The Peace Challenge for September is:

post a quotation that will bring peace to the world.

The Dalai Lama says:

There are no strangers – only friends you haven’t met yet.

Understand Myself as a Key to Awakening

by
Dear Friends,
Some of you may remember this post from the beginning of the year, however many new readers have joined Heartflow since then. One dear friend, Eleanor, mentioned how much she appreciates this post and that moved me to re-read it myself and to post it today again.

When I can understand myself I have the key that will help me to understand the world. To understand myself I enter into an exploration of what it is that I understand unconditionally and unequivocally. I also want to be clear about what I mean when I say that I understand.
