The real thing

The great wisdom traditions agree that:
Tools

Have you ever thought of yourself as part of a living tool box?
Choice

We have more choices and decisions to make in a day than any other humans in the history of the species.
Forgiveness

Forgiveness is hard.
Allegiances

Play

If you are playing a game you can never win, why not stop?
The artist and the art

The biggest, most important task we can undertake is that of becoming our true self.
The grand vision

Anxiety
