Two doors. Two thrones. Both the doors are hinged, Both the thrones are filled. One door stands open, while the other is closed. Thus, one throne exalts a King, while the other extends a royal invitation. To know the difference between the two, I must keep my eye on the Man. For you see, it is He who is present …
It was 2 a.m. when the fault line just miles away from our high-rise apartment building forced the ground to separate. As the violent jolting intensified, I jumped out of bed to find my family. Despite the inky darkness, I felt myself down the hall without seeing, yet hearing, smelling and groping past everything. It still remains one of the most terrifying 45-seconds of my life. …
For two full years, I worked in the dark. Hours were flexible, but the job itself had to be performed without light. Today, we call it old-school. Then, it was the only way to produce black and white photos. Chemicals, wash, paper – all were sensitive to light, but needed darkness to develop. Accompanying me in the room …
An ordinary package — taped, addressed, and covered with postal stickers. An ordinary journey — traveling by railcar the 229 miles from New York City to Washington D.C.

Dear Ones, I’ve been reading what you all have talked about regarding spiritual vision. It excites me that you realize that your physical eyes are not the ones that are most useful. You’ve spoken of seeing Me and seeing others as I do. But to date, you haven’t mentioned a thing about the way that I see you. …
How have you looked at other people today? With eyes of annoyance? Or impatience? Or boredom? The Word says we’re not to be regarding them “in the flesh” in the first place. We are to see through their idiosyncrasies and into their spirit. Think for a moment about that person that gives you the most difficulty. Can you see them in your mind’s …
Sometimes, despite seeing Him clearly one day, I awaken the following day with resistance in my soul. My emotions feel kinda like a 2-year-old who, once told to do something, stares and stiffens his legs against the action. You know the child understands the request made of him. He has just decided not to do it. …
Working from our innermost being to our outer, we are comprised of spirit, soul, and flesh. As we have talked about, the soul houses the mind and the emotions.
