Living Deeply

What Really Controls Us? (Robert Johnson)

 

The unconscious is a marvelous universe of unseen energies, forces, forms of intelligence-even distinct personalities-that live within us. It is a much larger realm than most of us realize, one that has a complete life of its own running parallel to the ordinary life we live day by day. The unconscious is the secret source of much of our thought, feeling, and behavior. It influences us in ways that are all the more powerful because it is unsuspected.

 

True Wealth (Rowan Williams)

Wealth is well-being. And well-being, for a mature human being, is the assurance of relationships that nourish you, the assurance of a future that is relatively secure, that is somehow protected against appalling disaster and deprivation. Wealth is the capacity to put down roots where you are and be at home with yourself and your neighbors.

If you understand wealth in those terms, then wealth ceases to be about endless material growth and becomes very much about how you create the kind of social cohesiveness and trustfulness that keeps societies going.

I Pray for A "Bigger" Vision of God in 2010 (Quote from C.S. Lewis - Prince Caspian)

  

"Aslan," said Lucy, "you're bigger."
     "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.
     "Not because you are?"
     "I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger."
