When the ego steps out of the way, the soul neither wins nor loses. The soul triumphs over nothing and cannot be defeated. Nor does it comfort us in our losses. These are matters of ego and therefore matters of indifference to the soul.*
James Carse

So your threshold is the point at which you’re going to go into new and challenging territory that you’ve never been in before, and there’s no turning back.**
Roger Dilts

Perhaps there are no thresholds,
There are only the paths that leads us through –
Formed by each self’s “innate exuberance,”*
Often self-unnoticed, yet we have each been walking this way
for all our lives.
