Freedom from fear must come before the fear that searches for freedom.

Stop complaining. Start changing. The appearance of every moment comes with an unseen pair of "buttons": One says "down", and the other says "up", which means that the direction that your life goes in is your choice.

Love grows around love. Hatred grows around hatred. This is why we must be ever so careful when it comes to the kind of thoughts and feelings that are continually, unconsciously being cultivated in our heart.

Real life is a perfect stream of what is always being made new; to enter its current, we must agree to see, sacrifice, and shed whatever is keeping us from being a conscious part of its flow.

Might as well try to lose your shadow by running away from the sun as hope to escape the painful reactions inherent in remaining spiritually asleep.

Part 1: The only thing gained by any lie you tell yourself, or to others, is the soon to be shattered illusion that it's possible to protect a fear. Part 2: Lying to yourself about yourself, or to others, may delay the day when you must pay for what you are, but every day delayed in such a way, doubles the cost of the amount due.

What power has any dark dream to hijack, and hold us captive in its shadowy domain, without our first having agreed to hand over our sense of self, for whatever the compensation of that stimulation we find there in its strange world?

All unhappy thoughts are creations of a mind that visits what it does for the sole purpose of stirring up something with which to stimulate itself. To see this truth is to see that you are not this mind, nor its misery which further means you need never again consent to the captivity inherent in trying to sort out its sufferings.

Into each of our lives comes some fight that must be made; however, the key to true self-victory is not that we win at all costs, but rather that we remain true, kind, and innocent in spite of the costs.

Real life is change itself, a ceaseless flow of creative forces expressed in ever-new forms. So, our inability to make a fresh start isn't because life refuses us what we need to succeed. The problem is this: before we can hope to make a real new beginning in life, we must deliberately release our old claims upon it; for it is only in letting go of whatever binds us to our past that we are free to realize the promise of who we may yet be.

When we learn how to be still, to listen to what life would teach us, we discover that not only is there a plan already in place - a celestial curriculum designed to instruct us in the ways of its timeless peace and power - but that the universe itself is a school for our higher education.

The wise - finding themselves adrift at sea - are ever watchful for a favorable wind to come fill their sails. But, while they wait...they row night and day on the heading they believe will lead them back to the safety of their home shores.

Freedom from the prison of negative states remains impossible until one loses interest in the false but powerful sense of self derived from identifying with one's own surging sensations.

We are never judged for whatever may be our present degree of spiritual blindness. Only when we agree to turn a blind eye to some truth about ourselves that life has asked us to see are we instantly punished by our refusal to see.

To realize the power of living in the Presence moment requires entering into its flow. The nature of these living waters is a timeless intelligence that knows, regardless of how things appear, that everything is exactly as it must be in that moment, even as it carries within it the seed of a creation destined, at the outset, to become something further perfected.
