"Because paradox is at our very core, the spirituality of imperfection suggests that only by embracing the "dark side" of our ambiguous natures can we ever come to know " the light".
We find ourselves only by giving up our selves, we gain freedom by submitting to the will of others, we gain autonomy not by insisting on our own rights.
Saints and Sages throughout the centuries have maintained that it is the willingness to give up the self and and give in to others that the road to human wholeness can be found.
And for those who would give up the "self', the first step is to give up certainty."
