Love has no agenda …

It’s hard enough not to personalize rejection, but sexual rejection is by nature deeply personal.

When you want to have sex with somebody who’s not interested, it can hurt to the core … especially when they choose to have sex with somebody else. And the pain may be more prevalent with married people than single.

When you’re married, it’s about more than sex. You’ve already committed to one person, the very one who’s rejecting you. As a single person, let’s be honest, you may have been more hungry for sex than intimacy; and you’re free to eat elsewhere.

When we’ve shared our most private physical parts (or tried to) with somebody who just looks the other way, it can feel like we just got sucker punched. After all, before we laid ourselves out there (maybe emotionally as well), we thought we had some reason to believe that the other party was game. And even if we were more interested in meeting a physical need than an emotional one, we feel rejected. It’s personal; and it’s painful.

Peace is simply realizing that we need no defense and dropping it. We built it in survival mode, though; so dropping it takes courage. Let’s drop it anyway … stone by stone if we have to. Freedom, peace, joy, and LOVE await us.… More

Knowing this, let’s take courage and face the truth. Let’s live the truth. Let’s live free. Let’s live happy.… More

If the only way to be happy is to be true to yourself, what we really want to talk about is getting to know the self! And when we say it that way, we recognize the enormity of the task. “The essence of knowledge is self-knowledge,” said the Greek philosopher Plato.

“Know thyself,” is accepted as the corner stone on which the temples of philosophy were erected; and without the corner stone, all other knowing crumbles. It is the quest that has traveled with man from the launching of a soul until the present day. It has, from the beginning, transcended continent, race, culture, and tradition. But if the sages of every age have sought the knowing, only for the next generation to seek it again, how can we have the audacity to take on the task. How can we not?

The knowing is not knowledge that can be passed on. The knowing is uncovered only in the process of seeking it. No man has rights to it; yet all men have the right to pursue it.

How? Face the mirror. Face the expressions formed on other faces when they encounter yours. Face the pain of looking inward that you are tempted to avoid.… More

In giving up our false sense of security, we find the freedom to be who we are, the freedom to fly.… More
