"Like raising a child. It seems endless, then all of a sudden its almost over". This one hits deep as we're packing up to send our youngest off to college next week.

Thank you. I'm heartily supporting you to write the book through the subscription.

Even better than reading short essays.

Thank you

The inner courtroom is the architecture of the false self. The defense attorney, the prosecutor, the judge, all of them are voices that have been installed before you had the words to question them. The verdict is always the same. You are guilty. You do not deserve love. You carry that conviction on your permanent record, pretending it is not there, and therefore believing it is true.

What lingers with me is the distinction between deserving and receiving. Deserving is a transaction. It is earned. It is conditional. Receiving is an opening. It does not require proof. It does not require a defense. Love comes whether you deserve it or not. The giver does not review the court records. The giver does not even enter the courtroom.

The mercy is not a verdict. It is a bypass.

Is anything spoken really the truth or is it all overlay realities? It is assuring when love comes through and can be felt within the layers.
