Seeker's Question, Shaman's Answer

Post by JWL » Sun Mar 16, 2008 2:00 am

A Seeker's Question:
Why do we continue to do things to ourselves that we KNOW are not good for us, that we know will harm us and bring no enduring benefit?

A Shaman's Answer:
Because we are not yet good enough at loving ourselves.

Amen. This is the absolute truth.. If we are to create the life we want we must begin within. "One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life, that word is love." ~ Socrates
"Sometimes we need to begin again, to become more fully alive, to realize ourselves"
