“If your primary focus is to get over your health problems or get past a relationship crisis so that you can return to your former life and old patterns- that is, get back to business as usual-you are not really living. The distinction is paradoxical and sometimes subtle. It's the difference between walking through your life on your way to somewhere, and walking as your life. Even if you believe that where you want to get is extremely important, that destination is secondary. Your immediate experience is what really matters. It is your life.” IfsWayWantLifeBelieveImportantSometimesMatterProblemPastDifferencesFocusReturnWalkingCrisisPatternsFormerPrimariesDistinctionSubtleOver YouDestinationGet BackUsualGet OverIf You BelieveParadoxicalHealth ProblemsReally LivingFormer Life Author:Richard Moss

“I believe that patterns tend to repeat themselves and there are connections between the past and the present. There is the old proverb that reads, You cant know where youre going if you dont know where youve been. For me, history is like that. When you take history and combine it with myth, then you get mystery.” IfsKnowsBelievePastI BelieveMysteryConnectionsPatternsMythRepeatsCantOld Proverb Author:Ashwin Sanghi
