jackie's strength

1) we are both human and divine

2) self is greater than your conditions

3) whatever you say "i am..." to, has a way of claiming you.

4) every human being has a dark side.

5) victimhood is a false concept that makes us powerless.
- honor the abuse as a teaching for both us and them.
- when a persn stays in their own power, they are rarely victimized.
- if i am drawn to it so much that i feel i need it, something needs to be healed.

6) our desires are God's love operating in our lives

7) we live our lives in a world of opposites
- own both/all aspects of the self
- the shadow has power when we see its beauty

8) there are no outer experts, the wisdom comes from within

9) an open heart is a bridge into the Divine

10) distress is not pathalogical

11) sacrifice is not a giving up, but a taking on

12) as you cultivate your own nature, all around you begin to grow.
