If you can disentangle
yourself from your selfish self
all heavenly spirits
will stand ready to serve you

if you can finally hunt down
your own beastly self
you have the right
to claim Solomon's kingdom

you are that blessed soul who
belongs to the garden of paradise
is it fair to let yourself
fall apart in a shattered house

you are the bird of happiness
in the magic of existence
what a pity when you let
yourself be chained and caged

but if you can break free
from this dark prison named body
soon you will see
you are the sage and the fountain of life~Rumi

Join us for frank and open discussion on what it means to live a life of looking for answers.

Beliefs underlie most of our perspectives and are at the center of our self identity. In this session we will explore our beliefs, both overt and hidden, in a relaxed format.

We will be meeting at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Conference Room 1 this time from 7:05-8:30 PM.

Sages say a man was chased by a tiger,
Finally clinging to a root above a canyon.
As mice chewed his handhold, he ate a luscious berry.
Why?
Let go of that root,
No need to wait for mice,
The berry is as empty as air.

To live life fully you must study the self that lives. We can see the beauty in the grime of battle or make a sunset into a bore. To study the self, you must first gain some control over it. You must be able to focus upon a difficult subject. You must redirect your energy from its outward direction. You must conserve, focus, and use your mental and physical energy to discover the false aspects of your self -- to continually refine your self-definition.

We will be meeting for our bi-weekly discussion at the Columbus Metropolitan Library Conference Room 1 this time from 7:05-8:30 PM.

Look Within

My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet you will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you'll fail.

My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?

If you want to know me,
look inside your heart.
~ Tao Te Ching
