In all kinds of ways - if we are willing - our children take us into places in our heart we didn't know existed. In this way, they loosen the grip of our ego and help us expand our sense of our true self, allowing us to access our ability to love unconditionally, live fully in the present moment, and enter the experience of consciousness.

What a gift, then, to have our children in our lives so that we can journey together, benefitting each other through the continual exposure of our unconsciousness, coupled with countless opportunities to shift out of ego and into a more authentic way of being.

I was telling a friend earlier today that I had always known at some level that fathers would do great and terrible things for their children, but now that I’ve got my own it’s a much deeper understanding of that. It’s unexplainable. You can’t fully understand it until you have a child. But what you can understand is that you don’t ever get between me and mine, because there ain’t nothing I won’t do to correct that.
