“Were in a freefall into future. We dont know where were going. Things are changing so fast, and always when youre going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. Its a very interesting shift of perspective and thats all it is... joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes.” ― Joseph Campbell It appears that Life just happens to us. But I must admit, Im not fond of the idea that Im a victim of anything. Though it may appear that things are happening without our consent, there is always another possibility (there always is)--there is the possibility that this life, your life, is a voluntary adventure. Maybe this life we are living had our full consent before we ever arrived in this physical body. No one can know for sure--no one can gather physical proof of one view over the other, but I know which one feels better to me. In fact, it feels so good, that I dont much care what the truth really is, because being a victim is a powerless position, and volunteering to have an adventure because you see incredible value in it is a very powerful position--it is, in essence, turning a free-fall into a dive; one psychological shift that can change every day of your life from this point forward...
