The roles of the head and the heart in our lives are significant. For we live in a world that requires much of the head, but eventually we realize that though we live in the world, we are not of the world. We are of divine origin and we have a divine desination. To find [...]
Worry can take a perfectly wonderful day and make it a living hell. Why do we do that to ourselves?
Worry cannot exist when we live completely in the present moment. In the present moment, we deal with “what is,” not with “what might happen.” In present moment living, our whole being becomes engaged with what [...]
We all witness certain events in the course of our lives that stand out from others — events we won’t ever forget. Such an event I witnessed this past Friday night — the type of event that legends are made from.
It wasn’t a tragedy like the assination of JFK, or the terrorism of 911, or [...]
People who are attuned to higher vibrations can see deeper aspects of reality, aspects that most people cannot. They have what I call inner vision. Some of these people experience nothing but bliss. They see beyond the denseness of the material world, into the finer realms of the subtle.
These types of people are rare, even [...]
The great striving towards higher consciousness is different from other goals we set out to attain. It’s not like wanting to lose weight by going to the gym three or four times a week to burn calories. It’s not like setting aside a certain time each day like you would to pursue a skill [...]
No matter what is being played out on the world stage, it is no excuse for losing hold on the primary reality of inner life. Yes, we have to live in the world, but while living in it, we need to remember what we are – spiritual beings. Every moment, if we allow it, is [...]
We all have within our being a sacred place where love is meant to flourish. It’s an inner garden.
For some, because there is such a lack of love, the ground is dry and hard as rock. Love has no chance to even take root. It’s like a seed thrown on a rock.
For others, there is [...]
Have you ever been happy for no reason at all? You don’t know why. But you are happy. That is causeless happiness.
When we withdraw our consciousness from the drama and stimulation of the mundane and illusory aspects of the world, we have the opportunity to enter into a world, that previously, we were unconscious of. It’s the world of the subtle. It is an inner garden of subtle lights, subtle sounds, and subtle scents. It is [...]
Disillusionment is the key to overcoming the most difficult addiction to overcome: the addiction to illusion. People don’t even realize the addiction exists. They don’t even know that what they take for reality is, in fact, illusion. And even when they do realize that what they take for reality, is in fact illusion, they don’t [...]
Anyone who has an experience of the Divine Presence, for however brief a moment it might be, longs to return to that experience. For in those sacred moments, we discover deep within that nothing else matters. Not politics, not the stock market, not the baseball standings. Not even illness or impending death. The world of [...]
There is a Divine Presence. It can be most intensely felt in the realm of existence beyond the level of the gross senses — the inner world. This is the realm of subtle energy, inspiration, and illumination. This inner world is the gateway to the final goal, the only Real Existence — the Infinite Knowledge, [...]
