Week 18 extra credit "The Healing Light Institute of Spirituality"

I read "The Healing institute pf Spirntuality" By Nelson Mandela. The basic point of the speech was that we as people are afraid of being great people. He expressed his feelings towards the more common belifes that we fear failure by contrasting this almost exactly! He also goes on to say that our "lights" incourage other people to shine. I agree with this statement for the most part. But for a select few the presence of our lights only discourage them and create a feeling of resentment and jealousy. Another point he brings up is our success and its connection to god. He promotes the idea that we should break ourselfs from this fear of success and by doing so, will show signs of godlyness. "We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us." this is a very powerful line meaning that we were put here on this earth to spread and exisbit the power of god and the strength we get from him. One of his most interesting points was that, we as children are not afraid of shineing but as we grow older, we lose sight of how amazing we can really be. i agree with his princples and calls for CHANGE.
