Monet, Rue Saint Denis When a desire becomes a steady thought, its success is assured . – Inayat Khan S ufi Amin always used to say to me: "if you cannot master your everyday life, how are you ever going to reach Self-Realization."  Thus, as students on the path of awakening, our first and last lesson was to develop self-mastery.   In I found an book written by Neville Goddard, and was amazed how deeply he was able to articulate a fundamental principle of self-mastery regarding the use of feeling and the power of the sub-consciousness. I would like to share a few key principles from his book and suggest an action we can take to implement his principles. Principle 1: “The conscious impresses the subconscious while the subconscious expresses all that is impressed upon it. The subconscious does not originate ideas but accepts as true those which the conscious mind feels to be true, and in a way known only to itself objectifies the accepted ideas...

This is a transcript of an affirmation practice and short but powerful teaching given by Murshida Mary during a time of need.  Use this daily to nourish and sustain you.

One of the fortunate few, you have found your way to the door of the Dervish; you knock on the door and ask for the treasure box of life and it is freely given. But the dervish tells you it is hidden, only you don't hear her, you don't think it is hidden because you are dazzled by the allure of the box itself. Happily, you display your beautiful treasure box in prominent places for all to see.  People notice and ask you about it and you proudly talk about how you obtained it.

You pine and lament, wishing for more treasure. You become full of desire for more of life's hidden treasure. Your desire creates a longing, and that longing draws you closer, until you see signs of the hidden treasure.  For awhile you think the signs are the treasure and be...
