Margaret Paul:
“Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to yourself and others. A spiritual person cares about people, animals and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all One, and consciously attempts to honor this Oneness. A spiritual person is a kind person”

“If we actually analyze the word, we note that the Latin root humilis comes from humus, or rather that it is proper to the earth. The humble person is the one who maintains contact with the earth, with reality, who keeps his feet on the ground. Remembering his own roots, he will not be deceived by the Pindaric flights of the mind, often driven by unresolved unconscious wounds.”

Goldmund:
“I believe . . . that the petal of a flower or a tiny worm on the path says far more, contains far more than all the books in the library. One cannot say very much with mere letters and words. Sometimes I’ll be writing a Greek letter, a theta or an omega, and tilt my pen just the slightest bit; suddenly the letter has a tail and becomes a fish; in a second it evokes all the streams and rivers of the world, all that is cool and humid, Homer’s sea and the waters on which Saint Peter wandered; or becomes a bird, flaps its tail, shakes out its feathers, puffs itself up, laughs, flies away. You probably don’t appreciate letters like that, very much, do you, Narcissus? But I say: with them God wrote the world.

NO SPIRITUAL BYPASSING - CA DX
When I got the news that I had cancer, I laughed to myself. I laughed at all the spiritual teachers and friends I have met over the years who have passed judgement on people who suffer illnesses like cancer or autoimmune. I laughed at Louise Hay, founder of Hay House, and author of You Can Heal Your Life. I laughed because I knew, in that moment, that all of my self-development and spiritual learnings were made for this moment.
I knew I wasn’t going to heal this with a vegan diet, or sound heal and mantra the cancer out; I knew there was nothing I had in my spiritual back pocket that I hadn’t already been doing. I ate the food, listened to the sound healing, drank all the spiritual “Kool-Aid,” and still my cells teamed up and had an estrogen party in my uterus and cervix. I knew when they said cancer that only one thing was going to get me out of the bind I was in—if I wanted to remain on planet Earth for as long as I hope to.
I had to surrender to my cause, have the surgery, do the chemo and radiation that goes against everything I believe in from a health perspective, but that I know works because I have friends thriving and getting to do life because they did it. I chose in a moment to go all-in on staying alive for my family no matter what.
I am putting my faith in science, and I am backing that faith up with the science of every holistic healing modality known to women because I am both, and.
Back to the vaccine.

A Exploring the earth, water, fire, and air elements helps us to see that our physical selves are neither static nor separate from the world around us, but are instead an ever-changing and dynamic part of that world. Exploring these elements reveals that what we call the body is simply the universe flowing through itself, just as an eddy in a river is simply water dancing within water.
Exploring the space element reveals to us how our sense of separateness is, as Einstein put it, “an optical illusion of consciousness.” Reflecting on the space element we can begin to see that there is no us “in here” that is distinct from a world “out there.”
Exploring the consciousness element helps us to recognize the processes that cause us to create a sense of separateness, so that we can further let go of our dualistic sense of there being a separate self and other. Having done that we can simply *be* — resting calm, spacious, compassionate, and free.

B PLEASURES OF FORM
PLEASURE OF BREATH
pleasures of form refer to the pleasure we get from meditation up to the 4th jhana. After the 4th jhana there are formless spheres and Nibbana is beyond form and formless.
