We exile ourselves. How do we do this? We take our inner nature of fire and heat and light and joy and rather than radiate outward with no capable obstacle, we turn that streaming of energy back on our selves and become an ingrown hair, an ingroan heir who no longer receives, or is, the birth right of the radiance of the cosmic splendor that is truly us. Out of fear, anger, malice, self righteousness, we develop a dense inertia and drown ourselves in waters of indulgence, pity, and scorn. A self-imposed, self-generated hell. Exile.
We shake loose, rise again and open to the eternal flame, the fire of upward spiraling spirit and once again allow the generating of radiant light and eternal joy. Home.

In the words of Bob Dylan, "right on target, so direct". Just what I needed to read this morning. Thank you. We (or at least I) learn early to direct the fire inward, and then are encouraged to do so by much of our culture. It's good to be back. Time to shine again! Much love, good brother.
