Liberation is the aliveness and immediacy beyond belief.
Liberation is when all the answers,
explanations and positions disappear,
and what remains is
the open mind of not knowing.

”There has never been a separate person to get enlightened.
And however many times the mirage of encapsulation appears,
it is always only a mirage.
And it isn’t “me” who wakes up from this mirage
because “me” is the mirage!
In fact, it isn’t “me” who does anything.”

The notion of royalty necessarily goes hand in hand with that of self-mastery.
A monarch who only seeks to impose on others
but has not learned to control themself
is not really a king or queen, but a slave.
A true monarch is someone
who first and foremost has become master of themself.

A true monarch is someone

Only a person committed to the ideal of overcoming
the domination of their selfish tendencies
and to control and orientate their thoughts,
feelings and desires, is on the royal road.
They inspire respect from all those who come near them
because they have not only power but also authority.
And then, even the spirits of nature bow at their passing,
whispering among themselves,
‘Look, a king or queen will be passing by, let’s go and welcome them,’
and they celebrate.

The nature spirits crowd around them because
their whole being emanates a fluidic substance of great purity,
imbued with soothing and curative influences,
felt even by animals, plants and stones.

Therapeutic Companionship
Matt Licata
Beyond all the theories, conflicting approaches, interventions, and strategies,
for me therapeutic companionship is a process
of bearing witness to the life of another
as they come to befriend themselves
in a way that was not possible until now.
To excavate meaning where there was none,
to find purpose in the core of the purposelessness,
breath where there was no breath to be found.

To excavate meaning where there was none,

breath where there was no breath to be found.
This befriending is not ordinary or passive, not always flowing and peaceful.
It is fierce, on fire, and an act of revolution.
It is the light shining out of the core of the dark night,
the outrageousness of the human spirit,
and the basic goodness of the human heart.

To walk into the dark wood, into the disorienting and hopeless places,
without knowing where the journey will lead,
if we will make it out in one piece, or where new life will be found.
Making sense together of where they have been,
who they see themselves to be, and what they are longing to become.
To illuminate what matters most to them and cradle it in our shared heart.
To help them gather the pieces of the broken world.

To proclaim their experience as utterly valid,
their feelings as ragingly honorable and intelligent,
that they are worthy of love as they are.
That despite the pain of the present,
the traumas of the past,
and the fragmented dreams of the future
we will dare to reclaim the aspects, parts, and pieces
of the soul that have been turned from,
now longing to return home.

We will assert together that pain is not pathology,
that they need not be "cured" in order for us to stay near,
that their suffering is authentic,
that their hopelessness well-founded.
Even their doubt is holy when allowed into the inner sanctum.
What they are is not some project to be improved,
but a mystery to be lived.

And then, from that foundation of companionship
and bearing witness to the sacredness of what a human being truly is
—including the profound grief, despair, and moments of great joy--
we are able to turn together into the unknown
and bow before its immensity.

It is awesome,
in the truest sense of the word,
to bear witness in this way.
To fall to the ground in the beholding of God in action,
of the unstoppable wild bravery of the human spirit,
and the relentlessness and creativity of love
as it makes its way into form.
