Prophet lessons, 101: Learning and the class

Posted on October 12, 2021 by Meisaan Chan

You learn by doing.
You learn by failing.
You learn by trying it out.
You learn by walking.
You learn by observing.
You learn by listening.
You learn by observing again.
The class is life.
The lessons are hardship.
The grade is love –
How much love are you using?
How much love are you birthing?
What are your seeds?

The foundation of trust

Posted on October 4, 2021 by Meisaan Chan

Trust is built upon the foundation of humility
humility is built upon the foundation of courage –
the courage to accept that you are not the center
the courage to accept that you are not the not-center
the courage to accept that you belong
