"You have put yourself under the guidance and control of an all powerful being."
from Unshakable Faith by Swami Ramdas
I have accepted that I am... and am not... the boss of me. This all powerful being has sometimes felt to me like a fickle and stern task-master... a demanding and male father figure. He is some blend of Michelangelo's muscular God, Dad's stern gaze, and a mor authentic deep intuition.
