It seem to resonate a lot w/me. My friend JD at sourcesofinsight.com has a good mantra "paralysis by analysis". That is why i like more doing vs thinking. Think less do more, review and improve. Grow.
I like no. 10. A true giver is grateful to give.
"Offer blessing & wish merit to every being, no exception." If you can do that, you couldn't be happier. It's called Love. Nothing is greater than that.
How are you, dear Liara ?
How is your family ?
You write me such a beautiful comment, as always. I appreciate your wisodm and the loving energy that shines through it. You are a blessing to me with your accurate *light* filled words. Thank you.
It's an interesting synchronicity that you came to my blog walking in stillness. Stacey and I were wondering what to do next winter and we were wanting to visit and explore other countries for a change. We were jogging outdoors when we were speaking of this and we passed an inflatable globe in the ditch. And I told Stacey I bet the answer to where we are going is the country I see first when I look at the globe up close. Interestingly, the country was Australia. We have been eyeing New Zealand too.
To realize you harbour opinions is a sign you are beginning to observe some of your own conditioned habits and patterns. This is a necessary step a person takes to better understand the true self.
Judging is a conditioned, human trait that brings anger and discomfort or insecurity to the surface. A person can then explore what lies underneath.
This I really need to read slowly and feel.
Just one clarification. Can you explain this a little further:
What arises unexpectedly is not of your true nature?
Thank you,
Juliet
