Someone asked me the other day about missing Flight 370. I told her I didn't know what was true. As I see it, it has become more and more difficult to determine fact from fiction, truth from disinformation. Of course there are some things of which I am fairly certain, mostly that we have been lied to throughout our lives. Almost nothing in this world is as it seems or as we've been told it is. Lies permeate our entire human culture. In the midst of this overwhelming confusion, I believe we are being drawn to re-examine everything: especially who and what we are. I know this is true for me. I'm being asked to adopt a beginner's mind and, as much as possible to explore life from a place of innocence, from a place of not knowing or even pretending I know the answers. To do this, I am asked to trust a higher part of myself that has been more latent than active throughout my life, to humble myself by admitting that I do not know the answers or how to find the solutions to the dilemmas I face personally and witness at the collective level.
