Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Know by being

Know not only with your mind and your senses. Know by doing, know by living, know by being.

Know with the whole of your existence. Know through the integration of your experience with your spirit.

Some things in life are far too important to be mediated through the pages of a book or the pixels on a screen. Fully know the richness and the wonder by being an integral part of it all.

Don’t settle for being two or three degrees removed from the essential values of life. Dive deeply into the experience of each moment so as to directly know the miracle of being.

Know love, beauty, and fulfillment by allowing them to manifest through your focus, commitment, and persistence. Know truth by putting it into action from moment to moment.

Go beyond thoughts, feelings, sensations, and representations, as valuable as they can be. Come to know the reality of your existence, of all existence, by doing, by living, by being.

— Ralph Marston
