About Gayle Crosby

Because TRUTH I could trust!

WHAT I COULD AND COULD NOT LIVE WITH

I could live with the consequences of my embracing or running away from TRUTH.  What I couldn’t live with, was my own, or someone else’s opinion, belief or idea of ‘truth’, albeit well-meaning, nevertheless wrong, due to an unintentional lack of RIGHT KNOWLEDGE. 

A DEFINITE TURNING POINT

There came a definite point (and I remember it well) when I was aware that only TRUTH mattered.  It was clearly pointless to evade the inevitable which was TRUTH, its purposes and goals. TRUTH WAS, TRUTH IS, AND TRUTH WILL ETERNALLY BE.

MY OPINION NO LONGER MATTERED

The opinions of others, their assumptions, blind hopes, unsubstantiated beliefs, wishful thinking and misperceptions, (including mine) no longer mattered.  

WHAT I WAS LEFT WITH

What I was left with was a Divine Inner Force, unrelentingly driving me to discover for myself, that self-evident TRUTH which could only be confirmed by my own good mind.    THEN…  my Episcopal Priest in New York, the wise Rev. Doug Fisher, suggested, “when the student is ready, the teacher will come”.  It would be another frustrating year of searching before a synthesis of the Great Master Teachers, whose essential teachings were the same, ageless and universal… found me! 

THIS STRONGHOLD…THIS FOUNDATION

There is no mystery to these teachings

…you can access them at any time.  But most people neither have the interest nor time  for such rigorous and intellectual pursuits.  But, after 20 years of study and teaching Universal Wisdom, I’ve discovered its best to learn well the basics, even as a Ph.D. must first learn its ABC’s and 123’s, This, in order to build a strong foundation, secure enough to withstand the many and absolutely necessary storms to mature our human Souls.   This Stronghold, this Foundation, I share with you now, based on personal experience. 

THE MISTAKES I MADE

I have made the mistake of rushing forward.  I have made the mistake of trying to take the short cut, thinking I was different from other Souls. These misperceptions only served to return me to the Beginning, having made no forward progress due to the fact that I was “ignorant… that I was ignorant”.  

EVERY DIVINE CONTINGENCY 

Fortunately, Divine contingencies have ever been created for ones such as you and me.   Amazingly, it was during my ‘heroic attempts’, made with the best of intentions which  failed due to a lack of RIGHT KNOWLEDGE … that I received ‘THE KEY’.  Learning through failure allowed me to rise up from the rubble of my own mistakes and move on to wonders and mysteries unveiled that only the pure of heart may see.
