Wheresoever patterns are found, there are complexes at work. Wheresoever complexes are found, history prevails over the present. Wheresoever history prevails over the present, we are stuck. (James Hollis, On This Journey We Call Life, 2003, p.31)
Still beautiful weather, crisp and clear, delicious coffee, and after all “all I know is that I know nothing”……..

Thrilled that Los Angeles Filmforum can accept tax deductible donations for my new project– The ancient Greek MINOTAUR myth set in the labyrinths of Old Jerusalem. The message is peace in the Middle East.
Support this film. Support the arts. Support peace.

Practice is joyful, but not in the usual sense. It is hard joy, tough joy, but you will achieve something in the end. Joy is connected with hard work and exertion: you appreciate working hard and you are not trying to escape from pain. If you stay with the pain of practice, it is like carving a rock: It is not necessarily pleasurable, but you are achieving something. You keep going and appreciate keeping going.

I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.

As adults, we begin to cultivate a sense of loving-kindness for ourselves—by ourselves, for ourselves. The whole process of meditation is one of creating that good ground, that cradle of loving-kindness where we actually are nurtured. What’s being nurtured is our confidence in our own wisdom, our own health, and our own courage, our own goodheartedness. We develop some sense that the way we are—the kind of personality that we have and the way we express life—is good, and that by being who we are completely and by totally accepting that and having respect for ourselves, we are standing on the ground of warriorship. ~~~Pema Chodron
