Don't
be afraid to play with the dolphins. |

Regardless
of what "Big Al" really meant when he said this, I am not
intending it as a blanket categorization or judgment of people; it is
instead a real-time distinction between spirit (linking us to God's
love) and mind (linking us to fear in the physical world).
This "opposition" can occur between groups of people in a
given time and place - those allowing their spirits to run the show vs.
those allowing their brains (or egos) to control things - but more often it
plays out inside each one of us in the internal conflict we all
face every day, and in every moment. We get to choose our
response, based on our spiritual awareness in that moment or our
sometimes overwhelming habitual desire for safety, and the choice can be made
more challenging when many in our community are choosing safety
more often than not. Great spirits often reach out and find each
other to neutralize or eliminate that fear dynamic and to support
each other in forming new habits of healthy choice. |

To
reinforce the point on a lighter note: "Man
has always assumed that he is more intelligent than the dolphin,
because he has achieved so much more throughout history... the wheel,
New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins ever did was
muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the
dolphins know themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely
the same reason."
