Although all of us desire happiness, few of us reach that goal because of the seemingly endless cycle of expectation and disappointment.

The basis of the spiritual path is the development in ourselves of what is truly balanced, natural, and meaningful.

As we respond with caring and vision to all work, we develop our capacity to respond fully to all of life. Every action generates positive energy which can be shared with others.

When we learn to deal directly with our complaints and difficulties, romanticized ideas about the spiritual path are no longer meaningful. We see that what is important is to take responsibility for ourselves, and to always be aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

The world will be balanced when we are balanced.

Although all of us desire happiness, few of us reach that goal because of the seemingly endless cycle of expectation and disappointment.

Reality is all-encompassing: the absolute nature is one. Although we may feel separate from the original uncreated reality - whether we call it 'God,' 'peak experience,' or 'enlightened mind' - through awareness we can contact this essential part of ourselves.
