Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness.

"Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."

Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.

When superior people hear of the Way, they carry it out with diligence. When middling people hear of the Way, it sometimes seems to be there, sometimes not. When lesser people hear of the Way, they ridicule it greatly. If they didn't laugh at it, it wouldn't be the Way.

“Brian is like a philosophical diamond hunter, finding rare gems of wisdom and presenting them to us with polish, dazzle, and great delight.”  ~ Stephen Dinan, Author, "Radical Spirit"; Founder, Shift in Action

“Love it, love it, love it. For a person like me, the "concentrated wisdom" element is a terrific thing, since it gives me lots of options: buy the book, teach the concepts, enrich my conversations, or simply re-energize my thinking. I also like the way you write about what can be somewhat "heavy" subjects to most people. You lighten it up, but stay out of the way of it at the same time. It’s such a gift—I can see your site quickly becoming Inspiration Central for us all.”  ~ Kristelle Sim, Co-Creator, Dash-of-Life Coaching

"In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
