Some are included in the series; others are from footage published here for the first time. A new word will be posted every Monday throughout the year. May they serve to inspire hope and lift your heart.

There is only one self, ultimately, and this is God manifesting in us and this manifests most effectively when we’re not thinking about ourselves at all. It’s just being who you are as a human being and who you are is a rational animal that is being deified in communion with all other human beings. So we are influencing other people by our personal work on ourselves, not for our own sake, but for the transformation of the whole human family.
La Verdad del Único Ser
