Our interconnectedness, however you personally conceptualize it, has the potential of being our greatest ally, and it is crucial that we use it mindfully.
Not to bypass the anti-racism and anti-oppression work that needs to be done to operate from this truth, but to use the power of spiritual work and focussed intention to move mountains and create lasting change.
We are, at our core – ONE.
When we work from within, connecting with our inner knowing, we become our own medicine.
When we evolve our individual well-being, we nurture the health of the whole.
We are mirrors to the world we are creating.
How can we use the creative power of our consciousness to generate wise action and restore faith for our future?

The relentless search for high self-esteem has become a virtual religionbook-self-compassion.jpg; and a tyrannical one at that. Our competitive culture tells us we need to be special and above average to feel good about ourselves, but we can’t all be above average at the same time. There is always someone richer, more attractive, or successful than we are. And even when we do manage to feel self-esteem for one golden moment, we can’t hold on to it. Our sense of self-worth bounces around like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lock-step with our latest success or failure.
Fortunately, there is an alternative to self-esteem that many psychologists believe is a better and more effective path to happiness: self-compassion. The research of Dr. Kristin Neff and others strongly suggests that people who are more self-compassionate lead healthier, more productive lives than those who are self-critical. And the feelings of security and self-worth provided by self-compassion are highly stable. Self-compassion steps in precisely when we fall down, allowing us to get up and try again.

In undertaking a spiritual life, we must make certain that our path is conbook-a-path-with-heart.jpgnected with our heart. Since 1974 (long before it gained popularity in the 1990s), Jack has been teaching westerners how to integrate Eastern teaching into their daily lives. Through generous storytelling and unmitigated warmth, Jack offers this guidebook on living with attentiveness, meditation, and full-tilt compassion.
Part of what makes this book so accessible is Jack’s use of everyday metaphors to describe the elusive lessons of spiritual transformation. For example, he opens with “the one seat” lesson taught to him by his esteemed teacher. Literally it means sitting in the center of a room and not being swayed or moved by all the people and dramas happening around you. On a spiritual level it means sticking “with one practice and teacher among all of the possibilities,” he writes; “inwardly it means having the determination to stick with that practice through whatever difficulties and doubts arise until you have come to true clarity and understanding.” The same could be said for this “one book.” Among all the spiritual self-help books, this is a classic worth sticking with and returning to–a highly approachable teacher that can only lead to greater clarity and understanding.
