The Ethereal Voice

There is a voice that speaks, that is not our making. It is there, waiting to remind us of what we look for but cannot see. It whispers when we listen closely, without expectation of what it should be or what it might say. It speaks of unity, of love, and of giving. It honors our highest good, and...

Teaching Your Beliefs

Everyone of us teaches what we believe, because what we do, what we say, and how we respond and react to each other is a result of what we believe to be true.

The Search for Love

The insatiable desire to achieve; the constant want of recognition and reward; the dreams of being rich and famous- these behaviors are reflective of the search for unconditional love.

What My Father Taught Me

My father was a great teacher. I realize now why I am so fortunate to have had him, though for many years I held him responsible for the shortcomings of character I displayed.

"Choosing Aggression" from 'Divine Reflections'

Aggression is the world's response to weakness, for the strong have no need of defense. In order to choose to be aggressive, I must have first acknowledged myself as being alone, frightened, and vulnerable. As this state of being is false, to act from this premise only brings more feelings of fear... Sign in to see full entry.

Judgment of Others

The problems we face with others lies not in what they are doing, or what they have done; rather, it lies in the judgments we have made about ourselves. Anger arises from a perceived need for another to act in a certain manner, so that I might achieve my goals through him. An expression of anger may... Sign in to see full entry.

Discerning God's Word

What words come from God, and what words from man? How do we distinguish the difference? It might be helpful if we were to examine the effects these words have on people who use them. Do words that come from God cause fear? Or, do the words bring a sense of being loved and accepted? Do words that... Sign in to see full entry.
