"He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves."
~ Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th century German philosopher from Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None
Self-mastery: to be able not only to "command" ourselves but also to "obey" those orders.
Few things are as powerful. As da Vinci (and sooo many others) teach us, "One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself."
Here's to our mastery.

Its taken 14 billion years for matter to gain the capacity to become conscious of itself. If this is true, it wouldn't make any sense that the whole point of enlightenment would be to escape from the whole process at the very instant that the universe is beginning to awaken to itself.
