The value of our harshest difficulties is how honestly they cause us to question, how they intensify our courage and bring alive our deepest inner purpose, how they reawaken our soulβs task on earth. In willingly facing the unknown, we offer trust in a greater purpose. And then we must venture wherever the road leads us, in spite of the dark, in spite of the quivering of our heart. Ultimately true strength meets the vulnerability of life with courage.

Jackβs timeless wisdom leads the way as he responds to a handful of questions concerning some of the common struggles encountered on the human plane.
He explores:
β How do we stay present when feeling unpleasant emotions without giving in to them?
β Why is desire considered a cause for suffering when it can be an impetus for joy, creativity, or satisfaction? Jack explains the confusion some have with the term desire.
β Feelings of jealousy and how to work through or deal with them in meditation.
β Working with the ego.
β How tending to our spiritual life is a lot like gardening.
