The one who rushes is continuously almost where he imagines he needs to be... to be free; whereas the one who dares slow down his life discovers that he is always standing in a living Light wherein he sees that he is... and has always been free!
To remember that the reaction of another is not our responsibility frees us not only from the futile action of trying to repair moments past, but also sets in motion the possibility of freeing that person from his mistaken idea that something outside of him is to be blamed for his unwanted experience of life.
While it's impossible to be free of "my" psychological body, including the elements inherent in the ceaseless appearance of its conditioned reactions, I am free to change my relationship to that body and -- in so doing -- do the interior work of liberating myself from its equally ceaseless identification with its own self-created dark states.

Nothing is created that isn’t preceded by an act of love, which means that our experience of life – our manifestation of it – for either its grace and beauty, or its broken-heartedness, is the inescapable expression of what we actually love.
The only person who may be said to be truly free is the one who is able -- interiorly -- to do as he wishes all the time, regardless of his exterior circumstances. All others -- who spend their interior lives doing what they don't want to do in exchange for some fleeting moment of exterior freedom -- are not free, but live out a secret servitude which their suffering betrays.
Classroom Talk: 4/25/2003 - Just as we know that we're responsible when a thief steals our car because we left it unattended with the keys in the ignition, so should we realize that we have no one else to blame for how bad we feel whenever we permit negative states to steal into our heart and drive off with it!
