The word philosophy comes from the Greek for ‘love of wisdom’. The question upon which all of philosophy sits is, Who am I? Jesus answered this question directly. He said, “You are the light of the world.”
And I thought I was a body.
“Whatever you ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” There’s no wiggle room here. It’s either true or the man who said it was a boiled egg.
Trust is the secret of life. It’s the realization that whatever happens, happens to help me. If I trust life, I don’t judge it or grieve it or describe myself as a victim.
Peace, joy, love, abundance—these are realizations, not achievements. On the inner journey, effort is impedimental.
It begins with the realization that I’m not myself, that I’m stuffed into a girdle of tics, persuasions, judgements, beliefs and behaviours, and that this mess of quarrelling propensities is driving the bus.
