Newness

What if we thought about many traditional teachings in terms of what they point to rather than as immutable dogmas? It's possible that we've rejected a teaching because at some point it was presented to us as a big "have to" and all along we've been missing a deeper more powerful meaning:
The great metaphors from all spiritual traditions - grace, liberation, being born again, awakening from illusion - testify that it is possible to transcend the conditioning of my past and do a new thing.
- Sam Keen
