Whatever, Wherever

Averywhere/Anywhere

How much better off people would be if they realized there is nothing special about God and spirituality. It's your birthright to be whole and present with Reality. (Instead of 'Reality' you could substitute 'God', but if the term has distinct meanings that are limiting, it's not a suitable substitution; as the term has to encompass EVERYTHING.)

Here' s an example of how you can 'see' into daily events to discover your true 'Self'...

Imagine you're in a grocery store; waiting in line to check out. What feelings do you notice? What thoughts 'run' through your head? Are you at ease, or dis-ease? Would you rather be someplace else, or are you satisfied just where you are?

This is how we find ourselves. Nothing special.

Pay attention to the thoughts, feelings, urgings, etc. that you notice, NOW. Why do you feel compelled to run away from something; only to get to another place from which you want to run? Why does the moment seem dis-satisfying? Where do you think you can go!? Look at what you can accomplish (realistically, not idealistically, as if you were 'perfect'.) What can you change and what can't you change...and will it really make any difference? By watching Reality (but more specifically, the way YOU see it) unfold you will come to see who you are and what is REAL.

What you discover WILL amaze you, and you will find peace and satisfaction in every moment. You will discover your true Self.

Can you be certain?

. When something happens in your life, how often have you lost your sense of peace? I see this happen to people often; usually peace is relinquished by negative emotions or thoughts. Who in their 'right mind' would relinquish peace for irritation/anger (suffering)? It's obvious that what happens to us isn't unique. No matter what you experience you can always imagine others (or actually know someone) who experience similar things and some could be said to be 'better' or 'worse' off than you are. No one is alone and this is a clue to 'escape' from the judging mind. To judge/label an event as 'GOOD' or 'BAD' can't be completely certain; since either choice presupposes a 'correct' way to decide. There is no way to know which one is correct, and the choice is usually biased by desire, that is, "what do I WANT". When you choose sides you've trapped yourself in a fantasy prison (in your mind). There is no ...

A story

A young man told me a story about a very strange dream he had. His dream came after he read a sci-fi book about the future, in which everyone has been given the power to create whatever they desire. In his dream he found he COULD control things and events with his thoughts, just as described in the book! He also discovered something unexpected...everything was interconnected. So no matter what you did or created it couldn't be isolated and protected from other things; everything was subject to change. Nothing existed on it's own. No problem, he thought to himself, he'd use his power to make a world where things could be protected. But he couldn't. The underlying reality allowed things to be created, but it couldn't be controlled in it's basic nature. Skirmishes broke out between people; then terrible, all-out war. Everyone was trying to get what THEY wanted...at the expense of everything else! Since there was no way to dis-connect, there was no way to a...
