Time with Reality

.
THIS (moment, in all it's 'imperfectness') is how we spend time with God. We miss Reality if we want things to be any particular way (other than how they are). Without full participation in what IS we 'miss the mark', and remained fragmented, anxious creatures. WITH full engagement we become truly (fully) human.

Mt 12.50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

How things are IS Reality.

'Your' life isn't about wanting this or that- getting what you desire. It's not about how other's view you, or how you think about yourself, what you do, or how you feel (about anything.) Those are bits and pieces, things in awareness, but not 'your' being. In THIS moment you can find your life. It's fully formed, whole. You won't 'become' more fully you with knowledge, or with actions (works).

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"
Mt. 6.25

Matthew

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...
