Courage

True willingness is true courage.

Asking What to Do (from Essay)

Stop asking what you should do next; the answer will come from unworthy sources.

Instead ask what you should see next and the answer to what you should do next will authentically present itself.

The Path

The sleeping man who calls himself spiritual gauges how far along the path he might now be.

The Awakened man walks the path ever aware of where it might begin.

Problems

All problems are really one problem.

Being passive- not acting (journal entry)

It is easy to think that if I remain passive, if I stop acting, that nothing will get done or nothing will happen. This is quite untrue, in fact all of the right things will then happen and I won’t be in a state of mind do the wrong thing.

Working Hard (joural entry)

The hard work must not cease, because there is so much to learn and the lessons will simply pass me by if I am not looking at them correctly.

Prayer (frm Meeting 12/02/08)

Awareness itself is your prayer.

What greater tribute could you pay to any of God's creations than to see it exactly as it was intended?

Action (journal entry)

If I am not changing my thinking, testing my courage in spiritual matters or intentionally resisting routine actions, I am not growing. I have to be ever so careful not to believe that pondering these things replaces doing them.
