Being truthful to myself and others is important. If I am not then I become enslaved to something outside of love. I learn all that makes me whom I am through honest, sometimes critical, introspection. My thoughts and actions don’t frighten me or cause me guilt because I explore them until I understand who I am.

When still a child, I was told I should not think certain ideas. I thought them anyway. I learned that through contrast truth became evident. I have the ability to apply my energies, both hot and cold, toward evil or good actions. It is my choice to decide how I use these energies and my responsibility to create a harmonization of my personal characteristics.

It's through these experiences that I learn proper blends of energy (cold and hot) to use so that my actions may be good and hopeful. These are the characteristics I want to nurture and contribute to humanity.
