidden agenda much of the time. Try as we may, we reap the ill effects of its endless search for security... Sign in to see full entry.

What is Your Grievance?

It's amazing that we go through our lives holding grievances, thinking that they actually help us and protect us. Surely we are aware of our day to day grievances-the guy who slights us at work; the maniac who cuts us off in traffic; a hospital bill that was mishandled. These are day to day...

Surrender and Listen

The 'small, still voice within' is our truest guide, our most loving friend, and our source of infinite wisdom. We can learn to listen to what it has to say, despite what the world has conditioned us to believe about paying attention to it. A true teacher outside of us in the world teaches his...

Truth is a Living Thing

Where does the truth lie? Is it possible to be within a mind that seeks it? Is it in the word or the image? We might see truth in another's statements about life, about the working of the mind, or about another's inability to see things for what they are. But there is a subtlety involved in an...

Seeing What Was

When we look outside ourselves, we are seeing what was. I was looking at the 16 cometary impact points on Jupiter some years ago through my telescope, and suddenly realized I wasn't looking at anything but a memory of what was. It takes thirty minutes for the light to reach Earth. Many of the stars... Sign in to see full entry.

A Prayer is Always Answered

If we expand our view of prayer to include a fervent statement of what is so, then we can see God working in our lives on a daily basis. I used to think that God was inaccessible; I had to approach Him in a certain way, and even then He chose to answer some and not other prayers. This left a large,... Sign in to see full entry.

How Desire Can Push Things Away

Thank you for coming here and sharing this experience of discovery with me. What I would like to explore today is how wanting something actually prevents the experience of having it. When we want something badly, we are making the statement that we do not presently have it. We have reversed the... Sign in to see full entry.
