That faith of putting your body in the position to call upon the Lord's name and listen, is your righteousness, and that's what is going to be counted for you when the last thing is counted. Not how long you sit in spiritual exercises, but that you did sit. Not that the Lord said anything to you, but that you were there to hear it if it was said.

I think you should learn to appreciate your irritation, appreciate your negativity. Then you end up, no matter what happens, as quite an appreciative person. It may seem foolish, but another word for that would be gratefulness, that you are being a grateful person. And this grateful feeling has a very strange quality about it that says, "I won't let in anything else that is not grateful."

Everything around us can teach us. The difficult thing is, often we prefer being the teacher to being the student. But we can only really become the teacher as we learn, gain experience, and then demonstrate what we have learned. The greatest teachers teach by example.

The more you exercise the grace, the less restrictions have anything to do with you.

And so all we really can do is breathe in and breathe out and let the Divine essence move forward to us. It's called grace. Listen long enough for this breath of Divine guidance to breathe through you.

Love is living in the spiritual heart.

Words won't make you free. Yours, mine, or the words of all the sages, rishis, gurus, saints, and martyrs will not free you. Even physical actions will not make you free, although they will clarify the way of freedom. What makes you free is your experiencing and claiming your own freedom. As you express yourself freely, you create freedom. Freedom is a beingness, a state of existence. Freedom is here, right now.

Sometimes we allow other people to shake us. If someone calling himself a Buddhist or Moslem or Christian or Jew lays their belief structure and experience on you, along with their doubts about your experience and your belief structure, why should it bother you? Their way of aligning just has a different name on it. We are all striving for the same thing: To align ourselves with the Spirit, our Divinity. Why should we worry about their experience?

A proof of learning is the ability to handle life's situations -- particularly the difficult ones -- more easily. A validation of your growth is that what was once a difficult situation has now become as easy as breathing -- just a matter of breathing in and out, doing it until it's done, without the emotional charge that often creates resistance and limitation.

Part of what is true is watching where you are going, paying attention to the conditions, focusing on what is important, and choosing to cooperate with what is working while staying clear of what is not working for you. Be sure to catch the learning and change of consciousness in this moment of convergence.
