Where All Things Are Possible

You must unlearn what
you've been programmed
to believe since birth.
That software no longer
serves you if you want
to live in a world where
all things are possible.

Jacqueline E. Purcell

Unexamined Beliefs

Among the biggest impediments on the spiritual path are our unexamined beliefs about life, about truth, and about ourselves. To be truly available for transformation, we must release ourselves from those limiting beliefs. We don't necessarily have to get rid of our beliefs; beliefs have their functions. Rather, we learn to let go of our beliefs, which is also to let go of our identity.

Coming Home to Roost

Of course there may still be what I like to call "ego flare-ups," but that's inevitable and entirely to be expected. It's just the chickens coming home to roost. Eventually, all you scattered parts - the part of you that have been repressed, cut off, marginalized, or just forgotten - return home to be integrated. Then come back to be forgiven, to be loved, to be embraced - and finally to be appreciated because they are the fuel for the fire of transformation.

People Who Are Helping

When I was a boy and I would see
scary things on the news, my mother
would say to me, "Look for the helpers.
You will always find people who are helping."

Fred Rogers

Love All

Love all,
trust a few,
do wrong to none.

William Shakespeare

Forgiveness

Forgiveness means
giving up all hope
of a better past.

Landrum Bolling

Politics

Politics is about establishing
a shared sense of reality
with like-minded people.
It's not about facts.
