Work Should Be In Order

Healthy Mysticism Praises Acts Of Letting Go, Of Being Emptied, Of Getting In Touch With The Space Inside And Expanding This Until It Merges With The Space Outside. Space Meeting Space; Empty Pouring Into Empty. Births Happen From That Encounter With Emptiness, Nothingness. . . . Let Us Not Fight Emptiness And Nothingness, But Allow It To Penetrate Us Even As We Penetrate It.

Beauty Saves. Beauty Heals. Beauty Motivates. Beauty Unites. Beauty Returns Us To Our Origins, And Here Lies The Ultimate Act Of Saving, Of Healing, Of Overcoming Dualism.

The Prophets Preach . . . That Pleasure, Not Will-power And Coercion, Is How You Most Deeply Transform People.

Prayer Is Essentially About Making The Heart Strong So That Fear Cannot Penetrate There.

Facing The Darkness, Admitting The Pain, Allowing The Pain To Be Pain, Is Never Easy. This Is Why Courage - Big-heartedness - Is The Most Essential Virtue On The Spiritual Journey. But If We Fail To Let Pain Be Pain - And Our Entire Patriarchal Culture Refuses To Let This Happen - Then Pain Will Haunt Us In Nightmarish Ways. We Will Become Pain's Victims Instead Of The Healers We Might Become.
