Risk.... >>To create is to risk. To discover is to risk. To build is to risk. To live life is to risk. The self and healthy ego thrives on risk. Your New Age (read "old ideas repackaged") "philosophy" cannot encompass this. I'm afraid you don't know what you are talking about... The self/ego doesn't want to risk.>> The vast majority of people who enter into relationships want to have it both ways - ie. if I get what "I" want then it's Ok and if I don't get what "I" want I move on. This isn't risk. Real risk is when the focus shifts away from "I" toward others with zero expectation for getting anything in return. Try thinking about this. Better yet, try living like this. Then decide in the name and spirit of "others" if you think "I" know what I'm talking about. For anything "I" say doesn't matter a crock. And anything you say about "me" falls into the same cracks. It's what we do, how we love - ie. elevate, give, reflect as we radiate energy and light and hope to others. And it's all pretty simple which is why is so hard to fathom. Get away from the words and get into actions which embrace real risk and become the embodiment of love. Everything else is just a bunch of fuzzy, confusing stuff designed to attract attention. This amounts to nothing more than just taking and reshuffling a fixed amount of energy which we are taking from others as we attempt to put down others to advance our personal sense of importance or cause. Risk, light, love, joy, hope, trust. It's all one beam of light. Nothing else matters. Peace. GO!!
