The realer the world, the greater the misery.  The realer the Self the greater the joy.

Find yourself first and endless blessings will follow.

Awareness itself is all important, not the content of it.  

Deepen and broaden your awareness of yourself and all the blessings will flow.

The seer becomes conscious of himself as the seer.

The same attention you give to the outer you turn to the inner.

"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."

All experience is born of imagination...

It is in the nature of desire to prompt the mind to create a  world for its fulfillment.

What prevents you from knowing yourself as all and beyond all is the mind based on memory. It has power over you as long as you trust it; don't struggle with it; just disregard it.  Deprived of attention, it will slow down and reveal the mechanism of its working.  Once you know its nature and purpose, you will not allow it to create imaginary problems. 

By asking yourself, "Who is speaking," regularly during your day,  you are evoking this aspect of you that directly perceives,  directly knows, and instantly creates and decides.

You are the infinite focused in a body.  Now you see the body only.  Try earnestly and you will come to see the infinite only.

Sslutation to the Dawn

"Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day." 

"The reason a human being feels fear is because he has allowed

himself, carelessly allowed himself to be invaded. It's like a

man sleeping in his home during the day. He's supposed to be up

and alert and looking around during the daylight, but he isn't.

He's napping and vandals sneak and toss and tear and break, and

he suffers the consequences of his own sleeping state. Now, you

can learn how to stay awake so that when the psychic vandals plan

to invade you, they will know they're not going to get in the

doors because your state of consciousness, of spiritual alertness

is the lock. They cannot penetrate beyond the door that is locked

by your understanding of yourself, of how fear operates."
