"Try to see self in the other's place. And this will bring the basic spiritual forces that must be the prompting influence in the experience of each soul, if it would grow in grace, in knowledge, in understanding; not only of its relationship to God, its relationship to its fellow man, but its relationship in the home and in the social life."
Edgar Cayce reading 2936-2

Gilles, 1719, Jean-Antoine Watteau
To be owned by one's true self, end of the individuation process
“Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything—not just wealth. All the bullshit he’s been taught—all society’s brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren’t willing to do that.”

孔德之容,唯道是從。
道之為物,唯恍唯惚。
忽兮恍兮,其中有象;恍兮忽兮,其中有物。
窈兮冥兮,其中有精;其精甚真,其中有信。
自古及今,其名不去,以閱衆甫。
吾何以知衆甫之狀哉?以此。
21 [The empty heart, or the Dao in its operation]
The Great Virtue is to follow the Tao and only the Tao. The Tao is shadowy and intangible. Intangible and evasive, and yet within it is a form. Evasive and intangible, and yet within it is a substance. Shadowy and dark, and yet within it is a vital force. This vital force is real and can be relied upon. From ancient times to the present the Tao's instructions have not been forgotten. Through it can be perceived the beginning of the story of life. How do I know how it was at the beginning of the story of life? Because of what is within me.
“For movement is the effect of spirit.
Spirit is life."
Edgar Cayce reading 705-2
"Some wicked men are rich, some good are poor, We will not change our virtue for their store: Virtue's a thing that none can take away; But money changes owners all the day."
