Who ever told us we needed to know and understand everything? Just notice how many things we really don't know. How many things are on automatic? like the sun, air, earth, our bodies, why, when, who... This is a long list. Sure we can effect but we can't really change Life. We may get rid of life as we know it now, but soon enough it will bounce back, when we are … [Read more...]
One of my very first quesitons to "God" way back then, in my early 20's was "What is Going On Here?, I want to know?" To be here without a map is a scary thing. And the sketchy mismatch of a map I had wasn't getting me to the happiness I desired. It has been over 3 decades now since I first asked that question. And I am very happy to report that now I have a map that is working. So … [Read more...]
This is what Life is showing me today.... When we can step back and observe we find that the life we know is the product of the individual vibrations and desires of all of us... One calls for something desired (vibrationally) and another answers the call also vibrationally. And this dance is what creates the life we know here now. The signifigance of this is that nobody is really … [Read more...]
A friend asked me how I see the difference between un-attachment and de-tachment and have I attained un-attachment................ Personally I like the word un-attached because it still means part of ....and yet...free from attachment to. Detached, to me, seems more like separated from, and I cannot separate, we are all One. Un-attachment comes for me one thing at a time... every … [Read more...]
As usual the wonderful loving Universe we live in has set up a set of circumstances for me so that I can drop what does not work. Here is what I am learning... I have thought for as long as I can remember that when something went wrong.....someone did something wrong. And as I look around, I can see that others feel the same way, there just must be someone to blame. This idea is … [Read more...]
There is a place we can come to, Call it home if you like, Call it joy or love or peace. A place that needs no trying because It envelops and disolves and penetrates and perpetuates itself effortlessly. It calls to us while we sleep in our frenzied lives of concern and worry. It calls to us to stop and listen and feel, To stop and rejoice in what is, no matter what that … [Read more...]
Most people today would say anger is dangerous, or anger is to be checked, or controlled. What if we, each one, within ourselves, allowed our own anger, and felt it and owned it? I see so many people who would benefit greatly by allowing their anger. But they are afraid of it, they have been taught that anger is bad or unwanted. When we allow and feel our anger we are allowing our … [Read more...]
I asked the tree How will you get enough water, You cannot move to another place if there is no rain? And the tree said, I don't know, Life will provide. I asked the sparrow Where will you find enough worms, You have no storage place to save them? And the sparrow said, I don't know, Life will provide. I asked the sun When will you come over the horizon, You have no watch? And … [Read more...]
Enlightenment, awakening, Self actualization is about awakening from the dream of the mind. Created for protection. This dream began as a child and has been continually perpetuated... So the teaching goes 'If I did/do what they want they will love me" - and also as taught by them - 'I need love from outside myself'. Listening to the voice from within and encouraging what is heard … [Read more...]
If we will sit each day and ask ourselves "who are you?" the answers will come. Trust and desire are needed, but that is all. Do you have that, will you ask? When I was a kid my parents asked me to do all kinds of things for them. But, they never asked me, who are you? and they never listened to see who I was. Now I ask myself...who are you, what do you want, what do you think, … [Read more...]
