Welcome Home - come stay here for while


Mostly quotes from friends and sages - and sometimes I'll quote myself :)
I like this one a lot: "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.You're on your own. And you know what you know....And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go." - Dr. Seuss

Your Uniqueness

...and why you are needed.
I wish I could write like this, instead, this is copied from "Integral Life", I think Ken Wilber wrote it.

"Your awakening or enlightenment has a unique perspective that is held only by you. True Self plus Perspective = Unique Self. Your gifts flow from that perspective, gifts that are desired and needed by the rest of creation. You have innate contributions to make and a unique potential to realize. You have gifts to give. From the perspective of the Unique Self Teaching we might say that the obligation which wells up from your evolutionary realization is to give the gifts that are yours alone to give.

Your Unique Gift creates in its wake your Unique Obligation. You are inextricable from the larger whole and at the same time, you are here to serve it. You not only have something to get from the world, you have something to give the world. Something that no one else can give the world but you. The experience of Unique Self
changes your relationship to everything. Love, joy, sexuality, parenting, relationships, pleasure, meaning, purpose, challenge, and even loss are held in the trust that you are exactly who you need to be.

And beautifully enough, you are able to allow others to be fully who they are as unique, as complete, as whole and specific. This is one of the litmus tests of whether you are in Unique Self or ego. If you are in Unique Self you are able to joyously recognize and affirm the Unique Self of others without feeling like they are taking something that is yours."
