Feeling is the physical expression of being. It is the bridge to experience. We are literally feeling our way through life. If we change our feelings as a result of events, those events will continually repeat in response to our feelings about them.

I believe that the more real our own eternalness is to us, the easier it is to embrace the perfection in all things. If we see life as an 80-year crapshoot and then you die, we're not going to be in the headspace of seeing the perfection in the world.

What the ego overlooks is the nature of things. It believes its entire world is there to provide for or steal away what it needs. It doesn't seek out the reasons for motivations of others, nor does it fully appreciate architectures that make things the way they are. It always takes things personally.

I've come to believe that every inspiration to action, if followed, brings us closer and closer to our highest life. It's that life filled with love, fun, and creativity--a life of harmony, security and freedom from worry.

When we get hung up on the negativity in the world, adding emotional reactions and blocking or cancelling all things "bad" we become agents of the conflict. By observing the chaos without resistance, and then choosing to find love, we amplify the goodness of not only our own life, but the lives of everyone.

Allowing negative experiences to justify expressions of negative emotions is the super-highway to unhappiness.

Life is a becoming. It is a journey from dark to light. Even when it seems to be going from light to dark, at some point, it all turns around to become dark to light.

It is the total oneness of life; the sum total of all interactions from microbes to human nations; that is affected by our every act, and more fundamentally, by our every thought.

The bottom line is that if the Pilgrims would have been bound by safteyism, they never would have set sail for America; the pioneers would never have gone West to settle; World War II would have been lost; and no one would have ever gone to the moon.

This is the value of opposition. When you feel attacked, observe how you feel about that, and how it is wired to your experiences and definitions of who you believe yourself to be.
