Spiritual teachings sometimes counsel a need to let go of the ego. In our view,though, ego and personality are essential players in our theatre of life. Personality is the vehicle for Spirit to evolve through form. Soul sparks the potential that exists within the personality. We don’t want the ego to disappear – we want it to open to divine guidance so the two may work together in alignment. And so the path of personality aims to build a healthy, skilful ego. Ironically,only a strong, mature ego can take responsibility for carrying the consciousness of soul. “How do we nurture the soul? By revering our own life. By treating it as supremely important. By reaching for the best within ourselves. By learning tol ove it all, not only the joys and the victories, but also the pain and the struggles.” -- Nathaniel Branden

The first step in awareness is to be watchful of your body. And as you become aware, a miracle starts happening: many things that you used to do before simply disappear. Your body becomes more relaxed, your body become more attuned. -- Osho

"The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is forus to harmonize with this order." -- Henry Miller

"Don’t get your hopes up!" Were you warned of this as a child? What does this say? It says that life is bound to disappoint you. It says, don’t aim high because you’re not likely to get what you want. It says that we can’t expect good things to happen to us. As our thinking creates our reality, this kind of thinking dooms us to a mundane existence. It’s time to change our stories. Why not focus the immense power of our hearts and minds on bringing to fruition the very best life has to offer?Allow yourself to hope and believe in all possibilities. "Hope is the companion of power, and the mother of success; for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles." -- Samuel Smiles
