The way we grow is by following an internal sense of what is right or wrong for us, by being guided by our internal compass: our organismic valuing process. We don't have to learn, even infants know it from the beginning. If you want to see this in its purest sense, look at very small children: at that age, nobody has told them how they should feel ( Read more... )

"I'll sit at the edge of the water, dangle my toes in just far enough and long enough to get chilly, and then I'll jump in, only coming out when my lips have turned a shade past eggplant. Trembling on the bank, peering up through the weather-beaten trees, I blink and the image is gone. A sunny day from the past, a glimpse of something real, ( Read more... )
