Effecting Change

We all would like to change the world we see. Yet, if the methods we use to try and change the world truly effected change, would not that ideal of change be a reality? A tree with rotten roots cannot be pruned. It must be taken up from the root. Finding problems in the world and reacting to them is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Assigned Role

What role have you assigned yourself to here? Is it saving others? Is it winning? Is it sitting at the right hand of God? In your fellow man lies the road to salvation. Salvation comes not when you seek through him, and gain for yourself; rather, salvation enters when you see that loving him is the... Sign in to see full entry.

What We Teach Others

We are ever teaching our belief systems to others-not so much in the philosophies or theologies we espouse, but in the way we interact on a personal level. It is what we are being that teaches. How many of us are gracious enough to allow others to speak freely and without fear of attack? Do we... Sign in to see full entry.

Within or Without

Let not your mind interfere with your path. Learning to watch the mind is essential in transcending it, and allowing it to become an instrument of healing. Used unconsciously, it becomes a tool of destruction and conflict. There is never a time when the mind is not involved. Bringing balance into... Sign in to see full entry.

The Doorway

We must move through what we are not in this life, in order to experience what we are. One cannot exist without its opposite, in order to give it life. To experience joy, sorrow must first exist. It has many forms, but the lesson is the same. When we try to run from sorrow, or try to assuage it by... Sign in to see full entry.

Denial

How we use denial determines the outcomes we experience here in this lifetime. Albert Einstein once said, 'Very few people see with their own eyes and feel with their own heart.' Denial of how things appear is the first step towards change. It is a small willingness to step out of the comfort zone... Sign in to see full entry.

Twice Removed

What exactly is a word? Words have taken on such a predominance in our world, that we must stop and see if they merit the importance we give them. A word is nothing more than a symbol of a symbol. It is a grunt, a noise we make in a specific way that stands for a thought. That thought is a symbol of... Sign in to see full entry.

A Demonstration of Love

Truly helping others is more than what is contained in words or gestures; it is the intention to give of oneself without conditions or requirements. It is hard to sit back and watch another make obvious mistakes, but learning what not to do is part of learning nonetheless. If we interfere, the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Hidden Purpose of Being Right

Outdoing another has a purpose for the ego, but not for the true self who is love. The ego finds value in struggle. It might cloak its attack on others under the veil of 'teaching,' or 'enlightening,' or 'setting another straight;' but the true purpose is to injure, subdue, and take power away from....

Heal Yourself; Heal the World

Healing yourself is the essence of life. It is fulfilling the divine plan, and discovering the true nature of cause and effect. It is the way of love and peace. The feeling of discomfort arises in the mind, in the choice to look for what is not whole. What we see when we look out into the world is... Sign in to see full entry.
