Awakening Into Love Is A Lifelong Path.

Healing From Our Past Is An Essential Aspect Of Expanding Our Sense Of Self And Awakening Our Capacity To Love. This Shift Often Manifests As A Change In The Questions We've Been Asking Ourselves. Instead Of What Do I Need? We Ask, How Can I Serve? Instead Of What Am I Getting Out Of This? We Start To Ask, What Can I Bring To This Situation To Promote The Highest Possible Outcome For Everyone Involved?

I'm Making A Lot Of Money. I Should Be Paying A Lot More Taxes. I'm Not Paying Taxes At A Rate That Is Even Close To What People Were Paying Under Eisenhower. Do People Think America Wasn't Ascendant And Wasn't An Upwardly Mobile Society Under Eisenhower In The '50s? Nobody Was Looking At The Country Then And Thinking To Themselves, "we're Taxing Ourselves Into Oblivion." Yet There Isn't A Politician With Balls Enough To Tell That Truth Because The Whole System Has Been Muddied By The Rich. It's Been Purchased.

The Rest Of America, With Some Small Exceptions, Has Been Bulldozed And Rebuilt And Then Bulldozed And Rebuilt Again. Our Places Have Become Interchangeable. Here In New Orleans, Everything From The Architecture To The Way In Which People Eat, The Way In Which They Talk, The Way In Which They Do Business, The Way In Which They Dance, The Manner In Which Everything Is Set To A Parade Beat, They're All From Here. There's No Place Like It.

It's Been Said That No Man Is A Hero To A Newspaperman, And I Spent Too Many Years As An Ink-stained Wretch.

The Best #‎ Gift We Can Give In Any Interaction Is To Leave People Feeling Lighter, #‎ Happier , And More At #‎ Peace .
