"It's in the specific that we find the totality and nowhere else."

"This is the mystery of life and the ultimate Shambhala teachings: it's in the specific that we find the totality and nowhere else." (Reggie Ray, 2006)

Don't be afraid to be a mystery to yourself. So many times we do things or take certain directions that we don't understand. It is only much later that we see how that action fit perfectly and inevitably to the overall pattern of our life. That is why it is so important to be willing to take a chance on our inspiration...When we override our deepest desires with "practical, " "reasonable" considerations we are not only wasting our time, we are passing up precious opportunities that will not come again. -Reggie Ray
