A Job Is Something We Do To

A Civilization Built On Dualism And War Within And Between Persons, One That Puts Its Most Creative Minds And Its Best Engineers To Sadistic Work Building More And More Destructive Weapons, Is No Civilization At All. It Needs A Radical Transformation From The Heart Outwards. It Needs To Outgrow And Outlaw War Just As In The Last Century It Outlawed Slavery. The Human Race Has Outgrown War, But It Hardly Knows It Yet.

I Don't Think That Fundamentalism Has Anything To Do With Jesus Christ. They Call Themselves Christians, But If That's Christian, Count Me Out. Fundamentalism Is Built On Fear And Greed. They're Telling You To Give Them Your Money Otherwise You're Going To Hell.

We All Share Beauty. It Strikes Us Indiscriminately. There Is No End To The Beauty For The Person Who Is Aware. Even The Cracks Between The Sidewalk Contain Geometric Patterns Of Amazing Beauty. If We Take Pictures Of Them And Blow Up The Photographs, We Realize We Walk On Beauty Every Day, Even When Things Seem Ugly Around Us.

Soul Is Our Appetite, Driving Us To Eat From The Banquet Of Life. People Filled With The Hunger Of Soul Take Food From Every Dish Before Them, Whether It Be Sweet Or Bitter.

Facing The Darkness, Admitting The Pain, Allowing The Pain To Be Pain, Is Never Easy. This Is Why Courage - Big-heartedness - Is The Most Essential Virtue On The Spiritual Journey. But If We Fail To Let Pain Be Pain - And Our Entire Patriarchal Culture Refuses To Let This Happen - Then Pain Will Haunt Us In Nightmarish Ways. We Will Become Pain's Victims Instead Of The Healers We Might Become.
