Karl Forehand

“It’s time to be wild again. Take a prophet or poet on the journey and float out into the mystic. Dive deep into the mysteries of life and let yourself sink long enough to know what can only be imagined, not defined. Take a step out into the desert with those that have ventured there and find mystery and paradox and nuance, not certainty and doctrine.”
― Karl Forehand, Being: A Journey Toward Presence and Authenticity

“Leaning into our pain not only helps us solve our issues, it also helps us learn about them. Some things we can’t solve magically and some of them, if understood, can become strengths instead of weaknesses.”
― Karl Forehand, Being: A Journey Toward Presence and Authenticity

“The tyranny of the urgent shouts down any reasoning that would slow it down from getting where it’s going (even if it doesn’t know for sure
where it is headed at the time).”
― Karl Forehand, Being: A Journey Toward Presence and Authenticity

“Being with the Divine may be less like taking a class and more like taking a break. It is certainly learning to be still and go within without any intentions or expectations. It’s not an emotional high that fades away, it is something I experience that was already a part of me. It’s less like taking a trip and more like coming home. Being with the Divine in me is loving in its truest sense. I feel the compassion, mercy and grace deeply—it changes me from within. Being where I am means being where God already is. Being who I am is recognizing that I already possess this love and I become what I have always been—a unique imprint of the Divine.”
