“Any moment of clarity undisturbed by the tensions of JUDGING, or PREFERRING or REJECTING or DESIRING is a moment of freedom” (Sylvia Boorstein)
Indeed why complicate my life with judging, preferring, rejecting, desiring. According to Neale Walsch: “The point of life is not to get anywhere – it is to notice that you are and have always been already there. There is no such thing as an incorrect path”
My belief is that everybody has his/her own pathway to go back to Source. That being the case why should I waste my time judging, preferring, rejecting, desiring. So I can’t blame anybody for choosing his way just as I make my own choices.

“I am totally convinced that suffering arises when I struggle with events in my life that I cannot change yet from time to time I persist in the struggle.” (Sylvia Boorstein)
