The Big Issue: DeathWe’re in the tomb before we’re in the tomb, and that’s a fact. Human beings are the giants of the earth – we have reason, sensibility, pride, anger, vengeance and all the feelings under the sun – but with all that power and strength at our fingertips we are unable to prise open the lid and discover the secrets within. In a sense we are obliged to seal our last hope, like a pressed flower, in that cavernous space. We may search the world through for precious gems to line the lid, to let it sparkle and shine, but really nothing can alter the doom it contains. Everything made of earth has to go that way. I may stare my giant’s stare at the tomb or try to break its stone with force of mind, but in the end I have to laugh at the fact that what its chamber hides is greater than the greatest of my kind. And what does it hide? My own body.

Do You Feel Morally Superior?When we live from our ego, it is very easy to feel morally superior to others. We can view other people’s lives and choices as ‘less than’ our own: less valuable, less correct, less worthy, less important, less meaningful, less right, less good. As we grow and stop living from ego all the time, we find a path or paths that fits us in our search for meaning, truth, expansion, and connection. And many of us who find a path that works, begin to feel morally superior to anyone not on our particular path.
