Fear is the enemy. Life is not your enemy; the Other is not your enemy; fear is the enemy, and fear has crowded you into a diminished corridor of that vast mansion of possibility that the gods provide us. Ask yourself of every dilemma, every choice, every relationship, every commitment, or every failure, “Does this choice diminish me or enlarge me?” ~ What Matters Most, p. 13
The Best of James Hollis
Logan Jones
When we face complex and pressing problems, we know we can’t solve them alone. We assume our most important decision is to assemble the most knowledgeable people. Once we’ve found the right experts, we put our future in their hands. But that’s not what the leaders of the Chilean mine rescue did. Instead of merely relying on an exclusive group of established experts, they built a system to bring a broader and deeper pool of ideas and intelligence to the surface. When they made their first voice contact with the miners, it was thanks to a $10 innovation from a small-time entrepreneur. The eventual rescue was made possible by a series of suggestions from a 24-year-old engineer who wasn’t even part of the core team.

We all know that in The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy’s house is swept away in a hurricane and she ends up in Oz, where she has to go on a long, mystical journey to finally get home again (“There’s no place like home”). Metaphorically, she has to find herself and her true spiritual center. Her journey back home—or back to that essential center place within—is the mythical journey that we all take in life, whether we’re aware of it or not. It’s about the quest for meaning, a sense of purpose, love, and connection. Life is about finding our way to this place and living it energetically on and off the courts, no matter what “storms” may happen. Joseph Campbell returned to this idea again and again and in the process inspired a number of artists.
