Truth

All the truth that is necessary to know has already been spoken by actual beings on this planet.  All Great Teachers proclaim the same truth, for there is none other.  The Radiance of the Self within beckons one on and provides spiritual inspiration and strength.  The Presence of God within is the source of one’s existence; therefore, to seek one’s source is in accord with God’s Will.

Accept Limitation Rather than Fault

It is helpful to realize that the anger is not at what ‘is’, but at what ‘is not’.  We are angry not because someone is selfish or stingy, as we think, but actually because they are not considerate, generous, or loving.  If recontextualized is done in this way, then people are seen as being limited rather than wrong.  Each person has developed only up to a specific point in their evolution, and therefore, it is easier to see and accept limitation rather than fault.

The Radiance of the Self

The desire to search for God or enlightenment is already evidence of having been spiritually inspired.  As the ego vacates, the Radiance of the Self uplifts and inspires.  Henceforth, it is not possible to be alone.  At the critical moment, spiritual commitment and dedication bring forth the unseen help of the Great Beings who are no longer in physical bodies – yet their energy stands at the great doorway of the final moment when one is sustained by the Holy Spirit and the wisdom of the teachers of Truth.

The Absolute Reality of the Self

In contrast to the ego’s perception of God, the Absolute Reality of the Self is the manifestation of God as the very core of one’s existence.  The love of the Presence is ultrapersonal and experienced as infinite peace, infinite security, and the safety of foreverness so that there is no imaginary “end” to fear.  The God of the Presence imbues the joy of completion. Love is not a “quality” of God but is God’s very essence.

Maturity and Humility

Maturity entails the capacity to live with the unanswered and uncertainty and take pleasure from the fact that it is a stimulus to learning and further growth and leads to progressive discovery.

The mature mind knows that it is evolving and that growth and development are satisfying and pleasurable in and of themselves. Maturity implies that one has learned how to be comfortable with uncertainty and has included it as a legitimate ingredient. Uncertainty leads to discovery…

… The most important quality necessary for true growth and evolution is the practice and principle of humility. … Humility, despite its negative public and social image in some quarters of society, is indicative of expertise, wisdom, and maturity.
