Jeff Brown Quote
Too many of us move through our lives with our true selves buried below layers of repressed emotion. With so much energy channeled toward sustaining the repression, there is little left over for the deeper questions. The consequences of our evasion are profound. Our stockpiles toxify into a cache of weapons that turn inward against the self: quick fix, long suffering. As Rumi said, Most people guard against the fire, and so end up in it. This is the power of then. If we don’t deal with our stuff, it deals with us.
