In the age-old arts that I teach, coach and endeavor to follow, it is said that craving, desire and fear of change — especially healthful change — are the root of most suffering. When we learn to better abbreviate clinging to our fear, desire and suffering, we can catch more and more common glimpses of what it is like to take genuine ownership of deeply healthful views, outlooks that in their practical application quite succinctly make the world a better place.
It is so much about learning to witness what it is like to be without our “walls of lies” – to not be lost in the stagnicity of overt concern about the past or future. In learning to witness and take part in the living loving story of our lives (versus just being a pawn to the story of our lives), we can better and better alleviate ourselves of the three portents (harbingers of all bad tidings): hate, greed and ignorance.
It is all about being mindful and present, in a loving, selfless, altruistic awareness of what is genuinely important, i.e., a quintessentially resplendent light bright spirit of true appreciation of the miracle of the moment: This such splendid way of being allows us, enables us, to genuinely embrace and deeply witness within ourselves a holistic oneness of the mind, body and spirit. It allows us to lovingly embrace healthful change.
It is not about living for the moment, but living in the moment: If there is a Heaven, a key to the Universe, even a sixth sense, they are rooted in true honesty, promoting of true happiness and true freedom — and most importantly, needing less and less to hide behind. It is a loving, selfless, sweet, innocent, sparkling, spine-tingling, shivering appreciation — a glimpse of an existence where there is no time, no space, no distance, and no yesterday, no today, no tomorrow.
It is a glimpse of an existence where all is known – once again, nothing to hide behind.
It is a beautiful key to true health and true responsibility. It is a path of heart — a way of life more and more without unhealthful fear, unhealthful pride and blind greed. It is so much about being healthful conduits and diplomats between Heaven and Earth — also known as true appreciation!
