“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen

- Before connecting our shadow and light selves. Becoming whole. Self sabotage was our enemy. Which is why we chose this quote.  Faith, self love the understanding of self worth. Took us from existing 2 Living.  We traveled through many wormholes, rabbit holes "boom tubes" & portals. Each time ending up exactly where we started. At the self. We were so focused on grabbing hold of what we already had  we didn't even take the earth time to notice we had expanded self beyond the self.  Following our inner "sacred voice" allowed for such an experience.- G.J. the spiritual reverend
