“Beingness, doingness and havingness are like a triangle where each side supports the others. They are not in conflict with each other. They all exist simultaneously. Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: They try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.”

Only then will we have a chance to negate the terrible consequences of the tremendous conflicts facing humankind today.”

This orchestration comes from the very top of the Administration and has pushed America into a corner.
