This Week’s Quotation: The emotional body is born out of the innocent, primal flow that is natural to infants and which stays with people throughout their life at some level. This is the deep of the waters of your being. Infants don’t have to work to be in that flow. For them, it doesn’t have...

This Week’s Quotation: The person who attempts to attain enlightened awareness through human effort believes that they will know it only after they expend human effort of some kind—after they fast, meditate, read, deprive themselves, exert extreme physical effort, or pray.
