Overcoming Obstacles

This is a fitting post, as I am running late for work this morning. I was thinking about how I was going to view this mistake, and I decided to relax and not fault myself in any way. It's no coincidence that we have obstacles in our paths. They are here for the gift that is contained within them, if... Sign in to see full entry.

The Book of Names

My wife has a book entitled 'Just The Perfect Name.' Besides the list of names for boys and girls, the names themselves are traced to their meaning. I had a curious thought. What if our names are no accident? What if they reveal our character? I decided to look up my name, Scott. You know what it... Sign in to see full entry.

Peace and Comfort

A subtle choice is made when we interact with others, which defines our state of mind and ultimately our feelings of safety and comfort. That choice is either to love or to fear. It has nothing to do with who we see, and everything to do with how we see. Why do we judge others? What payoff exists... Sign in to see full entry.

Rose Colored Glasses

What I see outside of me is the result of my judgments about myself. This decision to see myself as someone other than who I really am creates my perceptions, and makes the things I place my attention upon appear as if they were doing things to me. The price of pleasure is the pain of loss. The... Sign in to see full entry.

The Goal

Wanting precludes having, just as surely as judging prevents seeing. Thinking is a device that is used as a means to having. It serves no other purpose, but to carry itself toward a goal and then measuring how well it attained it. The way out of problems that thinking creates, therefore, is to see...

Gain the World; Lose Yourself

I do not regret missing an opportunity, or failing to finish what I started. Neither do I regret picking up a mess, or stopping to fix what is broken. What I do regret is losing my patience. And for what? That I might obtain what I am trying to accomplish? That is all anger teaches: that I cannot... Sign in to see full entry.

Beautiful Being

My existence is a paradox. I am neither here nor there, but everywhere; I am everyone, but no one. I descend unexpectedly, and flood the landscape with color and richness of light. I paint the faces with smiles and I chuckle at the secret that is shared within them. Do not try to hold me. I will... Sign in to see full entry.

The Divine Channel

Inherent in each person is the ability to attune himself to a higher frequency, using his mind as an open channel for reception. The only prerequisite is in the asking for communion. It may be done with prayer, 'I am' statements, or a sincere desire to experience divinity. Stillness is the open... Sign in to see full entry.

Above The Law

God need not enforce His law, because it is in perfect harmony with the universe and with humankind. It is pervasive and without flaws, but it can be ignored, denied, and covered over by individual will. The appearances of the world and its laws exist as a projection of man's will, as the cause of... Sign in to see full entry.

Be Silent and Listen

Be silent and listen. Listen and fall silent. These two states of being complement each other, and following one always leads to the experience of the other. It is no coincidence, then that listen and silent are made of exactly the same letters. Listening is born out of silence. To hear, the mind... Sign in to see full entry.
