[Learn] to slow down and perceive the mysterious events and opportunities that happen in life. We call them coincidences, but if we look closely we see they are meaningful.

James Redfield

As we blossom or awaken, we begin to notice there is a force in the world that seems to be operating and leading us into a certain destiny. And it's very much a kind of detective effort on our own part to figure out what these things mean.

It feels like we're on a path of unfolding in our own personal evolution.

Since the late 1970's, the main focus of prisons has been punishment, not rehabilitation.
