Be Unstoppable: The Essential Laws of Fearless Living

The kingdom of heaven is seen only through an open heart. And the only way in which a heart opens is when an individual begins to understand that there's nothing in creation that can hurt who and what you are.

There are unique challenges for the human being who wants to have a relationship with the source of his or her being. We try to control events outside of us in a futile attempt to find a fearless life, when our energy would be better spent attending to our inner lives. Yet at the same time we are in a body and we do need to take care of our basic householder responsibilities...

There is no "self" without relationship. In reality, the observer and the observed do not exist apart from one another. However, in the absence of higher awareness, the lower level of self believes that it is separate from what it sees as being outside of itself. This is the source of suffering. The gift of being able to see that the observer is the observed is the reconciliation and the end...

Most of humanity is terribly afraid of death. We avoid the very thought of it every chance we get. But with self knowledge we can learn all about what this life on Earth is for, which is the same as no longer fearing what we call death.

Our true role is to be a bridge that allows the higher will of Heaven to act upon the will of Earth. When we are serving the moment properly then there is awareness of ourselves as we are, which is also the resolution of the disparity between Heaven and Earth.

If we want to have a new relationship with life, we cannot continue to keep the company of chaotic thoughts that only serve to ensure that we remain the same person that we have always been. The Divine will come into our lives if it is invited, but we have to provide the space.

Why can't we listen without conflict? There is almost always some kind of inner dialog going on in the background, formulating an interpretation of the moment and how we ought to respond to it. The true purity of the moment is rarely experienced. Seeing the fact of this division is the beginning of being present to the moment more fully.

It is a gift of spirit to suddenly see something about yourself you had never seen before. By the power of this new awareness you come to realize that real change in one's level of consciousness is possible. Now you see that there is a higher kingdom within you that waits for you to become its endless expression.

Heaven is understood through its reflection on this Earth. It is a mistake to imagine that we can directly understand the Divine's plan with the thinking mind. Even if we have a good understanding of spiritual principles, the thought is not the heavenly principle itself. Whatever we are feeling in any given moment is a reflection of a principle that we can be in relationship with.

True spiritual work is not just about exploring consciousness when we are feeling good, or when we are experiencing something that pleases us. Real freedom involves the willingness to look at ourselves no matter what each moment gives us to see.

"Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, lies the seed that, with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose." ~ "The Rose" by Bette Midler. When you find yourself in circumstances that seem difficult and dark, give your attention to the remembrance of the greater possibility that lies within the moment. In the light of that awareness, what has been concealed is revealed...

The only creatures that we know of that feel psychological fear are human beings. Psychological fear is impossible without negative imagination. We all live with a certain kind of fear that we consistently feed only because we presently lack proper understanding. There is absolutely no value to any form of psychological measurement. There is value to practical measurement. If you are going to...

There is no one problem that a person has that is not the problem of everyone. The bottom line is that the only problem we ever have is that we hurt ourselves. If we had the choice, we would all obviously say that we would like to stop hurting ourselves. But the fact is that we run into problems--run into ourselves--again and again. So what is it that is blocking our wish to stop punishing our...

There is something in us that actually enjoys feeling stressed. We must discover that we live with an opposing self. We can catch moments of opposition by coming back to ourselves.
