A Shaman Was Asked

What is poison?

- Anything beyond what we need is poison.

It can be power, laziness, food, ego, ambition,

vanity, fear, anger, or whatever.

What is fear?

- Non-acceptance of uncertainty.

If we accept uncertainty, it becomes adventure.

What is envy?

- Non-acceptance of good in the other.

If we accept good, it becomes inspiration.

What is anger?

- Non-acceptance of what is beyond our control.

If we accept, it becomes tolerance.

What is hate?

- Non-acceptance of people as they are.

If we accept unconditionally, it becomes love.
