What role do higher forces play in our lives?

Probably the main aim of higher forces is to lead a soul to the Creator. And the aim of humanity is to learn to hear, to recognize the signs of higher forces and not give up.

Working with Conscious Influence

These days one only has to search the internet to see the availability of a plethora of discussions, some very erudite, some more subjective, of expositions of the Fourth Way as it was revealed over a century ago.

Freedom, Life, and Death

A dear companion died after a long illness, a year ago, in my home. Finally he was free of the pain and suffering, the many I’s, the illusion of a body. In the days before he left us, he was wry, wise, and strangely light-hearted. Seeing my cell phone in my hand as I sat by […]

What Is Freedom?

What is freedom, for someone awakening? Is it an aspect of consciousness? Indeed, what is “freedom”? How do we understand this word?

For anyone not trying to awaken, the meaning of freedom connects with something material. […]
