But when we acknowledge them by discovering what they really need, and nurture them, our demons release their hold, and we find that they actually do not have power over us. By nurturing the shadow elements of our being with infinite generosity, we can access the state of luminous awareness and undermine ego. By feeding the demons, we resolve conflict and duality, finding our way to unity.” WayNeedsBelieveRealStatesFightingStrongAwarenessConflictEgoElementsFindingsShadowStrongerInfiniteUnityAccessReleaseGenerosityAcknowledgeDemonEmpoweringResolveDiscoveringNurtureFeedingDualityNurturingLuminousOur Demons Author:Tsultrim Allione
“In a world threatened by a famine of righteousness and spiritual starvation, we have been commanded to sustain the prophet. As we give heed to, uphold, and affirm prophetic word, we witness that we have the faith to humbly submit to the will, the wisdom, and the timing of the Lord. We heed prophetic word even when it may seem unreasonable, inconvenient, and uncomfortable.

But following the prophet is always right.” WorldGivingMayHas BeensSeemsSpiritualLordStandardsFollowingWitnessUncomfortableProphetRighteousnessSubmitTimingThreatenedStarvationFamineHeedUnreasonablePropheticInconvenient Author:Carol F.
