Chapter Epilog:
Where do I look for guidance I can
trust?
Not from my lower pleasures and pains--they are too shortsighted.
Not from just any emotions or thoughts--
they may come from dysfunctional parts of myself.
Not from just anyone--they may not know or care what is best for me.
Then where?
I can trust the emotions and inner voice of my Higher Self, because
the Higher Self reflects true empathy and love for self and others.
Even if it makes errors, at least it values happiness and truth above all.
It is my inner hero and spiritual center.
Every time I listen to it and choose its way,
I become stronger and increase my chances for happiness.
