You can do it like it’s a great weight on you, or you can do it like it’s part of the dance.

…One of the illusions that affect the human mind is that life exists only on the surface of the Earth. This illusionary belief is responsible for humanity’s limitation in connecting to the planet’s whole being and becoming co-creators. Humans are called to understand that the whole planet is a living being; the core of Earth has created the different layers and outer parts and the life flow is uniting all physical life and energy points on the planet. For human beings to become co-creators with Earth, they have to experience the power of the core that creates life on Earth.

It is easy to mourn the lives we aren’t living. Easy to wish we’d developed other talents, said yes to different offers. Easy to wish we’d worked harder, loved better, handled our finances more astutely, been more popular, stayed in the band, gone to Australia, said yes to the coffee or done more bloody yoga…

But it is not lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It’s the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people’s worst enemy.
