Pointing To The Moon

What is Our Purpose?

What is our eternal purpose and what is our “marketplace” purpose? After all, enlightenment, God and awakening are of no consequence without other people.

So the question is not a choice between an old model and a new one. It’s realizing that everyone who ever walked the road to God or truth throughout history, had to come to this same question and answer it as best they could from their own undeniable heart. What does your heart tell you to do? And can you trust your heart? Have you done enough work on your past wounding so that your heart shines within you because it is free to be in the present? What will you and I do with our time here? This is the question before us: How will we deal with the suffering within ourselves and which we see all around us? - from interview with Jason Shulman, author of ‘The Instruction Manual for Receiving God’

Do Not Be Daunted

My mind was blown by this past weekend's "Mysticism & Global Transformation" event. And I stumble on this today. How apropos.

"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief.
Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now.
You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither
are you free to abandon it." - from the Talmud
