CROSSROADS -- CHOOSING OUR WAY

Well, certainly grave dangers lie ahead. But there is also light at the end of the tunnel. And it is towards that light we are ultimately headed. To find that light we must look beyond the many crises now facing us and investigate their underlying cause. Why does humanity continue to behave in ways that are clearly not in its best interest? Is there something wrong with us?


LIGHT WON’T COME TO YOU… YOU NEED TO MOVE !!!

"I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light -- truth, understanding, knowledge -- is there, and it will only shine in many dark places if I reflect it."

-- Alexander Papaderosby

Looking for the self is rather like being in a room at night with only a flashlight, looking for the source of the light. All you would find would be the various objects in the room that the light fell upon. It is the same when we try to look for the self which is the subject of all experience. All we find are the various ideas, images, and feelings that the attention falls upon. But these are all objects of experience; they cannot therefore be the subject of the experience. For this reason, the self cannot be known in the way that anything else is known.

"No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it."

-- Albert Einstein
