"It is the essence of the Divine Mother to birth the universe out of her love for the creation she visualizes. From the womb of Mother Divine emerge time and space, form and phenomena. Everything we hear, feel, see, taste, and smell, along with our sensory faculties and mind, is the offspring of the sacred feminine."
--by Dr. David Simon from the May issue of "Namaste", the Chopra Center online newsletter
Understanding - I go beyond the illusion of separation and see the unity behind all diversity. At the deepest level, we are all aspects of the same infinite Being in different disguises. Instead of imposing, I communicate and seek to understand.
Patience - Rather than forcing an answer or solution, I have patience and wait for the solution to emerge. In this willingness to accept uncertainty, answers spontaneously emerge from the confusion and chaos of any situation.
Compassion - Instead of ignoring or supressing emotions, I pay attention to the emotions and signals of my body and can tell when someone else is ready to listen and act. I allow love and compassion to guide me.
Peace - I am peaceful and allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. No situation ever requires force. I accept each moment as it is, knowing that the whole universe is as it should be.
Creativity - I create solutions where none were seen before. I know that I have the ability to fulfill all my dreams because my essential nature is pure potentiality.
Wisdom - I am wise. I see the cosmic perspective, which always comes from love. I live from the domain of spirit, which asks "How can I help, how can I serve?"
