May 03, 2015 The Realms of Consciousness
In the Kingdom within, _we are powerful_. The powerful part of us loves new
things, loves challenges, loves exercise, connecting with other people,
checking off goals, taking action, heading somewhere, talking out loud. It
wants to grow, to move, to expand. This power within us is constantly seeking
a greater expression of life, of the Divine.
We move beyond "stuck" by taking action. It is a matter of action vs. feeling,
of having discipline and devotion. Action becomes its own reward. Action
unites our body and our mind.

April 26, 2015 The Way of the Untethered Soul
It's a way of life, to learn to live without fear. We let go of that scared
part of us that won't let us live fully. There is no reason to be afraid of
life. The fear will fade when we realize the only thing to get from life is
the _growth_ that comes from experiencing it.
It takes time to cultivate the mind, to be able to reveal the qualities we
want to reveal. When we dwell on the loving eyes of God, we are able to let go
of judging, of both ourselves and others.
Our greatest gift to ourselves and to others is to live life fully.

April 19, 2015 The Highest Spiritual Practice
In life, sometimes things fall apart, and sometimes things show up
unexpectedly. But we only have one choice in life---do we want to be happy?
Can we be happy _in_ this?
Being happy is an enlightened path. It is a true spiritual path, direct and
pure. Happiness depends on letting go of melodrama, letting go of our reasons
_not_ to be happy, enjoying life's experiences, and viewing life from 30,000
feet.
We must remain conscious, centred, and committed. In this, we find that the
highest spiritual practice is life itself.
_I am at peace. I appreciate life. I am unconditional love._

April 12, 2015 Breaking Through the Walls
Today's talk is about our spiritual journey, a narrative of light and of
consciousness. Our consciousness is living inside us, and the only light we
can get is the light we create.
We must learn to become comfortable with psychological disturbance. It is our
pushing out against the envelope of the status quo of our conscious belief
system. Through perseverance, we can break through it into the light. In fact,
spirituality is this commitment to go beyond, no matter what it takes. We must
stop defining the disturbed mind as a negative experience---We will find an
ocean of love beyond all this fear and pain.

March 29, 2015 Pain, the Price of Freedom
Pain is preeminent in the human experience. How can we use pain in an
effective and productive way to further our own evolution, turning it from a
problem or a disturbance into a spiritual practice?
Often, we get stuck in a way of being, in despair, not knowing how to manage
our emotional life. But the very thing we are confronted with---our pain and
suffering, our disturbances---is actually part of our spiritual practice. Pain
challenges our need for safety, comfort, and control over our own lives. But
we can find freedom through awareness. We can begin to understand that pain is
just a thing in the universe, that it is a temporary experience.
Our true greatness lies on the other side of the pain.

March 22, 2015 Going Beyond
This week, Dr. Patrick speaks about a metaphorical thorn---that ever-present
source of pain in our lives, whatever it may be. Many of us build a complex
environment around the thorn to prevent it from ever being touched. This
includes the many coping mechanisms of our core beliefs to deal with and
prevent our suffering.
Because of this, the advice that our mind is giving us is psychologically
damaged. Our mind's thoughts are disturbed by its fears. This is the advice we
must not listen to, but we listen to it constantly. We must identify the root
problem instead.
We can notice who's noticing, that we are the subject observing something
which is the object. We can become the explorer of our own lives, and let it
go. It's not who we are---it's what the experience is. We are capable of
ceasing to listen to the perpetual problems of our psyche. It _is_ possible.
It takes practice.
Imagine what life could be if we didn't have those neurotic personal thoughts
going on inside of ourselves, that we could enjoy things, that we could get to
know people instead of needing them, experiencing our life instead of using
our life to fix what is wrong inside of us.
Awareness does not fight. There is no battle. There is just witnessing.
Awareness has the capacity to release, to discern, to choose to remove the
thorn by looking at the root cause behind the thorn. Awareness is simply aware
while everything parades in front of it.
Everything will be okay when we're okay with everything. We can make peace
with what is and move into the perpetually-centred seat of the Self.
