Preaching

Before you begin to preach, understand that your cleverness and beliefs on the level of mental concept and ideas only contribute to the strength of that level. It may give you social power, the ability to convince, to manipulate, to control. Yet this kind of strengthening denies and usurps all of the rest of you- all of the parts of you that are not oriented towards thinking and goal-making, winning, attacking. You are not one specific thing. When you act, be absolutely sure that your actions are healing actions that are a result of all of the parts of you experiencing life and relating to each other. This distributed attention to all of the parts of yourself allows the proper action to emerge as a result of your internal balancing. Being clever is not the same as being Alive. You might not become a millionaire politian living life in this way, but you begin to heal yourself and others through all of the modalities in which you interact with people. This is the secret of alchemy, you turn every action, every experience of life into "gold."
