Repeating the Same Mistakes Again and Again

Examining one's life will reveal patterns. Patterns of control, patterns of abandonment, patterns of unhappiness, etc.- these issues we all have, and they are the reason we are here. These patterns are not who we are, which is why exerting effort will not remove them. Resistance is why they exist.... Sign in to see full entry.

Enter Willingness

Pain accompanies the unwilling, for the unwilling have already conceded failure. All they lack is the experience to prove what they expect to occur. Willingness is not the opposite of unwillingness; rather, it is the choice to look within and find the source of pain. The willing trust that there is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Higher Realms

There exists a place within this place, and a timelessness within the realm of time. It has always been and always will be. The way there is open to all, because all is contained within it. Every path leads to it, for each path is essential for transcendence. Your brothers will come with you to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Wider Purpose

All that happens has a purpose. Nothing happens in vain, without an opportunity for growth and learning. You decide in each situation what is to be learned. Your beliefs about what is true is what you give away; and, by giving it away you teach it to others and learn it at the same time. Frustration... Sign in to see full entry.

The Flight of the Eagle

To go far, you must begin near. To penetrate the world of thought, the mind must be silent and watchful. To understand one mind is to understand all minds.

A Hall of Mirrors

How can one be something other than what he is? Does not a wish to become contain the seed of what it has been? A dream of ownership makes death appear real, which in turn spurs the desire to store up more against the ultimate loss. In this manner, what is light is believed to be darkness and...

Are You a Fault Finder?

When we listen to another, are we hearing what is being said; or, do we listen with the intent of pointing out mistakes? Can we truly help others find their way if our way depends on them finding theirs? Will not frustration mount, and guilt be used as an incentive? If someone does not ask for help,...

Finding Everything in Nothing

Empty a vessel first, so it can become filled. Come to rest, and discover the reason for the urge to search. Open the hands and grasp the meaning. The past cannot unravel the present; it sees what is gone, and imagines freedom from it where it does not exist. Believing yourself powerful and capable... Sign in to see full entry.

A Whisper From Above

Your Savior seems to be apart from you, but only because you have chosen to be apart from Him. He appears to come and go, according to your bidding. Yet, in truth He is ever close, and communicates to you through silence. Though infintely powerful, His voice is but a whisper from above. Demand to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Visit

Why wander homeless amongst strangers, in a dark and uncertain environment? Why must we resign ourselves to the conclusion that we are left to fend for ourselves? The world cannot provide what we truly want. We find temporary satisfaction, a glimpse of joy, a modicum of truce to be the meager... Sign in to see full entry.
