Most important is the discovery that spiritual principles can solve all of our problems. -- Anonymous
The point of living by spiritual principles is not to distinguish oneself from the ungodly, but to stand in radical solidarity with everyone and everything else. (This is a paraphrase most likely of Fr Richard Rohr.)
To stand in radical solidarity with everyone and everything...to actually stand with and not just preach about it...is to recognize our current Jailer as our scapegoat when, in fact, s/he is our own self, always our own self.
Ah, but the same goes for our current Lover...scapegoated with hearts and roses, albeit the same self-centered fear runs through.
Our Jailer is the manifestation of our projected fears...our Lover, the manifestation of our projected wants.
Physician heal thyself.
Thank you.
