The daily history of the Intellect is an alternating of expansions and concentrations. The expansions are the invitations from heaven to try a larger sweep, a higher pitch than we have yet climbed, and to leave all our past for this enlarged scope.

The contractions would seem to be hurts, injustices, the injuries that wound and limit us. But when we meet them with an open heart, saying YES to all that comes to us, they are not contractions but the invitations to live life more fully and deeply. There is no event that can wound us once we know this. We can be changed, but not harmed. Harm comes from contradiction, from pulling away, from saying no. When we say no, we are vulnerable. This is when we can be hurt, when we can hurt others. Opening toward the ever-present YES allows us to expand into the challenge, to see it as it really is - an invitation to leave the past for an enlarged future.
