What does it mean to know self?

To know self is the key, but from what point of view, what perspective?

To know self is indeed a relatively flat statement, but to know self in the sense of learning to love, to understand the far-reaching and profound nature of love in your life, that is the point, the struggle, the issue.

The ultimate goal is to know self and then to love, to love deeply and profoundly, to understand the way of love as it courses through your being.

For you are capable of generating great love and you are infused with love. Indeed your spiritual nature is the energy of love flowing through you, an energy that can be experienced only when the blockades and barriers to it are eliminated.

To know self is to see self as an individual, a singular being with your own particular gifts, abilities, proclivities and faults.

To know self in the spiritual sense is to experience love, to experience generating love and to experience being love.

Only by experiencing love can one know love in all its dimensions. And only by opening self to love can one experience it.


What does it mean to be tougher in life?

To be tougher is to allow self the luxury of being self. To be weak is to be confused, to allow circumstances dictate your life to you.

To be tough is to be willing to plunge in and chart a path for your life rather than drifting aimlessly about until you get angry, bitter, forlorn, dishonest. To plunge in and chart a path is both mentally disciplining and a wonderful exercise of faith.

And to exercise faith is to align all the unseen forces and creative powers towards the creation that you desire, the creation that is your life.

The powers await your command.
