Umbrella, light, landscape, sky- there is no language of the holy. The sacred lies in the ordinary. – Deng Ming-Dao
As opposed to suggesting something mostly outside of ourselves, such as studying research, a special 10-day retreat, or some expensive seminar, I believe that if we know how to we can learn the most important lessons life has to teach us from ourselves, in our everyday lives. And I believe this way of learning is much more effective.
Guidance is powerful, even necessary at times, but ultimately we learn the best and most valuable insights from our own life experiences (which is why the best guidance helps us become a lamp unto ourselves). So then what better place to learn than our regular, normal, everyday lives? If we can learn to do this, the possibilities are endless.
