Making Sense of Healing in the Era of Denial and Self-Actualization
We heal by understanding and acceptance, and by our willingness to grow up and grow out. We heal by entering through the gates of experience, not by climbing over them. One of the biggest fallacies we confront during our time here is the belief that healing is a goal. It isn't. We cannot conjure healing. It is the inevitable and eventual positive consequence of dealing with our struggles as they come and as they are passing into each successive phase of their metamorphosis within us.
Happiness is a gift, but it’s also fleeting and never guaranteed. The greatest thing we can do with our time on earth is pursue a life defined by meaning, curiosity, wisdom, and a greater connection with others. This comes by developing our character, strengthening those around us, exploring all of life’s mysteries, and leaving everything we touch in a better state.
The Lion’s Mouth is dedicated to the exploration of ideas and discussions that honor these endeavors, always upholding free thought and expression, a respect for the complexity and beauty in all of existence, a geniune love for others, an abundance of generosity, a hunger for learning and intellectual pursuit, and an unwaivering interest in the vast potential of life.
