“You don't learn on the mountaintop. You learn in the crucible.”

Crucible

Sometimes when you’re in a dark place, you think you’ve been buried. But actually, you’ve been planted.

It’s a tragedy that life is taken so seriously. This is a result in the belief that we are limited, we are in danger, and that consciousness comes to an end.

"Until you can find the place in yourself that can be at peace without having what you want, then you are in the optimum position to get what you want. Because until then, your need for it is creating something in everybody you meet that is reducing the potential of that relationship to be meeting a true being of spirit in the right place."

—Ram Dass
