Each of us is a growing center of self-awareness, ever expanding into fuller consciousness of the absolute extent of itself.

The purpose of life is not to stay alive, but to live.

What you "take" simultaneously "takes you".

To "take thought" is to be "taken by thought".

Man's present sence of "self" is the mental equivalent of an "optical illusion".

The logical possibility of "essentual duality" is nil.

Ones sense of "two" is a "mental illusion" quite similar to the "optical illusions" that plague "physical sense".

The logical possibility of "essentual duality" is nil.

As the goose that layed the golden eggs must have said, "There's nothing in me that isn't in you".
("Aint nothin' in me, that isn't in you")

"Truth", if it be spoken, speaks for itself.

The "Truth speaks" -- Listen!!!

Hearing the "truth" requires only one thing -- LISTENING!!!

Those who hear the "truth" have a accompaning obligation to "speak it".

If you depend on sight for faith, you faith will be absent when the sight is.

Faith that depends on seeing is necessrily faithless when the sight is absent.

If your faith depends on seeing, you will necessarily be "faithless" when the sight is no longer present.

Depending on "relative sight" for "absolute faith" is a logical absurdity.

You are what you see, but more, as well.

If you and God are one, God is not other than you, and you are not other than he.

Man is confounded by words of his own utterance.

Can the "pen" take credit for the novel;
Can the "mouth" take credit for the word;
Can the "mind" take credit for the thought?

Don't worry about what other people think -- they're only thinking about themselves anyway.

Why should I worry about what others think. If they're like me, they're only thinking about themselves anyway.

Sharpen your faith on the wheel of adversity.

Life is intended to teach you who you are.

Life is ment to awaken you to who you already are, not make you into a new person. (not create a new you)

Life is intended to awaken you to yourself, not turn you into someone new.

Seek truth within, and confirmation without.

The outer is but a reflection of the inner -- no more, no less.

What you see is what you get, Though in time you'll soon forget.

When what one seeings is allowed to affect what one is, the "outer" has taken control of the "inner" and an inversion of the "natural order" occurs.

When the actor "reacts" to his own actions, only "self-confusion" can result.

When the outer affects the inner, the reins of command have been passed to the horses.

Split attention is double vision.

Time passes, but nothing changes except your mind.

The lack of any discernable direction means your are probably moving in a circle.

Famous last quotes: "I think we got this one covered..." ~ Richard M. Nixon

Asking dumb questions is better than doing dumb things.

The potential power of coherent light in the form of a laser beam is far less than coherent mind as a potential projecter of mental energy.

Think less and live more; think more and live less.

Feel a "part of" life, not a "part from" life!

Make sure that all your acts flow with, and don't run counter, to the "stream of life".

That which is pre-conceived is ill-conceived!

Expectation is of the head and faith of the heart.

Eat at the table set before you! Eat and drink at the table prepared for you!

Serve God and serve yourself; find God and find yourself.

The fruit that each moment offers should be eaten first-- past fruit is decayed and future fruit is not yet ripe!

You think you make yourself secure by "looking ahead" and so leave the present moment before it has fulfilled its promise and purpose.

If you leave the moment too soon you will miss its true fulness!

"Pay" attention, and give the present its due!

Don't miss today preparing for tomorrow!

Don't creat problems you don't already have!

When nothing is in the eye of the beholder, vision is boundless.

The present is much fuller than the future or past.

Gross negligence arises from gross inattention!

Death puts life in the proper perspective!

Start looking now and you won't become lost later!

You don't keep faith, faith keeps you.

Teacher and teller?

Speaking before the fact is premature;
Speaking after the fact is unnecessary.

The plans of the past fall before the passion of the present.

Self-contained is self-constrained.

Think of it as one and you will soon see it as one!

Think of life as one and you will soon see it as one!

As you think, so shall you soon see!

1987

If you can't relate, you can't communicate.

There is no where God "is not".

8/10/87

God is an All or Nothing kind of guy.

Do anything you want, but do it consciously.

Misery is pain exposed to thought.

Suffering is pain that you think about.

Is, was and always (ever) will be.

8/11/87

Man doesn't "make", he "builds" -- don't confuse the two.

Man doesn't "create", he "constructs" -- don't confuse the two.

We reverse the natural order of mind-mattering to matter-minding.

Happiness should be "self-derived" and not a function of circumstance.

Take no credit, take no blame; good and bad are all the same.

Evil, like beauty, is in the "mind" of the beholder.

Gentle is the heart, cunning is the head.

Soft is the Heart, Hard is the Head.

God's time horizon is infinite.

Life is an identity crisis.

The "barrier" (mental) or "wall" between "you and it" -- self and other -- is the real "final frontier".

I believe in Infinity; I believe in the Absolute -- I believe in the One God.

1988

To know fully, is to know directly, to know "heart to heart", to know from the "inside out" -- to know as if one actually were the thing known.

If God is Absolute, you cannot see other than God, nor can you be other than God.
