We’re all doing our best at every turn. We’re all the same in this, and however broken or messy we may be, we’re fundamentally oriented to truth and love in the end. The gravity of our essential being and goodness is always drawing us home. And I know this is challenging to our understanding when…
Whenever desire or dissatisfaction shows up our first instinct is to try to get or change something. We’re trained to leap up and run after our impulses like show-dogs.

Among other things, spiritual awakening is the trigger for radical release, the popped cork that frees up the suppressed energetics held in place by the egoic self.
