“Once again, it dawned on me how blessed I’ve been.”

We shall not cease from exploration. And at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and to know the place for the very first time.

As we peel back the layers of our defenses, we find what we knew all along. On a very deep level, we knew no person could be totally self-sufficient. Now, as we continue to let go, this mysterious spiritual journey leads us back to explore what we knew deeply all along - a spiritual search leading home.

The ancient Masters didn’t try to educate the people, but kindly taught them to not-know. When they think that they know the answers, people are difficult to guide. Yet, when they know that they don’t know, people can find their own way.

…..Keep an undaunted spirit. Keep your spirit free and unconquered. You can be undefeated and untouched by failure and all its power, by letting your spirit overcome the world; rise above earth’s turmoil into the secret chamber of perfect peace and confidence. When a challenge comes to you, remember you have God’s help and nothing can wholly defeat you. I pray that I may have confidence and be of good cheer. I pray that I may not fear the power of failure.
