What's Your Hurry?

Consider for one minute why you decide not to rest. Is it the fear of letting go? Or, is it the fear of losing ground? Perhaps, by thinking this way, all the work in the world will not satisfy your demand for attainment. The purpose of time is not to have what you are not; rather, it is to teach...

Self-Control and Discipline

Are we ever in control? There's a vast difference between being in control and being controlling. One relies on faith and the other on fear as a guide. Try to be in control and you will find yourself controlling others. This is a state of being completely out of control. Things rarely go as planned,... Sign in to see full entry.

Every Flower Grows Through Dirt

You are a flower, however deflowered you believe yourself to be. All of your experiences serve a unique purpose: they are the breeding grounds through which you may become self-realized. Nothing happens by accident. There are no coincidences. This is beyond the comprehension of the mind;... Sign in to see full entry.

Heaven and Earth

Heaven descends to earth when the mind no longer struggles to be free. It has looked upon itself with love, and glimpsed how it has taught itself to be afraid. What we look upon outwardly is a product of our conclusions. We see lack because we have given less than who we are to our relationships.... Sign in to see full entry.

Finding Peace

Peace cannot be found; for, finding implies knowing. Yet, knowing invalidates the need to look. How does the mind know when it has found what it does not already possess? Peace settles on the mind that sees that its restless search to attain is what has caused its lack of peace. It stands to reason,... Sign in to see full entry.

Disagreement Equals Discontent

What does it mean to agree? Is it the opposite of disagreement, or is it a decision not to choose? What if our criterion for agreement were made clear? Would it be based on preference; e.g., what sounds 'right', or 'just', or 'fair'? Can our judgments ever be complete, or are we constantly changing... Sign in to see full entry.

What Causes Hatred?

With so much tension and restlessness abounding in our midst, it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause of why we feel disgust and hatred for certain people. Is it the person, or what he has done or said? Is it even about him at all? If we are able to give this feeling a face and a name, it becomes... Sign in to see full entry.

A Pit Bull Teaches Love

I adopted him against my mom's 'better' judgment. "You did what?" She replied to me, as I stood in the kitchen and looked down at his wagging tail. "We adopted a pit bull." Despite all my research into these remarkable animals, my subconscious had been fed a plethora of fear-based material about pit... Sign in to see full entry.

Demanding Acceptance

From the moment we leave the womb, we enter a condition that makes it appear that unconditional love cannot exist. Our parents, who are the primary influences, demonstrate that love contains disapproval, mistakes in judgment, controlling with fear, guilt, and anger, and almost constant expectation....

Changing Others' Minds

What do we hope to accomplish when we feel another should see our view of things? Is it a hope of saving them from harm, or rather a hope of saving ourselves through them? We can effect change not through changing others' minds, but through changing how we choose to see others. The mistakes I see in... Sign in to see full entry.
