The Engine of the World
Every life is a wonderful story worthy of being told.
Every life is a work of art,
And if it does not seem so, perhaps it is only necessary to illuminate the room that contains it.
The secret is never to lose faith,
To have confidence in God’s plan for us,
Revealed in the signs with which He shows us the way.
If you learn to listen, you will find that each life speaks to us of love.
Because love is the key to everything,
The engine of the world.
Love is the secret energy behind every note I sing.
And never forget there is no such thing as happenstance.
That’s an illusion lawless and arrogant men invented
So that they could sacrifice the truth of our world to the laws of reason.
Andrea Bocelli

Living the Impossible
Sometimes that is all it takes: One person doing the seemingly impossible in the presence of others. In witnessing the limits broken, they can then hold the new possibility in their minds, because they’ve personally experienced it.

The Painter's Perspective
The aura given out by a person or object is as much as part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their color or smell...Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself.

The Dance of Atoms

During Our Short Visit
Strange is our situation here upon Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

A Primal Web of Energy
The existence of a primal web of energy that connects our bodies, the world, and everything in the universe opens the door to a powerful and mysterious possibility, and suggest that we may be much more than simply observers passing through a brief moment of time in a creation that already exists.

We Live at the Threshold
We live at the threshold of a universal recognition that the human being is not mere matter, but a potent, energetic field of consciousness. Modalities of the past millennium are quickly giving way to breakthrough technologies wherein we heal ourselves at the level of all true healing, which is spirit.

Defining Reality
Most civilized people today are out of touch with reality because they confuse the world as it is with the world as they think about it, talk about it, and describe it. For on the one hand there is the real world and on the other the whole system of symbols about this world that we have in our minds. They are all very, very useful symbols, all our civilization depends on it, but like all good things they have their disadvantages. And the principal disadvantage of symbols is that we confuse them with reality. Like we confuse money with actual wealth and our names about ourselves, our ideas of ourselves, our images of ourselves with ourselves.
Of course, reality from the philosopher’s point of view is a dangerous word. A philosopher will ask me what do i mean by reality. Am I talking about the physical world of nature or am I talking about the spiritual world or what? And to that I have a very simple answer. When we talk about the material world, it is actually a philosophical concept. And if I say that reality is spiritual, it is also a philosophical concept. And reality itself is not a concept, reality IS.

Like A Wave
The individual does not finally merge with his original nature any more than a wave merges with water. They were not different to begin with. A wave is nothing more than the shifting shape of the water itself. It is not a question of joining separate things, but of the abandonment of something inessential and superficial, the false identity of a separate individual entity.

The 30 Day Challenge
You are Energy flowing beings, and yes, we know you like the experience of the exposure to the physical stuff of this time/space reality. And so, just for the next 30 days, whenever you are in a moment of perceiving, let your dominant intent be to find the thought that feels best. Say to yourself, again and again, “Today, no matter where I am, no matter where I am going, no matter who I am with, no matter what I am doing, it is my dominant intent to look for that which I am wanting to see. To look for that which feels good. I’m wanting to find a reason to allow the Energy that creates worlds to flow through me, now. Right now. I’m allowing or disallowing, right now. All of my power is right now. What visions am I using that are allowing the Energy to flow? What visions don’t let it flow? What memories are allowing it to flow? What memories are not letting it flow? What conversations, what topics don’t let it flow for me, and what topics do let it flow for me? I have this power moment of selective sifting, where if I choose the thought that lets the Energy flow, then all things that I’ve told the Universe that I want - from my moment of stepping forth into this body - I am now allowing to flow.” Oh what a powerful and important moment this is!

Spread Your Wings
I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

Sacred Space
The experience of sacred space makes possible the ‘founding of the world’: where the sacred manifests itself in space, the real unveils itself, the world comes into existence.

In Essence
Essence doesn’t mean a little part hidden somewhere in us, the little teeny kernel of essence.
Essence means the totality, the whole thing.
Essence means the truth of you as opposed to the untruth of you.
Essence isn’t a small thing, essence is an immense thing.
The essence of you is everything you ever see, taste, touch, and experience.
Everywhere you go, every step you take,
Every breath you take is actually happening by the essence.
All the rest is noise and chatter.

A Splendid Adventure
Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived
If you take it bravely and gallantly,
As a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country,
To meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.

Compassion Hurts
Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the detainees of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

The Trust of Dharma
You’ve got to trust that when you have surrendered, you will hear clearly. The Tao says the truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing, and your longing to have it different than it is, is ultimately a trap, because it keeps you from hearing the whole gestalt, the whole way things are. And as you hear the totality of it, you trust that out of that will come an appropriate action, a dharmic action. That’s the trust of dharma, that’s the trust in the wisdom of the Universe that is greater than your own personal egoism.

The Reflective Process
Did you know that nothing whatsoever can be imagined unless it already exists? Thought is a reflective process.
Close your eyes and with your divine imagination immerse yourself into the following scene:
You’re standing barefoot on soft, luxuriant green grass in a s shimmering alpine meadow, high in the mountains on a distant exotic planet. Waves of rainbow colors undulate through the sky as wild flowers dance and sway, reaching for the heavens in a joyous celebration. A sweet heavenly aroma fills the air, saturating all of your senses. In the distance a majestic grizzly bear casually lumbers along a whispering, meandering stream. Meadow larks dart through the air like cosmic acrobats as a luminescent silver eagle soars high above in a crystalline azure sky. Three glorious suns drench your body with rays of liquid golden love.
It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Of course, we all imagine it differently. Since your eyes are closed, how is it that you can see this picture? It is your true self, soul, seeing with higher senses. This is a very small taste of who and what you truly are. This is your divine imagination, a gift from God, which knows no bounds. You are the sun, the prism, and the rainbow. You are soul, eternal, a resplendent spiritual being, child of God, perfect and free.
It’s all up to you...Imagine the very best in your life and take the necessary steps to make your dreams a reality.

The Biggest Embrace
The biggest embrace of love you’ll ever make is to embrace yourself completely. Then you’ll realize you’ve just embraced the whole universe, and everything and everybody in it.

Clear Communication
You have need to learn the lessons of accepting guidance from your own soul, and of learning to work with harmony and impersonality on the physical plane with the group or groups to which your destiny impels you. When you have learned the lesson of self-forgetfulness, when you seek nothing for the separated self, when you stand firmly on your own feet and look for aid within yourself, and when the trend of your life is towards cooperation, then you may pass from the stage of Observer to that of Communicator. This will happen because you can be trusted to communicate only that which is impersonal and truly constructive, and which will not feed the emotional nature and satisfy the desire-self.

The Four Reliances
First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words.
Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher.
Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation;
And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

Your True Essence
Learn to get in touch with the innermost essence of your being. This true essence is beyond the ego. It is fearless; it is free; it is immune to criticism; it does not fear any challenge. It is beneath no one, superior to no one, and full of magic, mystery, and enchantment.

Relinquish Three Things
If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue.
Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.
Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up.

The Source of All Creation
The source of all creation is pure consciousness. Pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in nature.

The Great and Individual Self
The universe must be experienced as the Great Self. Each is fulfilled in the other: the Great Self is fulfilled in the individual self, the individual self is fulfilled in the Great Self.
Alienation is overcome as soon as we experience this surge of energy from the Source that has brought the universe through the centuries. New fields of energy become available to support the human venture. These new energies find expression and support in celebration.
For in the end the universe can only be explained in terms of celebration. It is all an exuberant expression of existence itself.

Conscious Evolution
So the universe is constantly moving in the direction of higher evolutionary impulses, creativity, abstraction, and meaning. Conscious evolution is the ability of human beings to consciously participate in that process; we are a species that is conscious of our consciousness. We can actually accelerate the process through meditation, through the ability to find stillness through loving actions, through compassion and sharing, through understanding the nature of the creative process in the universe and having a sense of connection to it. So that’s conscious evolution.

The Luminous Essence of Consciousness
The overwhelming and profound nature of the spiritual metamorphosis that occurs as one begins to move beyond individual and collective egoic self structures is difficult to convey without knowing about it directly from personal experience. If one had only known the darkness and had never seen the light of the sun, how could it be described in such a way that it would truly be understood? The light of consciousness illuminates all things but if we haven’t discovered it directly for ourselves, no matter how bright that light may be, we won’t be able to see it. And why is that? Because our attention is simply on other things. An enlightened person is illuminated by that same luminous essence that makes it possible for the world to exist.

Identity Effect
When you are in alignment with who you really are, you cannot help but uplift those with whom you come into contact. Your value to those around you hinges upon only one thing: your personal alignment with Source. And the only thing you have to give to another is an example of that alignment - which they may observe, then desire, and then work to achieve - but you cannot give it to them.

A Holy Curiosity
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Separateness, An Optical Delusion
A human being is a part of the whole called by us ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Both Particle and Whole
We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime, within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal One. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, if which these are shining parts, is the soul.
