Too Much Sanity
Stay in your body. The silence is in your body. It’s not out there. It’s in your body. Stay in your body, and you’ll be surprised what happens. To really become immersed in the silence, you need to free your body — purify your body of the past. Only then will there be silence. And that silence is overwhelming, it’s indescribably beautiful. You don’t come in and out of it — it’s always there. It’s all one. There’s no two. It’s all one.”
– The Silent Body, Linda Clair

The invaders didn’t understand what they were doing, but they were spiritually responsible for their acts of genocide. They were pathologically paranoid, and could not tolerate the existence of people who thought in a different way. They were empty, lost, and afraid. They had forgotten what it meant to be human beings.
Our power resides in our connection to the Earth, our ability to think clearly, and our refusal to believe the illusions and deceptions of the oppressors. The foundation of our power is caring, respect, and responsibility. Learning is the path to healing, and learning begins with clear and coherent thinking. No medicine is more powerful than intelligence — if intelligence is used intelligently.
