| BkVII:5.I.3 | The path of being sets aside the belief that you are not responsible for what you feel, think, and experience. You assume full responsibility for your mental processes and for what your heart feels. You are also aware that you have the ability to choose. Consequently you accept the directions you have chosen and that not all of them gave you happiness, although some did. You no longer seek to convince yourself that the life you lived was wonderful and the world is a paradise, when in fact you know it is not, even though it can be transformed by love. |
