Tower of Strength

We are ever erecting castles, which fortify and sustain us or prove to have no lasting foundation. Strangely enough, it is not in what we choose to erect, but in how we erect these structures that proves their efficacy. These castles are the outcome of our 'I am' statements, which are constantly... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Not a Victim

The world is but a reflection of an inner choice, which is constantly being made before the act of looking out. If I choose to value myself by my associations, then I am creating a condition that appears to hold me prisoner. Playing the role of victim implies many things: that I am powerless before...

Finding Peace

Peace is not found through punishment of wrongs, or finding faults, or through winning contests. The more we declare others to be at fault, the more fear and loss of peace is experienced. Our relationships with others are a paradox: we find what we look for in them, but we cannot find what we look... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Created Man?

We can speculate endlessly about our origins, whether we espouse the idea of having been created by deity or evolutionary means; yet, the certainty we desire by doing so will remain elusive as long as the mind seeks an answer through analysis.

The Past is Gone

What is actually here, now? Can we think in the present moment, and actually be aware of it? Or, do we think and thus bring the past to meet the moment?

The Belief in Sin

Sin is more than a set of arbitrary infractions, that vary from one religion to the next and from person to person. Sin is the belief that we are incomplete, flawed, and lacking the necessary properties essential to knowing God intimately. From this judgment of ourselves, we attempt to close the gap...

Gentle Catharsis

Purging the subconscious of its beliefs is the purpose of enlightenment. We may try to become more spiritual, more enlightened; but, if we cannot look at ourselves honestly and uncover our deeply rooted beliefs, then what lies beyond them will never be experienced. At our deepest level, we believe... Sign in to see full entry.

Leave No Stone Unturned

The framework of reality can often appear solid and impenetrable; yet, if the mind suffers pain and sorrow, then clearly that reality is self-created and functioning separately from truth. Doubt what others say. The desire to feel secure will lead to the appearance of truth. Truth, on the other... Sign in to see full entry.

Divine Guidance

Call it what you will, but there is a part of you that can and does access divine wisdom. By following this guidance, you can transcend the laws that appear to govern you here. Since we create our dilemmas, does it not make sense to think that the solution is something foreign, or even outlandish?... Sign in to see full entry.

Thoughts are Things

Do not underestimate your mind's power to create reality. What you think is what you are, and what you are is what you will experience. Thoughts are things, and draw upon a God-given ability to mold and bring to life that which is dwelt upon. Any circumstance can be surmounted. Any situation can be... Sign in to see full entry.
