If you can accept the flow of life and give in to it, you will be accepting what is real. Only when you accept what is real can you live with it in peace and happiness. The alternative is a struggle that will never end because it is a struggle with the unreal, with a mirage of life instead of life itself.

Whoever we understand, we love.

When we experience the power of the Self, there is an absence of fear, there is no compulsion to control, and no struggle for approval or external power.

Emotional intelligence grows through perception. Look around at your present situation and observe it through the level of feeling.

Nothing has more power to transform than awareness. When you become complete inside yourself, the worst conditions don't matter.

You only have to gaze around you at the natural world to see the proof that beauty, form, order, and growth have survived for billions of years. In dealing with your shadow, you are aligning yourself with the same infinite power. The shadow isn't a fearsome opponent but a worthy one. Powerful as it is, the power of wholeness is infinitely greater, and by a miracle of creation, it is within your grasp.

You belong in the scheme of the universe. There's nothing to be afraid of. You are Safe.
