On the hero’s journey, I sometimes reflect: What happens when we let go and abandon ourselves inside of the heart? Is there something left over when we discard everything that we once knew into the rich waters of everything we don’t? Spirit, hearing our call, takes us then into the conclaves of its…
Being humble is right for you now. Don’t thrash around showing your strength. You’re naked in the bee-house! It doesn’t matter how powerful your arms and legs are. To God, that is more of a lie than your weakness is. In his doorway your prestige and your physical energy are…

In order to arrive at what you do not know You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. In order to possess what you do not possess You must go by the way of dispossession. In order to arrive at what you are not You must…
And when you realize that the Divine Master is in time with you, in a body, with you, burning away with you, then your heart breaks. There they are with you in the same dimension out of pure love, waiting for you to receive Pure Love, and your heart breaks….
There are only two ways to “conquer” destiny, to be independent of it. One is to enquire for whom is this destiny, and discover that only the ego is bound by destiny and not the Self, and that the ego is non-existent. The other way is to annihilate the ego by…
Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downwards through the mud and slush of opinion and tradition, and pride and prejudice, appearance and delusion, through the alluvium which covers the globe, through poetry and philosophy and religion, through church and state, through Paris and London, through New…
Sufi mystics say: “There are three ways to relate to the Divine: One is through Prayer, a step up from that is Meditation or Self Abidance, and a step up from that is Sohbet.” What is meant by Sohbet in this context is difficult to describe. But perhaps most simply,…
I know who you are, I know who I am, I know the truth and the meaning of love. God is singing within your heart, breathing inside your breath, more close than a hand within a glove, or a thought within the head. If you listen, my friend, with an…
Come down to the stream with me, we will look into it together. It will be our mirror. You will see you are just like me, a great and powerful King. Rumi We are, together, the mirror we look into…
What is to become of all this is in God’s Hands, simply said. And with virtual tongue in cheek, all of us together are God’s hands. It does not matter “who” is behind this site. Anyone who posts, comments, starts a topic, creates a page, or replies to something will become,…
True intimacy is what happens when we are transparent, when there is nothing left to uphold, nothing to hide or hide behind, nothing to protect. Then another can see us, meet us, and in that meeting discover there is only just this that we are. In intimacy there is nothing…
Anything presented as a rendering indicates that editing has occurred to deepen and clarify, to perhaps bring what is pointing a little deeper into where it is pointing to.
