Antennae for droplets of received wisdom

"There is no escape from the tests that awakening places in front of you; they must be endured."

"Victory is assured when we choose humility over the ego’s height." ~ Vicki Woodyard, author of LIFE WITH A HOLE IN IT: That's How the Light Gets In

Her thoughts on Vernon Howard, her teacher:

"He taught people how to “witness every negative thought and emotion consciously. He spoke of the False Self and the True Self and how to know the difference. People came from all over the world to hear him speak. He knew that people were hanging on his every word to hear 'the one word that would free them,' so to speak, but it never came. He left his students in a place of waiting, which is quite effective. He knew what he was doing."

We are our own salvation.
