This is a big topic. But it’s Friday, and as you know, Fridays we go for broke in terms of pure soul content. Western spirituality is great at helping us to identify our wounds and ‘isms. After enough therapy we can honorably say, “I’m neurotic because of my mother,” or “I’m a bit selfish because I didn’t get enough attention as a child.” But identifying the source of your shit is only half the journey.

What if a really hip and glowing angel emerged from your computer screen right this second and said, “You are what you want to be from this day forward, and we’ll just forget about all the times you were less than your best, and the understandably manipulative ways you’ve tried to love and be loved.” So…
