Do not follow the ideas of others,
but learn to listen to the voice within yourself.
Your body and mind will become clear
and you will realize the unity of all things.
The Buddha meditated for six years,
Bodhidharma for nine.
The practice of meditation is not a method for the attainment of realization—it is enlightenment itself.

From The Heroine's Journey by Maureen Murdock
The dragons that jealously guard the myth of dependency, the myth of female inferiority, and the myth of romantic love are fearsome opponents. This is not a journey for cowards, it take enormous courage to plumb one's depths.
