We have to really educate ourselves in a way about who we are, what our real identity is.

We all feel the urge to condemn ourselves out of guilt, to blame others for our misfortunes and to fantasize about total disaster.

The willingness to reach inside every part of yourself opens the door to total understanding. You place your entire identity on the line, not just an isolated part. This may sound daunting, but actually it’s the most natural way to approach any situation. When you hold some part of yourself in reserve you deny it exposure to life; you repress its energy and keep it form understanding what it needs to know.

Spirituality is meant to take us beyond our tribal identity into a domain of awareness that is more universal.

What gets in our way is history and culture and religion and economic conditions. It is part of the hypnosis of our social conditioning.

The masculine energy was about survival. The male was the hunter who risked his life and had to be in the fight-flight mode.
