Unraveling Untruth

Listen warrior, you will be faced with an illusion and you will not know that you are within an illusion. Your task is getting yourself out of it and to return home safely.

I want old growth forests with trees so large that we can remember how to be small again. I want rivers teeming with fish and skies filled with birds. I want human beings to remember how to live in collaboration with our mother’s many other children — the plants, the animals, the fish and the fungi, the insects.

Any energy that you deny becomes a demon for you. It becomes your inner tormenter. And you don’t get rid of your demons. You embrace them. Not indulge them, but embrace them.

And if you embrace them in a way I am talking about, they no longer feel like demons. They are just energies that are available to you. They are just part of this whole spectrum of what it is to be conscious and alive and present.

And everything becomes joined together back again. A mature emotional life is when all the different parts of yourself emotionally are joined back together. Nothing is put outside, nothing is denied, nothing is hidden.
