Seeing With New Eyes

From: Coming Back to Life

$3.40

We move into the next stage of the Spiral as we realize from personal experience that it is from our connectivity that our pain for the world arises. The very distress that, when we hid it, seemed to separate us from other people, now uncovers our connective tissue. This realization, whether it comes in a flash of insight or a gradual dawning, is a turning point. We shift to a new way of seeing ourselves in relation to our world and a new way of understanding our power.
