“The most significant way in which you may consciously apply your new understanding is to be the cause of your experience, not at the effect of it. And know that you do not have to create the opposite of who you are in your personal space or personal experience in order to know and experience who you really are, and who you choose to be.”
The fires are getting closer. Paradise seems to be full of them. A California fire map of the moment makes it look like the whole state is on fire. I think this is my first time to be aware of the summer season of the forests. Many have evacuated. I'm still here with a group determined to stay at least till the last minute. Call us crazy if you want. Our surroundings were already burned down not long ago - leaving not much for the fire to catch on on the way here. Being the cause of my experience leaves little place for drowning in fear. Much love.
