The only way out is through, and the only way through is IN

"We must accept that if we are born into this world and have become "normal" citizens of our communities, then there is a storm raging within us. This is because what is accepted as normality in this world is a state of quiet desperation. As much as we might like to deny its existence, this controlled and sedated inner storm cannot be hidden. By gazing across the planet we can see the outer casualties of this inner condition everywhere. It is the storm of duality. It is the war between authenticity and the inauthentic. It is the great divide between Presence and pretence. It is the vast canyon of fear, anger, and grief between the adult and the child self. If we seek real peace, then we must enter this storm willingly and consciously. We do not have to take up the issues of the outer world to enter this storm because the doorway into its chaos is within each of us."
