“The more two people open to each other, the more this wide-openness also brings to the surface all the obstacles to it: their deepest, darkest wounds, their desperation and mistrust, and their rawest emotional trigger points. Just as the sun's warmth causes clouds to arise by prompting the earth to release its moisture, so love's pure openness activates the thick clouds of our emotional wounding, the tight places where we are shut down, where we live in fear and resist love.” PeopleTwoEarthCausesFearSunEmotionalPureCloudsObstaclesWideSurfaceWoundsAriseReleaseOpennessWarmthThickDesperationTriggersMistrustPerfect LoveActivateMoisture Author:John Welwood

“At any moment, whatever we are experiencing, only one of two things is ever happening: either we are being with what is, or else we are resisting what is. Being with what is means letting ourselves have and feel our experience, just as it is right now. ... This is where genuine creativity, health, and communication, as well as spiritual power, arise from.” FeelsWellsMeanTwoMomentsSpiritualCreativityCommunicationRight NowHappeningsGenuineAriseTwo ThingsResistingSpiritual Power Author:John Welwood
