I truly don’t believe any one person can be right about all things. To define right, would mean to describe truth upon all truths; something I believe can not truly be defined by words. Understand our dialog with others and self, is simply a means of communication to interact with life; obviously English or language, isn’t the only way to describe an experience. You will ultimately be the only one who can define the great “why” of your life. I’m sorry, wish I could do it for you, but no one can but yourself. When I gaze upon a piece of fruit, say a blue berry, I enjoy taking time to engage its nature by attempting to see the universe within it. I realize my perspective of size is only relative to the size of the fingers which hold it, without this measurement, the blue berry very realistically is the size of the sun. Within its contents is a world of its own, alive with activity beyond my physical sight. There is a connection made, a simple but profound relationship is acquired; as it makes its way towards my mouth, gratitude for its abundant life overcomes my being. Thank you, my little blue berry friend. This is one reason I enjoy so much the idea of eating alive food, it’s beaming with life throughout its presence, as oppose to decaying and bacteria ridden flesh of a dead mammal. For me, again I say ‘for me,’ there is an intuition of thankfulness. In return, I find my body responds with renewed life and energy, as if the blueberry somehow has transferred its awaken-ness into my being. The reflection is true as well, when eating its opposite, dead flesh, I feel weighed down, uncomfortably gutted, and disconnected from the experience of greater self awareness.

Whether it’s the rain pouring down, or the soft ripple in a pond, they all seem to have their own placement in this vast universe. It’s as if they are at the center of it all, knowing without doubt they are fully present. I often wonder the extent of one rain drop, to fully understand its nature, its time, and any awareness it may have. It lives for only a moment, but serves a collective role where its actions are on purpose. There is no accidental rain. We can not find a single watery drop whos role was not influenced by all of life that surrounds it. Comments are closed Discovery, Intuition, PAW Daily Prints, Poetic, Tiger's Favorites Decisions -, Thought -, Universe - I believe life is designed to be much simpler than we make it; our illness, heartache, emotional turmoil, are all very resistant to life -none of them truly need to exist, they are only what we’ve created. My path is to discover these simplicities and understand more fully their role in my life; freely sharing what I discover. Other than that, Im not interested in much. Forgive me, if I seem disconnected from your interests. “It’s not that I’m lazy, I just don’t care.” That was a line from the movie Office Space; which I’m sure many of us can relate to. I want to reasure you, it’s okay if you’re not interested in that which seems pointless. Focus on what ‘you’ love, and don’t accept the guilt others wish to give you for not being interested in what interests them. Comments are closed Discovery, Encouragement, PAW Daily Prints emotion, Guilt -, Illness -, Opinions of Others - Is it not simply an experience awaiting a meaning? Influenced by a positive and negative charge. A love, a fear; equal in their right to exist, creating what they create. We simply see beauty in one, and by choice, choose it’s direction. Creating a life experience in love, rather than fear. It is neither good nor bad, simply our preference in now. When we are attempting to guide our children, or anybody for that matter, I find it important to put the power back into their hands. I’m not here to babysit anyone, I’m here to empower people and help them to understand that within self lies the answer, and the solution is in you changing your own mind, rather than trying to change the actions of someone else. If we are consumed with the perceived wrong-doings of everybody else, we become trapped into believing their life path greatly affects our potential for peace and emotional well being. Comments are closed PAW Daily Prints, Relationships, Responsibility Change -, emotion, Guidance -, potential I believe within each of us, is a passion whose desire is to love. Not “love” in a silly sense, but in the capacity to fully accept self and all those we come in contact with. It is my hope that as you continue your journey, the love you feel within grows beyond the measure of man’s understanding. For sure, I know at times this can seem difficult, to continue on in love when life becomes repetitive and dull. Wherever it is that you find yourself in this moment, I hope it is one of willingness to move forward and discover more of who you truly are. Why? Because you know you are worth it. One’s expectation that love cannot flow freely, will have a difficult time accepting the love one can give to self. Do you find yourself as skeptical towards love? Meaning; you see a limit of its potential all around you. Do you automatically assume others as disingenuous, or lacking compassion? Is your world one where you constantly question the intent of others? Hmmmm. Within your discovery there is much to learn about self, and the limitations of love you place on your world. Appreciate the small things you can do, for it is the small things that all big events are built on. Build slow by doing what you know you can do consistently, and occasionally challenge yourself to see where your limits are. As you increase your understanding of what you are honestly capable of, without selling yourself short, you will be amazed at how your life can change over time. The implications would be huge. Instead of seeing others as you want them to be, desire for them their highest vision. I find when I release the idea that I’m smart, I learn the most about what’s real. When I stop deciding who’s right and who’s wrong, I understand more fully the dynamic of what’s really going on. This new information, assist me in making quality decisions for my own life, rather than obsessing over the decisions I think others should make for theirs. If we desire to expand as a collective race, we must first be in a position to take responsibility of our own lives, our own consciousness. Involving ourselves in activities and thought processes where our desired outcome is to place blame on some president or political system, can drive our separation further into the mess we’ve created. We create resistance by avoiding truth. Those things we do not acknowledge because we fear they will show our weakness, we fear coming to terms with that we are not satisfied with. Yes… this is called self denial. By avoiding truth, our heart becomes tense and we busy our minds with all things except self honesty. The curious thing, is that if we were to just accept what we might consider to be our weakness or disadvantaged habits, without denying how we truly feel, a door would be opened up that can begin to allow what we truly desire to flow into our lives with ease. Even accepting your own denial as what is, being conscious of its presence, could be considered progress. Why do people desire sincerity? Possibly because instinctively we know much of our world as fabricated, with not much honesty that reaches the heart and soul. We get it, pop stars are cool; we get, your cars worth a billion dollars; yes we understand your political position, but in all honesty I’m not really sure I even care about all that. What we are interesting in, is healing what’s left of the human heart condition which we will call fear, guilt, shame, and withheld love. We understand within the healing we desire, we must first get over the idea that honesty is vulnerable and weak. Sincerity, is what brings people together. Transparency is what keeps us as one. Comments are closed Discovery, Love, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Guilt -, Honesty -, Shame -, Sincerity -, transparency Can I truly say my understanding, my interpretation, my observation, are the only way to discover truth? How many possible ways are there to tie a bow? How many options do we have in a given day? Is there an end to the choices we have? In all those possibilities, in all the vastness of space, we can see 13 billion light years in every direction and there’s still no wall, how is it one’s own mind could ever possibly understand the unique truth for another soul? Because of this, in all my efforts, the only logical conclusion I can come to is that all I’m really able to do, is know for certain that I can grow myself. One comment - (Comments are closed) Encouragement, Growth, PAW Daily Prints Interpretation -, Truth - Hopelessness is an interesting feeling, in its understanding all hope is given away to a negatively balanced chance. Kinda like buying last weeks lottery ticket. With it comes no desire to create change now, only a desire to change yesterday. Paralyzed you become. If we find ourselves on Monday, with hopes only for Friday, yes in deed your week will be long. I don’t blame you for not celebrating today, because if I lived in tomorrow, I would not be excited about today either. Maybe the point then, is to find something to be excited about for now. If this something only serves a separated ego, the fulfillment will be fleeting and washy; if this new adventure serves the creative need of self, and the good of mankind, then you may discover the fulfillment as being renewed with each day; keeping the heart in a place of now. The reason this form of living is so common, (denial and resistance) is because we have been taught to attach our identity with all things “bad” we experience. We are taught if what we do is bad and negative, then we must be bad and negative ourselves, leading us towards guilt, shame, and fear. These are emotions we run from because we don’t really want to believe we are anything other than whole. The truth of the matter is that in our uniqueness, the withheld love we experience is part of the wholeness we instinctively know we are. It is neither good nor bad, simply present, and there to help us grow into a more realized self. Without these lessons, growth would be impossible and we would lose all benefits that come with our world of diversity. The challenge, is somewhere along the way we have learned to identify what we call “bad”as being void of value. There is a separation that has taken place, dividing our selves from one another, and dividing the self from its own wholeness. One comment - (Comments are closed) *Linked, Acceptance, Consciousness, Encouragement, Growth, Love, PAW Daily Prints Denial -, Diversity -, Good and Bad -, Guilt -, Resistance -, Shame -, Uniqueness - In all our interactions with others, there is a core purpose to help us to understand ourselves more fully. In all things, there is a relationship; to understand this connection is to understand who you truly are. What is Happiness? I think the question is silly if the intent is to define what it means for everyone. Here’s an interesting question, regardless of what the word “happy” means to you, what rules do you have in place that must be met in order for you to be “happy?” Hmmm. Really think about that. Do your rules involve the actions of other people, must someone else do something in order for you to be happy. How much of your happiness manual requires the external self and world to conform to an idea you hold in your head? What if your “rule” for being happy, only required you to be able to breath deeply in the morning? Imagine that… you wake up and breathe deeply – and realize, “wow, I can be happy today, my happiness rule has be satisfied.” It only becomes more complicated than this because we allow it to be so; within all that we think we should Be, Do, and Obtain, we limit our level of joy because we are convinced life is not perfect until our rules are obeyed. News Flash – It’s a cycle that will never end, until you end the cycle. Right now, breathe deep… and realize… ahhhh I can be happy now, I’m breathing! It’s easy to wait for things to happen in life, without giving sincere focus towards what you truly desire. The challenge of course becomes, nothing ever happens. It’s like watching your favorite tv show and and thinking about that passionate business you once wanted to start, your thoughts become passive with no substance towards growth. There lies an incredible synergy between thought and action; a creative power that is measured by the potential of each moment. There is always the opportunity to unfold the experience you desire, however, a mind divided between purposeful action and laziness towards growth, will be without the creative potential in now. Comments are closed Creativity, Now, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Action -, Business -, Desires -, Human Potential -, Thought - Being gently lifted up over a wall, is similar to being softly guided through life; of course in many cases this can only be seen in hindsight – but without fail, understanding will eventually arrive. As I reflect, many of yesterday’s disappointments have served nicely in helping me to define more clearly what it is I truly desire. I can honestly look back and say “wow, I’m thankful for have had to learned through that, and I am thankful it is no longer an experience in my life.” When we can become thankful for our failures, guidance has a better chance of helping with our internal successes. -note: I say internal successes, because as we change on the inside, it is a natural occurrence that our world begins to follow suit. Pick a political side. Which side of the road are you on? -dude, I’m not even on your street, I’m three blocks this way, and I’m just visiting, I’m not even from around here. Seems redundantly boring to narrow the mind and be forced into a label of perceived good and bad. I’ll also say no thanks to making a habit of joining the collective support group where judging others opinion is used to mask ones own opinion about self. Gossip is an association my heart can do without. No apology for not fitting into your bubble. Comments are closed Judgment, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Good and Bad -, Gossip -, Opinions of Others -, Polotics -, Social Limitation - Have you ever laid wide awake in the middle of the night, and noticed sounds that have always been present but it had been a long while since you noticed them? It’s amazing how loud these noises can become when we enter into silence. It’s as if someone turned their volume up ten fold. Whether it’s the consistent tick-toc of a clock, or the hum of your appliances, these noises come alive when the rest of our commotion filled world has taken a break. Guidance works much the same way, to hear its song, one must release the noise of the world. In silence of the mind, the mind of god can become a symphony, allowing the heart to dance with confidence. Comments are closed Encouragement, Intuition, Now, PAW Daily Prints, Poetic, Tiger's Favorites Confidence -, God -, Guidance -, Heart -, Silence - Question. You remember the last time you didn’t care about what time it was because you were having too much focused fun, tomorrow’s concerns simply didn’t matter because you were joyfully present in now. It’s funny how we drag ourselves to work Monday morning, but come time to wake up early and go on a vacation, we’re fully present and excited. If you’re at a place where you internally drag to your place of service, I would passionately encourage you to find a gift within that allows you to express your capacity to serve externally, in a manner that’s exciting and has -true value- for others and self. Let this internal gift be your childhood Christmas-eve… Meaning, -the lack of sleep never keeps you from awaking with a smile and purpose. Comments are closed Creativity, Now, PAW Daily Prints Business -, Purpose, Smiles -, Value -, Work - It seems a lil silly to me, to work with the sole intention of gaining the approval of other people. If only we approved of ourselves, we would make the decisions that naturally draw the respect of others. It’s not to say all people will admire the decisions you make, but most will notice a glow that seems to expand as you discover yourself more fully. Happy Glowing… hehe. kinda like happy growing. The only conclusion about life that I can come to, is that it is meant to be experienced, so start creating the experience you desire to… experience. The pain is never as real as it seems, it’s just part of our creation, an illusion running through consciousness. Within this visual game, there are no winners and no losers, no ultimate right or wrong, only what the soul desires to learn most. Go ahead, you now have permission to enjoy your life. Comments are closed Consciousness, Encouragement, PAW Daily Prints Creation -, Good and Bad -, Illusion -, Pain -, Soul - You know those moments where it seems like someone should say something, but nobody does, creating an energy of anxious anticipation. I find those moments humorous because I enjoy the peace when it comes to social silence. Conversations are an interesting thing. One of my biggest irritations is being stuck in a conversation I have absolutely zero interest in. These are usually conversations that carry zero value, other than simply to practice moving ones mouth. lol. This is going to need to be expanded… The above makes me laugh because I can feel the energy of others when they are confused by my silence. Personally, it doesn’t bother me if I’m in a room with someone and nothing is said. Other than an acknowledgement of their presence, if I don’t have anything constructive to talk about, I ahhhh don’t want to talk. I think we might be better served as a society if we cut down on our collective chatter by about 80%. If you were to expand your frame of reference and see all the words being spoken at this moment, include the noise in the air ways, do you honestly think the majority of conversation is constructive; or would it consist of fear, blame, guilt, gossip, and complaining. I laugh at myself when I reflect on times where I forced myself to conversate, where I try and have a conversation just to appease the social status quo. It usually ends horribly. I’m not saying I don’t ever talk about negative stuff or complain myself, you see, this is why it irritates me so much, because it’s something I desire to grow away from. So if this sort of conversation interest someone else, cool beans dude, it’s just not for me. I guess the point of all this, is to maybe take a second look at the conversations we do have, and see if they have the type of value we desire for our lives. I could be totally wrong about this but it would appear that much of what we speak about is negatively pointless. I understand that people want to connect with others, and that’s great, but I don’t know why it must be done with fear based conversation. I enjoy connecting with people in silence as well as in conversation. If I’m in a room with someone, I feel I can connect with them silently, sometimes even better than if we were conversing with words. In Conclusion Meaningful Conversation is something to be desired; and it can play a fantastic role in your growth. Ask yourself real quick, when was the last time I had a conversation with someone that when it ended I felt totally uplifted, renewed, and excited about now? The next question would be, how often do I have these types of conversations? For myself, these types of conversations are almost daily and definitely weekly. This is partly because of my amazing wife, who shares my desire for constructive conversation. Also, because I spend much of my time thinking about progress for self and consciousness. Feeling down, or depressed, is only seen as bad because we interpret it as such. Simply because we don’t enjoy the experience,we acknowledge it doesn’t have a right to be present, or is void of value; this puts us in a position where we fight against “what is,” creating a divided consciousness with resistance. As one changes his perception towards acceptance of this depressed state, he will find within it a lesson waiting to be learned; broadening his understanding of what’s real, and what’s illusion. Comments are closed Acceptance, Consciousness, Depression, PAW Daily Prints Illusion -, Perception -, Resistance - Think about how you have grown beyond relationships, those connections that once served purpose but now seem to only hold you down. Some of these transitions have been difficult, others have been without thought. One note we might recognize is the influence these new relationships have had on our growth, how they may have inspired us or renewed our energy to make greater leaps in our expansion. It’s okay to grow, if we fear letting go of relationships then in those moments we are without love for ourselves. Discover deeper connections with a greater appreciation for the “I Am” that you are. Discover you more fully. Be Here, Now, Because you accept self and what is. The noise will become quieter, the ideas will flow, and the guidance -in hindsight- will have always been present. Comments are closed Acceptance, Discovery, Encouragement, Fear, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Appreciation -, Connection -, Guidance -, I Am - The next time you come across a situation where you see another as separate, viewing them as a label rather than the love they deserve, make an effort to understand -if you wanted to, you could have seen them in an entirely different light, one that would have empowered the higher self, and created peace in your heart. After recognizing such a moment, take time to forgive self. See your error without condemnation, and anticipate the next moment where your love can be fully shared. Can you see how this habit might lead to greater acceptance of self, not self esteem or feeling special, but a sense that within all your imaginary flaws, resides a peace that knows all is well. Linked to “Forgive Thought” PAW Daily 5.27.09 Comments are closed *Linked, Acceptance, Forgiveness, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Flaws -, Habits -, Higher Self -, Peace - Forgiving self may be our greatest challenge. However it is necessary if we wish to reduce the resistance we send out into the world. Why would one forgive self over forgiving another? Because one would understand blame as a pointless game, serving only the ego which desires to separate itself from the rest of the world. Blame is relative, an illusion. If we take responsibility and say “hey, I’m the one who chose to focus on your perceived weakness, and I’m the one who perceives it as undeserving of love, and in my decision I have only denied myself, my mind I forgive,” with this approach we realign our perception and begin to heal our own eyes. If forgiving other people offers strength, then continue to do so, however recognize that as you do, you also blame. On a site note… I find it funny how society teaches us to demand an apology, as if we could not go on because another refuses to say sorry. The ego must love this game, proving to itself your freedom resides in the words of another. How silly. How often do you accept the thought, “if I only made more money then the problem would be solved.” It’s amazing how many times one might entertain this belief throughout their life. If we paid attention we might notice how there lies a cycle of disappoint within this mental pattern; leaving us in a constant search for the physical promotion, believing the answer is something physical. We might want to consider the thought, “what in me can change to allow this solution into my life?” The process then becomes internal, allowing us to create healing at the level of cause rather than the symptom. I’ve found that faith in the power within, is far more rewarding than faith in a piece of paper. Maybe life didn’t work out the way you thought it would; spending your time in a routine that constantly waits for tomorrow. Maybe the liberation we’ve been taught to seek, is merely an illusion that covers the real pain. If we believe true freedom is the liberty to have physical and personal rights, then we have bought the lie being sold. True freedom is liberation from self, the idea that ‘I Am’, is not the you seen in the mirror every morning but an extension of all that is, in now. It’s cute if you understand what I’m saying, but to actually experience moments where the self does not exist, is simply unimaginable to those who have yet to experience it. The self you believe you are, is an ego trying desperately to sustain itself. Your true identity reaches beyond your home, further than any border, and higher than any star; I’m not trying to inspire you, it’s my intent to inform you, so you can begin to see reality as it truly exist and not as the movie playing in your mind. 2 comments - (Comments are closed) Intuition, Now, PAW Daily Prints, Separation Freedom -, Illusion -, Liberty - When we observe others in what we would perceive as their hardship or pain, be it an addiction or life challenge, I would encourage you to see the lesson as not their identity, but only as a splinter in self. Meaning… Someone’s life lesson is not who they are, just as our ‘faults’ do not dictate a lesser value of love we deserve. Again I would say our observation’s intent, plays a huge role in our own growth. Your interpretation of their experience is simply that – ‘your interpretation.’ Use each experience like this to expand the love within self, by viewing the challenge as an opportunity to bring healing. Rather than focusing on how this other person is wrong or separate, find an understanding that asks the question ‘what is the capacity within myself to bring healing rather than judgment?’ You see, when we consciously bring healing as oppose to judgment and separation, we heal ourselves. This is in part how we are all one, their lesson becomes our lesson, but only if we choose it to be so. Comments are closed *Linked, Judgment, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships, Separation Addiction -, Lesson -, Pain - I feel the world becoming smaller in my mind. I used to see it as such a big place, with an enormous amount of people; …with myself cast to the side to defend against fear. In this state, it was easier to succumb to daily annoyances that ultimately were of little significance. Now, I see the world much differently. In my mind the world has become smaller, as if I can see more life without having to strain my peripheral vision. I see a great potential in everyone of us, to improve, but in our own ways. This means to improve self not by playing a social role, but by healing our heart and living with more love for all of life, including self. Does this really seem like an impossible, or unnecessary task? We can grow in a unique way, with total – 100 percent acceptance for the choices of others; giving us the energy to remove the prickly stick from our own heart. When you meet someone for the first time, do you see yourself searching for what you dislike about this person, or do you search for qualities you enjoy. What ever your thought intention may be, will greatly influence your experience with this new relationship. You may also discover that when you find beauty in another, the negative gossip you hear about them will sound foreign and undesirable. Of course I’m going to mention, that when you seek out the negative in another, it very well could be a silent opinion of self. This is what I love in regards to this awesome process called life. In all our interactions, we discover more about ourselves; if we experience discord or pain, the answer is always present and just waiting to unfold. I find it is more fun when we can see the honest lesson, as not a devaluation of self but an opportunity to become stronger. So as we move forward and discover the dirt below the facade, we do not need to experience guilt, but only an excitement to go further into true self. Comments are closed Compassion, PAW Daily Prints, Relationships Gossip -, Guilt -, Intention -, Life -, Thought -, True Self - Why? Why so in a hurry? Why do you insist the destination you desire arrives in a place of yesterday? Did you even notice your own anxiousness? Yes, it is silly we could become so entangled in a web of time; believing something should or must arrive sooner then when it does. I would imagine this sort of anticipation, one lost in the illusion of days, would have a hard time accepting the idea that what you are is Now. With more focus on the created world of time, mixed with the preference of want and need, we miss out on the true creation potential which is ‘Now;” leaving us stressed and off center. Time is an instrument of communication created by man, not the dictator of your world. Now is your world, it is your experience to the core. Return here peacefully, and create with joy. Take your feelings and step beside them. See them from outside your mind. Understand your feelings, are not all you are. Many times we become trapped in our mind, believing our emotions are the full self. When we can use ‘feeling’ to our advantage, our creation potential becomes expanded; I’m gonna call it ‘Feeling Potential.’ This can even be explained on a scientific level (for the left brain’ers). The idea that consciousness creates, is an idea proven many times over. To understand mind and emotion, is to understand your most powerful tools; giving you the opportunity to experience feeling as an instrument of song, creating the theme track of your world. Within your production, you learn to feel your way towards life and love with increased ease as you grow.

How and why, do some get along lovingly while others are constantly at each others throat? I don’t know the answer for everyone, I only know what works in my world.

Maybe the walk has discouraged the soul from making any sort of meaningful progress. Or perhaps the mind is overwhelmed with illusion and has been convinced that pain is the natural order of things. The whispers of ‘peace of mind’ seemed to be tapping at your door but you’re not home to answer; how irritating that must be. If you are in this place, where there is an urge to allow peace into your life, I ask that you take time in silent depth and remember the goodness you already are. In your remembering, see the action your higher self would take and move closer to the love it desires to share. One comment - (Comments are closed) Depression, Encouragement, PAW Daily Prints, Tiger's Favorites Goodness -, Higher Self -, Illusion -, Infinite -, Soul - I’m discovering for myself, the greatest hindrance towards growth and moving forward in life, has to do with resistance. Please take time to understand when we clinch against what is, what we desire flows through the cracks in our hands. In essence we are resisting ourselves, not acknowledging we are one with all things. Knowing this, find ways to move beyond resistance peacefully; which will come in changing your perception and seeing the circumstance as a perfect opportunity to grow into what it is you truly desire. You won’t be able to eliminate your resistance over night, it is a process to be adored. When you find yourself resisting just take notice, and don’t compound it by resisting your resistance; allow it to unfold naturally by having awareness and using the experience to redefine your desires. This process will never be the same for two people, enjoy your unique lesson in expansion and allow yourself to unfold with ease. In regards to any life challenge you may be facing, does it make much sense if I were to say, “It matters, but it doesn’t.” It matters because you experience it with the opportunity to grow but in the end it is only an experiment of consciousness without death. The resistance you offer up to ‘frustrating’ life circumstances, only compounds the challenge making it that much more difficult. At the very least, do what you can to not exaggerate your tough time, so as to not exaggerate emotion, which is a huge creative force. What keeps me around, in this experience called life, is simply a state of consistent curiosity. Recently I’ve notice my response towards personal challenges, is… “Hmmm, isn’t that interesting.” Comments are closed Consciousness, Depression, Intuition, PAW Daily Prints Curiosity -, Death -, emotion, Resistance - What gives me a sense of great confidence, is my confidence in the universe I dance with. I understand that ‘I’ am not simply made up flesh and bone, walking with me is a consciousness fully aware of its presence, connection, and desire. There is a relationship beyond the joint of your knee, it extends and surpasses the physical while maintaining an influence that is weaved in all of your moments. This is the love I have for the process called life. Without each other (the collective), alone the little me will stand. Without relationship, our heart will grow small. Without cooperation, we spin our wheels in the sand. -In all we are searching for, at the core is connection; recognize all you are, and in your infinite self see the living wholeness. Take notice of how one persons description of gooey, may differ tremendously from another’s experience with the word. One may describe it as soft and mushy, while another labels it as gross and repulsive. Can you honestly define who is wrong? I consider it a serious matter, when thinking upon the implications in creating division within our everyday experience. Professing another is wrong in their action by way of gossip, argument, and thought, creates an illusionary separation as was seen with the gooey semantics. Gooey, is a description not the described. We each offer up an interpretation as we attempt to make sense of a spinning world, in the process our experience creates meaning in our own unique way. Because we see, act, and think differently from one another, we should only expect that others will not operate in a manner consistent with our own perception. What we can be sure of, is they are interpreting the same world. What you see as wrong and repulsive in others, is merely an opposite side of the same coin; an extension of self. The division drives personal pain deeper by acknowledging you are separate from the rest. Accept gooey as perfect with all the opinions that come with it, and remain focused on what you are for, rather than what you are against. -”I don’t see it that way, but I certainly appreciate your point.” -This is a phrase I have found myself recently using. In a conversation where I’m being sold a view based on a world were symptoms are the problem, I find myself in total disagreement and complete appreciation of another’s opinion. In my response, I see how these words can disarm the fear one might have, by me not being in agreement with their ideology. I appreciate their belief, because in acceptance I discover they have a natural right to believe whatever; as do I have the ability to use consciousness in anyway I see fit. In a place of judgment, this social interaction would only become an argument with the hope of fleeting satisfaction. In your daily connection with others, I encourage you to see acceptance as the healing agent for your soul, and argument as the disease which darkens your heart.

In bewilderment I find comfort in knowing the information is too vast for me to swallow in now, allowing myself to remain open to discovery . If I saw life as dull, there would be no desire to grow or understand more completely. Discover the fascination within your heart, find the bewilderment of love that knocks softly in your being; be amazed with your goodness, be astounded with something constructive, and have peace in knowing you know nothing.

Is it possible for two neighbors to live in peace for any length of time? At what point is there a requirement for these people to be at war with each other? Finally, how many neighbors does it take to eliminate the possibility for collective harmony? Yes, the challenge for peace becomes greater when the number of participants increase. Keep in mind that this is only a challenge, not an impossibility; a situation we should be thankful for, for it teaches us to find a greater peace within. If peace is obtainable for one, then it is possible for one hundred. You can always tell if you are without peace, when you are without acceptance for your neighbor – which of course, is lack of acceptance for self. My heart beats compassionately for those in troubled relationships. I can see your emotion runs deep, it hurts as if the highest self has been torn abruptly. With all that I could possibly say, - continue a path that becomes more focused on what you can do rather than what you cannot do. In your doing… understand the importance of tending to your emotional well being. For finding solutions when the heart is defeated, is an occurrence that cannot be counted on. Within a smile, rest quiet answers waiting to lead you towards healing; your responsibility is you, nurture the small child within. |
