I talk to groups studying the most advanced spiritual teachings and sometimes these people wonder why nothing is happening in their lives. their motive is the attainment of inner peace for themselves - which of course is a selfish motive. you will not find it with this motive. the motive, if you are to find inner peace, must be an outgoing motive. service, of course, service. giving, not getting. your motive must be good if your work is to have good effect. the secret of life is being of service.
Spiritual Selfish Teaching
There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. there are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. it doesn't work.

The movement of the waves, of winds, of the earth is ever in the same lasting harmony. we do not stand on the beach and inquire of the ocean what was its movement of the past and what will be its movement of the future. we realize that the movement peculiar to its nature is eternal to its nature. the dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the body.

So multifarious are the different classes of truths, and so multitudinous the truths in each class, that it may be undoubtingly affirmed that no man has yet lived who could so much as name all the different classes and subdivisions of truths, and far less anyone who was acquainted with all the truths belonging to any one class. what wonderful extent, what amazing variety, what collective magnificence! and if such be the number of truths pertaining to this tiny ball of earth, how must it be in the incomprehensible immensity!

Art is the child of nature; yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude, all her majestic loveliness chastened and softened and subdued into a more attractive grace, and with a human sense imbued. he is the greatest artist, then, whether of pencil or of pen, who follows nature.

Mothering has been the richest experience of my life, but i am still opposed to mother's day. it perpetuates the dangerous idea that all parents are somehow superior to non-parents.
