It's so important to activate joy. Most people confuse joy with pleasure---pleasure is temporary, but joy is a state of being.
This week's talk features the story of the Prodigal Son, a tale of leaving the state of well-being, of moving out of the state of wholeness. From it, we learn that Spirit is always with us, and everything that Spirit has is ours. We can shift from meritocracy to grace, which is inclusive, merciful, and non-punitive. Ultimately, we learn that we can't get there---we can only be there.
Life's meaning is to humbly and proudly return what we've been given.
