Cosmic love is absolutely ruthless and highly indifferent it teaches its lessons whether you like/dislike them or not.  ~ John Lilly

and when we begin to feel a little less edgy, we remember why we follow a path, why we trust a deeper space….

Those of us who have committed to the spiritual path find ourselves on a never-ending journey in which each level of expansion and awareness we achieve is accompanied by new levels of complexity. And increasingly subtle levels of self-deception arise as we gradually move toward stabilizing ourselves in an increasingly integrated perspective. Understanding this, the importance of cultivating discernment becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. Spiritual life is, among other things, a continual revelation about what spiritual life is not.   ~Mariana Caplan
