    I am curious and reflective. I trust my intuition and believe in the innate power of our subconscious mind. I seek to keep an open mind and heart so that I may see and feel the truth.

    "I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality. This new concept ought to be elaborated alongside the religions, in such a way that all people of good will could adhere to it."
    - the Dalai Lama

      Don’t know what color to paint your wall? Just pick up some color samples and put them up on your wall.

      “One thing contains everything. With the energy of mindfulness, we can see deeply. With the Holy Spirit, we can see deeply. Mindfulness is the energy of the Buddha. The Holy Spirit is the energy of God. They both have the capacity to make us...”

  1. The art of jiu-jitsu is based on a knowledge of balance and how to disturb it. In a struggle of moral jiu-jitsu, the retention of moral balance seems to depend upon the qualities of one’s relationship to moral truth. Hence part of the superior power of the nonviolent resister seems to lie in the nature of his character. He must have primarily that disposition best known as love - an interest in people so deep, and determined, and lasting as to be creative; a profound knowledge of or faith in the ultimate possibilities of human nature; a courage based upon a conscious or subconscious realization of the underlying unity of all life and eternal values or eternal life of the human spirit; a strong and deep desire for and love of truth; and a humility that is not cringing or self-deprecatory or timid but is rather a true sense of proportion in regard to people, things, qualities and ultimate values. These human traits of love, faith, courage, honesty, and humility exist in greater or less strength in every person. By self-training and discipline they can be developed sufficiently to make a good nonviolent ‘soldier’ out of any ordinary human being.
