Greetings
Seems there are about seven billion of us on the planet at the moment,
and the number is growing – each second.
It also seems that, even in subtle ways, each of us are unique. Wonderful.
Unfortunately, this uniqueness can, and often does, lead to disharmony –
each one of us wanting things to be the way we want them to be. In fact,
we could say that it is this wanting things to be the way we want them to
be is the basis of all disharmony, conflict, and war.
Check it out.
When you are feeling discomfort, disturbed, angry, resentful, or revengeful,
is it not, in some way, because things are not the way you want them to be?
With seven billion people all wanting things to be the way they want them
to be – no wonder we have, and always have had, such an unstable situation
on the planet.
Another aspect of this wanting things to be the way we want them to be is,
we take for granted that, the way we want things to be, is the way they
should be.
As a general example, lets take the situation with religious fanatics –
does not each religion assumes their’s is the true/right way?
If you are not In The Zone – feeling way beyond fear, it probably means
you are still caught in the unconscious habit of not being with what is, but
wanting things to be your way. Understandable of course, and not realistic.
As an exercise, just imagine (once again) that way things are for you at
this moment is exactly they way they are meant to be – for your maximum
potential. Get that, and you will not need that uncomfortable situation again.
Ever. Neat eh.
Once again, from Shakespeare:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
– Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio
It could be that, as is said in the East, what we call reality really is
Maya, illusion.
Suggestion:
Experiment with this as if it is a reality – you are not seeing, hearing,
tasting, experiencing what we are calling reality as it really is.
There really is Something Else.
If survival – safety, security and predictability is your conscious or
unconscious priority, you are not so likely to have the realisation that
‘Thou Art That’.
And why should you want that realisation? – Because it is much more fun!
