If you try to view yourself through the lenses that others offer you, all you will see are distortions; your own light and beauty will become blurred, awkward, and ugly.

Your sense of inner beauty has to remain a very private thing. The secret and the sacred are sisters. Our times suffer from such a loss of the sacred because our respect for the secret has completely vanished.

Our modern technology of information is one of the great destroyers of privacy. We need to shelter that which is deep and reserved within us.

This is why there is such hunger in modern life for the language of the soul. The soul is a shy presence. The hunger for the language of the soul shows that the soul has been forced to recede to private areas; only there can it mind its own texture and rhythm.

The modern world, by trumpeting the doctrine of self-sufficiency, has denied the soul and forced it to eke out its existence on the margins.

If we are to connect with our inner life, we need to learn not to grasp at the soul in a direct or confrontational way.

In other words, the neon consciousness of much modern psychology and spirituality will always leave us in soul poverty.

Negative introspection damages the soul. It holds many people trapped for years and years, and ironically, it never allows them to change.

It is wise to allow the soul to carry on its secret work in the night side of your life.

You might not see anything stirring for a long time. You might have only the slightest intimations of the secret growth that is happening within you, but these intimations are sufficient.

We should be fulfilled and satisfied with them. You cannot dredge the depths of the soul with the meagre light of self-analysis.

The inner world never reveals itself cheaply. Perhaps analysis is the wrong way to approach our inner dark.

It is a lonely experience to be at the deathbed of someone who is full of regret;

to hear him say how he would love another year to do the things his heart had always dreamed of but believed he could never do until he retired. He had always postponed the dream of his heart.

There are many people who do not live the lives they desire. Many of the things that hold them back from inhabiting their destiny are false. These are only images in their minds. They are not real barriers at all.

We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.

A Blessing;

May the light of your soul guide you.

May the light of your soul bless the work you do with the secret love and warmth of your heart.

May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.

May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light, and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.

May your work never weary you.

May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration, and excitement.

May you be present in what you do.

May you never become lost in the bland absences.

May the day never burden.

May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.

May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.

May you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.

May your soul calm, console, and renew you.

One encouraging aspect of the negative is its truthfulness. The negative does not lie. It will tell you clearly where you court absence rather than inhabit presence.

On entering your solitude, one of the first presences to announce itself is the negative.

Nietzche said that one of the best days in his life was the day when he rebaptized all his negative qualities as his best qualities.

In this kind of baptism, rather than banishing what is at first glimpse unwelcome, you bring it home to unity with your life. This is the slow and difficult work of self-retrieval.

Every person has certain qualities or presences in their heart that are awkward, disturbing, and negative. One of your sacred duties is to exercise kindness toward them.

In a sense, you are called to be a loving parent to your delinquent qualities. Your kindness will slowly poultice their negativity, alleviate their fear, and help them to see that your soul is a home where there is no judgment or febrile hunger for a fixed and limited identity.

The negative threatens us so powerfully precisely because it is an invitation to an art of compassion and self-enlargement that our small thinking utterly resists.

Your vision is your home, and your home should have many mansions to shelter your wild divinity.

Such integration respects the multiplicity of selves within. It does not force them into a factitious unity, it allows them to cohere as one, each bringing its unique difference to complement the harmony.

You may wish to change your life, you may be in therapy or religion, but your new vision remains merely talk until it enters the practice of your day.

The ocean is one of the delights for the human eye. The seashore is a theater of fluency.

When the mind is entangled, it is soothing to walk by the seashore, to let the rhythm of the ocean inside you.

The ocean disentangles the netted mind. Everything loosens and comes back to itself. The false divisions are relieved, released, and healed.

A Blessing of Solitude;

May you recognize in your life the presence, power, and light of your soul.

May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe.

May you have respect for your own individuality and difference.

May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that you have a special destiny here,

that behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful, good, and eternal happening.

May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.

There is a deep beauty within each person.

Modern culture is obsessed with cosmetic perfection. Beauty is standardized; it has become another product for sale.

In its real sense, beauty is the illumination of your soul.
