The wound
"The wound is where the light enters you"
Rumi
Don't try to bandage the wound, cover it, ignore it.
Don't kill the pain with with pills, alchohol or shame.
Don't escape it.
Don't avoid it.
Dig fingers deeper in the wound make it larger and more painful, experience it to the point of ecstatic pleasure, where the whole body vibrates with sensation and the mind can't tell pleasure from pain.
Drown in it.
Drown in the tears and the ache.
Drown in the light.
Drown in the wisdom entering the heart and the love exploding from you.
Emerge, like a butterfly, transformed.
Emerge, like the phoenix, brighter than ever before.

Power is not free
If we let others trample all over us they will keep on doing it.
If we sit quitely, passively and hope for some humanity, for justice, for compassion we will perish.
Stand up and face the wind.
Confront.
Not only those who we beleive are taking advantage of us but our own shadows and weaknesses.
Confront.
Not only when it comes to our survival but when it comes to the quality of humanness we expect.
Demand.
Not only what is rightfully ours but what is just.
Stop sitting helplessly and moan that we have been robbed of our power.
No one can take our power away. No one has to- we give it in voluntarily.
We hand our integrity and strength, our pride and our power so we can avoid confrontation.
So we can keep some sense of security in a world where security can not exist.
Justice and integrity and safety for our own unigueness can't survive in a environment where we can't speak our truth for fear of being judged, regected or shunned away.
Take our power and hold on to it tight.
But don't think power comes for free.
Power comes with the price of responsibility.
The responsibility for our own happiness, for our own destiny, for our own integrity.
If we wish to sit petrified by our own stupidity and wait mindlessly for someone else to take pity on us, save us, take care of our responsibilities and make us happy then we will drown in our own ignorance.
Have the guts to be human. Have the guts to be weak and scared and wrong but own it.
Embrace our emotions and let them be what they are without repressing them.
Take the responsibility for our feelings, for our actions, for our success or failure, instead of mindlessly throwing the blame around for someone else to carry.
Stand up.
Confront.
Demand.
And take the responsibility for the consequences.
We owe it to ourselves and to the rest of humanity.

Journey into the unknown
Patterns and habits are infinite loops in the mind that keeps us from going forward.
Like a music player stuck on repeat, going over and over again, stuck in a rut.
Habits give us security, a sense that we know what is to come, what is to be.
But how are we to grow if we are always doing the same thing, dancing to the same tune.
Break away from the learned steps and dance with chaos, each step a lifetime of its own, each movement a journey without destination.
Dancing with the rhythm of our own hearthbeat, rising high with our inhale, sinking into darkness with the exhale.
An infinite dance with the unpredictable, step by step, breath by breath facing our shadows, leaving everything already known behind.

The journey's purpose
"If the creator represents absolute beauty, it is the nature of beauty to desire manifestation"
The journey of souls
We are all part of one source, the creator energy, infinite love and light, endless beauty.
And if we are wondering what our purpose here is, it is to embody this dazzling beauty.
It is not to suffer, to be punished for past sins or to absolve new ones. We are not here to judge what is right or wrong but to be, to love and manifest love.
To create and be joyful for manifesting the unknown into this world
To perpetuate the endless journey of infinite light.

The highest form of love
To serve is the highest form of love.
Don't confuse giving with sacrifice.
Don't confuse restraint with lacking something.
To serve is to take that which we already have and share it with the universe, confident that the source of love is unlimited and endless.

Time
There is no such thing as not enough time.
Time only exists in our mind.
Don't ever chase time or let it be the source of tension.
Don't be a slave of Time.
Slow Time down
Make it work for you.
