Small losses in the daily battle against self-will are cumulative. It is easy to think a little overindulgence here, or a little unconscious remark there, do not matter. Yet, little by little, we allow our self-worth to be eroded by believing we cannot control our urges. Believe in yourself and exercise your divinely inspired will power today.

The focus and resolve needed to dive deep in meditation is cultivated in the hundreds of ways throughout our day that we resist and transmute self-will. Every time we do what we know is right for us, we strengthen our ability to go deeper in meditation.

Self-will is a destroyer of loving relationships. It cuts the ties of compassionate caring that bind us together. Look for every opportunity today to relinquish self-will and grow in love.

God is hidden by our forgetfulness. Our forgetfulness is a curtain made by the ego of personal desire. When we let go of trying to please "I, me, and mine," the curtain falls.

Learn to witness, to observe the mental field. Watch for the moment when thought activity subsides, then enter the realm of Superconscious meditation through the portal of silence.

God needs no praise or sacrifice. Our ritual acts of worship serve to waken the dormant divine qualities within us. Love, peace, compassion, and wisdom-all exist within us as our divine inheritance.
