lights on the path

There is an underlying joy and peace that can be known and that doesn’t end. When you can practice being yourself and going beyond a limiting story, you create the conditions for transformation and begin walking a path of freedom.

When it comes to the very practical business of aligning our vision and values with our actions on the word, we look like amateurs, unfamiliar with the tools we need. Spiritual experiences, perspectives and practices are wrongly framed as otherworldly, rather than precious human resources to bring our ideals into being.

What a mystery the way things act on us, like secret messages just to you as you sit in the dark.

The sphere of our possible intellectual knowledge is thus strictly conditioned by the limits of our own personality. On this basis, not the ends of the earth, but the external termini of our own sensory nerves, are the termini of our explorations: and to "know oneself" is really to know one's universe.

To paraphrase Antoine Saint-Exupéry, we may say: rituals are in life what things are in space.
