“Become one who can give everyone what they need, because there is so much need. And become one who can fully receive, so that you can become a fountain of love and give everyone what they need.” Kathleen Hanagan

After a long week of seeing clients, last night, I found myself saying these words over and over: we must make meaning of our lives. Beside the fact that I have taken to speaking for a collective “we” even in my private thoughts, possibly a result of my stage of life, what I found myself saying made sense—-to me—after sitting with one person after the other who could not make meaning of their lives.
I recently reread some of Paul Levy’s penetrating teaching on how to break the trance of evil, In his book Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil, Levy shows us that within the very force that can destroy us lies the hope of what can save our world at this time. Levy describes wetiko as a non-local, transcendental force that cannot be adequately expressed in language, because it is not a thing. The abstract nature of the English language fails to account for such dynamic forces as wetiko that affect us all the time yet are not visible or measurable.
If you surrender by going with the flow, you always end up exactly where you belong. It is the method of letting things flow naturally in whatever way they like. There is no past, no future; everything flows in an eternal present, and there is nowhere to go and nothing to do in this meditative state.
