Law schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect opponents. Now, those students cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the law itself. And yet, rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will hold important government positions, fight constitutional lawsuits, and advise Fortune 500 companies.

When we are simply present with our breathing, our body sensations and feelings, and our immediate environment, the story lets go of us. We start to know ourselves as the pure, luminous awareness that sees and experiences reality here and now. This knowing may be intellectual at first, but gradually it becomes embodied.

What does it mean live “in sync with the sacred”? For Tom Stella, it means living an authentic life. It means “stepping to the cadence of the sacred”, which usually requires courage: the courage to be different, to stand out, to be considered odd, and perhaps even a threat by those who find their identity, comfort, and security in the status quo. The good news is that we can do this within our daily lives.
