Paracelsus (I) by Robert Browning
TRUTH is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, whate’er you may believe.
There is an inmost centre in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness; and around,
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh hems it in,
This perfect, clear perception—which is truth.
A baffling and perverting carnal mesh
Binds it, and makes all error: and, to KNOW,
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendour may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.
Today will be full of opportunities for you to release the splendor within you. You needn’t learn more, experience more or know more. You are sufficiently prepared to let it be so!
Gregory Hake 
Every day we have the same opportunity to let the truth be translated accurately from our inmost center to our outward world. Every day that we open our eyes we have that same opportunity. Progress is made by increasing the accuracy of that translation.

Yes our job is to create splendor through ourselves making magnificent our worlds. It great to acknowledge the inherent potential and actualization through ourselves.

While we can’t force the imprisoned qualities of light to emerge, we can find contact points that draw them out. Sometimes those points may seem small or inadequate, but they are the starting points, functional symbols that may allow a flow to be initiated. It has always seemed to me that the exceptional people are those who see viable contact points, starting points, where others see only limitation and barriers.

Here’s something that caught my attention when I learned the definition of education.
“Education…is derived from the Latin educare, literally translated as “to bring out of” or “to lead forth”. Therefore when we educate people, if we use the word seriously, we do not stuff something new into their minds; rather we lead this something out of them; we bring it forth from the unconscious into their awareness.”

Thank you for that reminder! If we can see each day as a completely new opportunity, leaving the baggage of the past (regrets, grudges, judgement, fear) then who knows what the future of today will hold – sounds exciting!

It is completely up to me to see that this happens for me. Thanks for the encouragement!
