Guy Finley explains that you have only two things that are truly your own — your time and your attention. Without learning to use those two gifts, nothing else that you give yourself matters. www.YourImmortalSelf.com

In this darker realm, the thing feared is inseparable from the nature that fears it, so that any action taken by this nature to end the fear it feels…

The real, unseen cause of our fear is the false belief that life can throw something—anything—at us that’s greater than our ability to change it. But this is simply not true.

In all the worlds above and below there is but One Balance. This perfect equipoise is not God Himself, but the expression of His Life in the uncreated form of three forces unified. Balance is that indefinable third force where what pushes and what pulls are neither one nor the other, but a force transformed…
