Guard diligently the insidious resurgence of the addiction
that enslaves man: The need to
know. The baggage of
self-reflection, definitions, reason and the other tools used to label and
categorize feed this addiction.
Our need for control by thinking we know something disappears as we live
constantly with the reminder that life is always spontaneously renewed and is
never what it seems.
The adventure of life is like riding an ocean wave, or
shooting the rapids: It is meant
to be exhilarating and inspiring; a journey of unpredictable delights. It is not for those who cling to
self-pity or in faithlessness prefer the stagnant waters of the marsh. It is not for those who seek the safety
of the pack, but are instead at one with the heartbeat of life, even if only
they can hear it.
In living in devotion to the song of the One Life coursing
through our lives, we are living in service to all. The greater self; a being as vast as the cosmos having a
human experience, is the only director of the symphony of our lives that can
produce authenticity, centered self-sovereignty and the gift to life of playing
our part gloriously.
We are the One Life expressing as the many – heirs to the Kingdom of the Infinity, not beggars craving alms at the gate. Let us live from the fullness of the majesty that is ours, freely and magnanimously giving to all along our way.
We have slept and dreamt that life was transient and that we
had to earn the right to exist by proving ourselves worthy. We have awakened to find that we are
eternal and that our true inheritance is one of incorruptibility. Let us acknowledge in jubilation the
victory of the soul over all illusion that has obscured such a glorious
destiny.
There is nothing to accomplish, nor achieve. The One Life moves through us in abundant expression and all we need to do is allow. The journey is designed for joyous discovery of the self, a consciousness permeating all life. In complete surrender to our greater self do we find peace.
Greatness requires solitude. Mediocrity is fed by the communion of the masses. To be outstanding, one cannot run with the pack. Yet many forfeit greatness because they are not content in the company of the One Life that flows through all. The contentment with aloneness comes from practice; from getting to know the inner life by taking time to hear the whisperings of one’s soul.
Silent agreements and unspoken agendas between people lie: To keep them from growing out of one another’s control. To indulge their folly and excuse dysfuntionality; this is done to buy security. All of life presses for clarity and truth. Impeccable authenticity in our interactions is the most likely to produce successful relationships.
Expectations arise when we do not realize that our being is our sustenance. It is then that we try instead to extract support by spinning a web of contracts, promises and inter-dependent relationships. We can only receive assistance from another if our greater self thus manifests it. The only being able to give us anything, is ourselves.
Thank you
