Within each experience of pain or negativity is the opportunity to challenge the perception that lies behind it and to choose to learn with wisdom.

The intellect is no longer the chairman of the board - it is an employee. It becomes a tool in the service of the heart.

A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself.

Anything that we do to make ourselves feel worthy and safe is a flight from the pain of powerlessness. Every pursuit of external power - every attempt to change the world or a person in order to make yourself feel valuable and safe - is a distraction from the pain of powerlessness.

You do not stop losing power by refusing to recognize your fear, by anesthetizing yourself to what you feel. The road to authentic power is always through what you feel through your heart.

We have much to do together. Let us do it in wisdom and love and joy. Let us make this the human experience.

Emotions are messengers that carry information. Spiritual growth depends upon receiving that information & using it.
