Welcome the Freedom that Comes with Being Fearless
As we are coming to see, within each of us dwells a Light -- an awareness capable not only of observing the host of invisible forces that forge life itself, but whose conscious interaction with them changes them as it will. It is through this higher order of ourselves that we are empowered to learn the truth about ourselves. And here the word truth means not just intellectual self-knowledge, but a direct in-dwelling knowing of all that is for our further perfection and all that seems to oppose it.

So we're very reluctant to see that for all of these years, and all of the things that we've been doing -- with ourselves and for ourselves -- that every other day we still see that which is ugly or unwanted upon the canvas of our lives.
An Insight that ensures sucess
Here is a great spiritual truth: The only time we ever "fail" at anything in our lives is when we walk away from a challenge before we've allowed it to teach us its lessons.
Stop Using the Wrong Tool for Troubled Thoughts
Excerpted from Freedom From the Ties That Bind, pages 41-45
Using thought as a tool to resolve the troubles that thought stirs up in the mind is like trying to use your fingers to seize, sort, and settle dust particles that are dancing in a sunbeam across your living room floor.
