Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless--like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can "flow" or it can "crash"!
----Bruce Lee

Through our beliefs we fix onto a particular perspective of reality and filter out those facets of reality that disagree with our views of how things are.

Inner awakening and/or expansion of consciousness involve stepping back from beliefs and assumptions. Yet too often our need for security leads us to turn our paths of liberation into yet another belief.  More >

MUTUAL FORGIVENESS

We live in complex times. We are quick it seems to judge and condemn when in fact most or all of us have our own misgivings. How then is it to grant forgiveness and yet not seek it for ourselves as well. Our hypocrisies afterall, whether conscious or unconscious stare us in the face, each time we gaze in the mirror. Why? Because it is difficult to live without some degree of hypocrisy in such a complex world. We either face that or deny our inherant contradictions.
We have all at times been required to forfeit truth to save our own skin and or the skin of another and or others. Such are the demands of complex living. Lie or die. It is not easy then to care or to be green though it is the right thing to do but who of us is perfect.
Therefore enter mutual forgiveness. We must endevour to clear the slate, all of us being sinners perhaps past the age of 2. So I ask please forgive me as I forgive you and in this mutual forgiveness let us find a better place and be better peoples and humans.
For the golden rule... is chiefly and in essence a testament of mutual forgiveness.

The Ferengi are a fictional extraterrestrial race from the Star Trek universe.

Their home planet, Ferenginar, is a non-Federation world governed by the Grand Nagus and a Commerce Authority made primarily of the Council of Economic Advisors (formerly Board of Liquidators). Like most of their culture, their religion is also based on economic principles: they offer prayers and monetary offerings to a Blessed Exchequer in hopes of entering the Divine Treasury upon death, and fear an afterlife spent in the Vault of Eternal Destitution.  More >
