Be the Stream

See the stream as she gently winds her way along?

How she is not concerned with what might appear to be “obstacles” in her way?

She does not become bogged down.  Her progress is not hampered.  She does not stop to build up force, for force creates a counter force—friction.  Too much time and energy would be wasted.  Her focus may be lost, and she may never make it to her final destination.

She simply builds her resources flowing around, over or under, gathering strength as she goes.

She understands these “obstacles” are necessary for her to gather strength.

These “obstacles’ are not “obstacles” at all, but guides indicating the direction she must flow toward her worthy ideal—the ocean.

As she gathers strength, becoming the river, her path becomes straighter.  Less is able to withstand her power, however she understands she is still bound by the laws of Nature, allowing it to be her guide.

Lakes are a time of calming, reflection and cleansing, as she journeys persistently toward her final destination.

It's Your Move

If we are to expect any assistance from our Power of Intelligence we must first put forth the effort whether in thought or in deed.

Nature does not support a parasite or a loafer, but she gives her energy to the ones who are struggling forward.  She lets the parasite and the loafer see that she will help if they put forth the effort to help themselves. - Raymond Holliwell, Working With the Law

Illusion

What is this desire to attach our self to things?

To say I am this, or say I am that?

Why is it we feel the need to own—to control things?

To say this belongs to me, or you belong to me?

Why must we manipulate, compartmentalize and label?

To say this must go here, and you must go there?

Why do we linger and hold our self back?

What is this magnetism we have with the past?

What is this craving for gossip, the insatiable need for drama?

To meddle where we don’t belong?

Why can’t we see the prison we’re in?

The walls we are building, the limitations we set?

Ego demands identity—Spirit is free.

The Most Powerful Weapons

Far more devastating than nuclear weapons—weapons of mass destruction—are the weapons of hatred, sarcasm, cynicism, jealousy, controlling behaviours, attitudes of superiority, domination, and the like. All other weapons come out of these.

No evil compares to the decimation of Spirit. Physical death would be freedom from suppression of Spirit.

Take no part in these weapons which destroy the Soul.

Search your heart and remove all such weapons.

Every person with whom we cross paths is an opportunity to elevate or demoralize Spirit—each Spirit is a field for cultivation or decimation.

30th Verse of the Tao

Whatever strains with force

will soon decay.

It is not attuned to the Way.

Not being attuned to the way,

its end comes all too soon.

For many this excerpt from the 30th verse of the Tao will remain a mystery.

For those who meditate on this, understand this, and apply this, they will discover within it one of the secrets to lasting success in all things.

Woman with Flower

I wouldn’t coax the flower if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it’s dry before you water it.
The leaf’s inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too much prodding,
Too much eagerness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.

Ride the Wave

In keeping with last Wednesdays post I would like to repost Ride the Wave.

Study and enjoy.

Ride the Wave

The life force within us is our power of intention. It is our guiding light not to be resisted, but energy, to be steered and cooperated with driving us to our desires. It is our job to be aware of the circumstances presented to us and not resist them but work within them creating our purpose. Resistance will always bring counter resistance resulting in conflict and an unhealthy environment opening us to all kinds of stress related diseases. We must maintain a constant vigil for the perfect opportunity provided through circumstance which will move us toward our goals yet be yielding to change trusting that our Power of Intention knows the best way for us.

If you have ever had opportunity to observe the surfer you watched him surveying the sea as the waves constantly rolled in. He searches for the perfect wave that will give him the ride of his life. Once he has made his choice he is fully committed to his wave. He selects the perfect position within the wave and begins his ride. He doesn’t try to control the wave for that would be folly and end in disaster. No the master surfer takes the opportunities the wave presents him and works within those circumstances directing his ride to a thrilling successful end. His successful completion depends on his cooperation with the wave. If he resists or goes against the laws of the wave he will surely meet a counter resistance creating conflict and ultimately crash risking injury.

As the surfer selects and totally commits to his wave focusing all energies upon a successful completion he reads and conforms to the circumstances provided within the wave and by his thoughts and actions he creates his successful journey. So must we select our goal, commit, focusing all our energies toward a successful completion. Remain stoical maintaining a flexible attitude toward the necessary circumstances presented for our desired end.

Control

The most we can hope for is to organize our thoughts, with faith and gratitude, in such a way as to continually direct us toward our intentions.

Only the foolish believe they can control anything beyond this.

Happiness

No matter our present circumstance, happiness, contentment, peace, can be had now. Not at some future time when our surroundings may be more congenial, but right now, this very moment, and every moment here after.

This happiness, contentment, and peace I speak of, saturates the entire universe and it is within each of us waiting to be discovered. It cannot be found in the external world, it dwells within; in the silent undisturbed depths of the spirit. No guru can deliver it to us; no amount of outward stuff can supply happiness; no form of relationship is able to clothe us with unbroken contentment for this kind of peace is transitory and will not stand against the trials of fire. What we must do is believe, simply believe with our minds. Entertain no doubt and meditate on this until we fully understand it. As we meditate we will begin to build a new inner world, which will strengthen and solidify with new understanding, as we begin to realize how powerless our outside environment is. Understanding this realization will enable us to enter into this peace, this unchanging happiness that enriches the soul.
