True initiation is a response to an inner calling; it requires that you face personal challenges heroically and experience a genuine rebirth into a new way of being.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are dreamers and those who are being dreamed.

The more separated we become from the Earth, the more hostile we become to the feminine. We disown our passion, our creativity, and our sexuality. Eventually the Earth itself becomes a baneful place.

The True Self is infinite. It knows no boundaries. Pure essence. Pure light. Engulfing the mind, the soul, the body, the invisible real, with its radiance.

Destiny is saying yes to the calling we were born with.

Life will drag us kicking and screaming to our destiny if we try to escape it.
