Do what comes naturally

What do "nature" and "natural" mean in your mind? Where does this understanding come from? How easy is it for you to do what comes naturally? Is this something you readily identify or put a finger on? is it a mystery? Notice how the words feel.

The conditioned reflex is not natural. Whatever is ingrained as the right thing to do is not natural either. Are you noticing you know what nature is based on what it is not? Feel your vibes. Notice views of nature and nuture you adopt. Notice whether the message echoing in the mind is the same as that which whispers playfully in the soul. Who are you? Who is asking?

Singing comes naturally when one can hear the music. One is stirred to sing when harmony flows through their personal Nature. Everything sings, yet people often do not know how to read the music, or have not plugged in their receiver to hear a one of a kind and masterful symphonic production.

Humans are conditioned to look for the sameness in everything so that they can feel safe and secure in relationship to where they were before. If they can compare and contrast the world, they feel they know their place in it. This then puts them in a cell, because the mind then traps them from feeling the every changing situation that is incomparable to any other moment. What one looks for is not really there. It is one's very own energy being sent out and reflected back to satisfy one's fears and needs. Therefore, one is biting their nails which keeps them from touching the moment.

So what comes naturally is one's true nature. That is, one is moved by Nature when one surrenders the mind and what is judged to be correct, by dissolving the correctional institutions. One then goes wild beyond belief and beyond compare, and lets the body go where it has never been before. The mind then has no choice or preference. One is in rapture in the delight of letting go by becoming a part of the song that lives within us all.

Bern, one perspective is that 'you and I' do not exist. There is no "us" and "them." There is no question whether one hears the music for one is it. When one does not hear oneself sing, this is selective awareness. From the moment difference and separation are the chosen focus, then attention shifts from the heartsong to tune into mental static. One is forever aware of the song that flows freely through everything. One has more than one focus. It is increasingly apparent that one is multi-dimensional, multi-tasking and triggering multiple wrinkles in time and timeless spaces just for fun.

Hi Liara .. what a great quote ... "Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."— Henry Van Dyke ..

so true - the world would be very dull if we were all the same - thankfully we don't all have to follow the crowd, we are who we are and if we feel like doing something we can .. it will be natural ... cheers Hilary

Hilary, whatever you notice and feel at a given moment serves your evolution. You build character as you nurture beliefs and you liberate self from the mental beliefs as you let go what you outgrow.
