"Each of us make our own true way, and when we do, that way will express the universal."
-- Suzuki Roshi
There is a beautiful synergy between the individual and the Universal. It's simple: You, as an individual, are a unique manifestation of the Universal, you are a one-and-only phenomenon whose unfolding the Universe naturally and wholly supports.
But to receive that support, you must discover and express your true self, your true way in the world. The universe doesn't cotton to phonies. You can't fake a true self, you can't follow the road most traveled and expect to arrive at your unique destination.
When you meet a person whose nailed it, who is easily and naturally living both individually and universally simultaneously, you not only see them in exquisite detail, you also see through them to the Great Beyond. The more they go about living in their own, idiosyncratic way, the more they express life's universal principles.
You can, too. Just don't be too swayed by popular opinion, television commercials, out-of-touch clergy, and well meaning, but clueless, friends and family. Look within. Feel without. Intuition, not billboards, scripture or Internet chat rooms, will guide you to your own true way.
You and the Universe -- together forever. Tune in and drop in. And, as always, enjoy!
