you have to find your innermost core on your own,
with no guide, no guiding scriptures.

you are bound to come to the sunrise.
Everybody who has burned with intense inquiry
has found the sunrise.
Others only believe.
Those who believe are not religious,
they are simply avoiding the great adventure
of religion by believing.

We should not pretend to understand

We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,

It is equally important to avoid accepting any idea
merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

I am the owner of my choices.
I am the source for the perspectives I choose to hold...
regardless of how aware I am of why or how I come to possess
that particular perspective.
It takes courage to look into the mirror of our souls, absent excuses.

SEE and ACT. SEE what I can bear to see and ACT upon what I am able.
This is the heart of a gentle invitation to personal responsibility.
