From the Winter Gathering in Sweden

Dearest humble friends,

I am awed by each and every one of you. Thank you for your demonstration of humility and power in sharing so openly these last days. Sharing data normalises all data for all of us, removes its power as something to be afraid of, something separate or apart from benfit itself. I see so clearly for myself that the more I open up about these taboo topics of money, shame, wanting to be selfish, unworthiness, suicidal thoughts, desire, sex, loneliness, fear of rejection and all raging afflictions, the more I am a free and powerful to really be in full relationship with these data without fearing them or fighting them.

For me this week has been such a potent and tangible teaching of the direct reflection of our personal relationship of ourselves and our data, myself with myself, and the relationship of all people with each other and the world. It could not be more obvious how fighting and fearing our own data, judgment, avoidance and disempowerment of ourselves is the root of all fear and fighting, judgment, disempowerment and avoidance in our world.

It is time we as a people stood up and avoided nothing, got real about the mess our world is in, and got real about our own power as individuals to make a difference. I don’t want to avoid my power, I want to nurture it. There is nothing I want more in my life than to be of the most potent and far reaching benefit I can be with my body, mind, speech, qualities and activities. All aspects of myself and my data are devoted to this. I couldn’t do it without the support of the Four Mainstays, and for you all, I am so eternally grateful. You give me my life, and I love it.

I love you
