It is true that the lessons you "fail" in life will come around again. You'll get another opportunity to see if you learned. When you do learn to pass a test, you will have achieved mastery of that area and may no longer be tested on that.

We are such experts about what upsets us that it can go on without our even being aware of it, until one day we realize that we are feeling this enormous resentment and impatience with ourselves. When people come to me and tell me they have a lot of doubt, I usually find that they are just impatient. Often they don't have doubt, because they don't even know enough yet to doubt. If they don't know what is going on in the universe -- and they usually don't -- how can they possibly doubt it? They are just impatient for peace, for satisfaction. It is part of the human condition.

In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness we claim that the Soul is the church in which we worship. The Soul is a cathedral without bounds or limitations. It's a cathedral founded and built upon perfection that all are claimed by God, and that all of God's creation is welcomed in loving.

Just remain neutral. Come in, listen to the teachings, don't believe or disbelieve, just listen. See what works for you, start working it, see what happens. If it's not for you, you'll find out pretty fast.

Practice. Use anything and everything to get yourself into that active, loving state.

To know what is spiritual in a situation, you have to get above it, not run any of your own stuff on it, and move to a place of observation. If you would just enter into observation, you would be able to perceive so much more clearly. From that state of observation, you realize that there's nothing there. You have nothing to gain or lose one way or another, and it doesn't matter whether you are involved or not. You'll be able to see things really clearly, just for what they are. And if you don't see something clearly, you shouldn't assume anything about it, because as soon as you assume anything, guess what? You've moved out of observation and you have your own stuff mixed up in there.

No hunter places a trap while the animals are watching. Like a hunter, negativity tries to catch you with traps of negative thoughts and feelings. But if you are in a state of observation -- if you are watching -- you catch negativity off guard. You know where the trap is, and you avoid the place. Then that negativity, having no energy to sustain itself, dissolves.

Be flexible. There is nothing sacred about a schedule on paper. Be available to what is, what Spirit is directing.

It takes a high degree of intelligence to cooperate with what is going on. In your mind, however, you will usually not allow it to be like that. You'll say that it is not so. It is your attitude towards things that either blocks you or frees you.

Sometimes we've desired something and didn't get it, and we've cussed God, our wives, our husbands, our lousy kids, and everybody else in the world -- and then weeks later the better thing comes forward. Then we don't know what to do because we've put God down, we've put our wife or husband down, we've put the kids down, we've put everybody down, but here comes this wonderful opportunity. It's because Spirit, the substance of life, had the better one coming for you and negated the one that was not going to give you the fullness that you had tuned in to. And so it looked like a curse, but the blessing was right behind it.
