We cannot have the new life, the new vision that we seek, without letting go of the past. With patience, respect the way things are and live in the soul's unconditional joy in the present moment, even in the midst of loss.

The most effective prayer we can make for ourselves, for another, or for our world is to pray all the way through the condition until our sense of human lack, limitation, and problems drop away and we simply rest in the divine truth of who we are.

There are no boundaries in space. And from space, when we look back at the earth, we see all is one. Now we are faced with living into that reality of what we have seen. What will it be like for us to live as one--the vision of truth that we have seen and know in our hearts? When a new vision arises, the old way fights to maintain the status quo. See through appearances to the highest truth.

When we come into the consciousness of divine order, we are empowered to make changes in our life, our community, and our world that need to be made without hatred and without anger. Love can prevail, even in the most difficult situations.

The importance of a spiritual practice community cannot be overemphasized. Because life is one, we are not restored to wholeness alone. Growing together in wisdom and compassion is supportive of realizing the teachings of divine unity.

The commitment of devotees in a spiritual community to practice and to remain steadfast on the path of Self-realization shines a light on the path and provides encouragement for others in difficult times. We see ourselves in one another.

Simplify your life by making a conscious effort to reduce possessions. Care for and repair what you have. When something new is needed, release the old.
