Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.

As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
Guy Finley
Image
The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.
Guy Finley
Image
All things good come to those for whom the Good is all things.
Guy Finley
Image
Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.

The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.
