The Myth of Full Potential
I saw a video the other day. Palm trees, white linen, slow-motion smiles.
A voice whispered: Create a new life and unlock your full potential.
I laughed. Then I rolled my eyes. Then, somewhere between cynicism and sadness, I felt that old sting again. The one that comes when we humans try to sell transcendence.
Years ago, I used to work at one of those places. A luxury retreat center promising miracles and rebirth.
The Ego and the Black Hole
A spark of soul descends into matter — from pure energy into form, from light into flesh. Already, the soul is touched by resonance, by the lives around it, by love and by fear. By the time we take our first breath, the shaping has already begun.
The Cosmic Joke
Separation, lack of trust, lack of compassion, and lack of individuated education. From there grow feelings like loneliness, unworthiness, and a sense of lost-ness, from which derive our modern society’s physical ailments. From these come wars, trash-filled oceans, and deforestation. When I look at this chain of cause and effect I can only come to this one conclusion: The only way out of our dilemma is the way into the heart.
