Key Lesson: Our true nature is not discovered by acquiring new knowledge, but by awakening to what has always been present: the light of a living awareness, waiting to be awakened, and realized as being inseparable from one’s True Self.
For Further Study
· Once we realize that whatever we will bring into our awareness has always been an aspect of our own consciousness, only not yet awakened to, we also understand this liberating truth: nothing exists outside of us. All destinations are already within us, including the Love we are searching for and the unconditional freedom that It alone has the power to grant.
· The secret inlet into the realm of what is timeless and eternally true is our awareness of the present moment; for our awareness of now is not an awareness of a given time, but is vested in that higher consciousness through which the things of time move in and out of creation.
· It is the light of awareness that first reveals to us hidden aspects of our own nature that we can no longer continue being, and that then acts to liberate us from this mistaken identity, leading us to further integrated and higher states of consciousness.
· The mastery of anything, including ourselves, begins with the faith that we are not here on earth to be perfected according to an image we hold of ourselves, but rather to allow Perfection to work its way upon us . . . so that only the awareness of something greater than ourselves can draw us into a greatness beyond ourselves, if we will it so.
· Any weakness we may harbor in our present character persists only because we have yet to see how its presence compromises our happiness, but a growing awareness of this interior shakiness changes everything. Our awakening stirs within us a Celestial Character created for the purpose of transforming the soul's stumbling stones into the building blocks of a whole new unshakable Self.
· No moment can be any more valuable to us than our awareness of the possibilities unfolding within it, which means that real success in life doesn't so much depend upon what life hands us to work with, but rather into whose hands we place whatever has come our way.
