“One can discern a few very general myths that facilitate the birth of further myths: that everything is possible; that whatever we have failed to explain in normal and earthly terms must have paranormal or supernatural explanations; and that science, being rational, cannot explain the irrational, such as taste and love.” TermBirthTasteNormalAnd LoveMythRationalExplanationParanormalIrrationalFacilitate Author:Mario Bunge
“A birth we embark on a good journey, seeking a destination of happiness. The journeys on our life-road facilitate development of our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual states-of-being, into a way of true power and wisdom. The Heart-center power, expressed as happiness and love, will guide us upward on a path away from frustration, bitter toil and travail. These journeys are directed inward, not outwardly in material mementos of ego and possession. The lesson is relearning that which has been suppressed and forgotten, in ourselves, since our earliest childhood.” WayHeartHas BeensStatesSpiritualPathOur LivesJourneyChildhoodEmotionalMaterialsDevelopmentBirthLessonsEgoAnd LoveForgottenSeekingPossessionGuidesBitterFrustrationDestinationInwardToilFacilitateHappiness And LoveTrue PowerMemento Author:R.

“To be lovingly present through the primal, naked pain that marks aspects of birth, and to be lovingly present through the difficult, heart-wrenching ending that marks aspects of death is to learn about life and love. Fear may be strong but love is stronger. Learning how to love includes learning how to make room for and transform fear. Learning how to live involves learning how to die. Love alone is the most potent power illuminating the breath's journey in between these thresholds. Love is the key. Love is the dance.” HeartMayPainDiesStrongDifficultLove IsRoomsJourneyKeysBirthAspectAnd LoveMarkStrongerBreathsNakedLife And LoveThresholdPrimalHow To LoveIlluminatingFear Of LoveAlone In LoveHeart WrenchingLearning How To Love Author:Amy Wright
