It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

Coming together
The more I think, the more I think these aren't two mutually exclusive ideas. After all, we'd only follow this external God if we believe in what he's teaching, and we'd only create our internal God through what we believe.
And then from there, regardless of whether the God is inside or outside, it steers us and guides us to where we're going.
I guess the only difference is how we feel about that process.
Life ei? Full of choice and options. Let's have some fun :)

quote is nelson mandela
That's what the website said but I understand that Mandela denies ever having said it. One of things that's been wrongly attributed to someone and just never been corrected.
