We already have it!

Do you feel that your life is lacking? Have you despaired that you will never transcend the need for less than constructive habits? Well, Donna Farhi has encouragement. She tells us in her book, Yoga, Body Mind, and Spirit, that we have everything within us that we need to heal ourselves and embody our highest ideals. Thich Nhat Hanh says the same in his book, Understanding Our Mind. According to him, we have seeds, or bija, within us for any possibility. What we manifest is a result of the seeds we cultivate, the seeds we water and fertilize. So farm the good by eating well, practicing earnestly, and loving yourself. This is the best resolution you can make in the new year, along with reading up on these accomplished writers and practitioners. There is an obvious connection between Castle's ideas and those of Farhi's. No doubt the juxtaposition of these readings was by the design of our brilliant teachers. I have more to say about Farhi but will save it for another post. At this point, the thing that I really want to sink in is that we are ALL, each one of us, already perfect. We have only to apprehend it.
