Take what is given
Monday, July 4, 2011 at 1:01PM Everything is present now. To want more or assume something is missing, is to block what is already given. In essence, you imagine barriers that block the truth of who you are. You selectively forget. The mind gets focused on its own dualistic ideas, beliefs and perceptions that come to shape what you see. You are conditioned to view yourself as separate from all others. The more you narrow and compare individual views, the more of reality beyond it is cut off. Instead of taking, you resist what is given
All-the-while, something within longs you to heal any sense of difference. Through the lens of divine love, all is one. Spirit is never confined as mind believes. As you let go of the part of the mind that craves, newer, better, different, or extraordinary experiences, the simple and ordinary are illuminated. Peace and contentment unveil themselves as constant companions. Awareness speaks. Nothing seen through filters has meaning.
"Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health." -George Herbert
