Joy is so much deeper than the appearance of things. Things sometimes look messy. And sound and smell messy. And may even feel messy - yet ... when we're open we can sense Joy underneath and in all that seems so messy.  When we're not resisting anything ...
when we're open to everything joy, love, clarity are there. It’s so easy to love when others do what we think they should but if love is really unconditional then it has no borders. What's easy doesn't mean it's true. Waking up to our true nature is a call to the knowing of this love. If we’re selective with love - if anyone at all is excluded – then that's an invitation - an opportunity - to look deeper.  Our thoughts tell us love has limits -
certain people at certain times seem outside of our love. Thoughts know nothing about love - how can they? They're only thoughts ... but our Heart knows. Thankfully, we can always choose what to trust. Whenever I see acts of violence such as what recently happened to George Floyd, I feel such sadness not only for the one on the receiving end but for those perpetrating the violence. My heart goes out to them both - to George Floyd and to the police officer who kept his knee on George’s neck while ignoring his ‘I can’t breathe’ pleas. How utterly shut off from his true sense of Self that officer must be. It's such a hellish experience to live feeling cut off from our natural true sense of peace and love. Yesterday I watched this video from the spiritual teacher Mooji about not only the death of George Floyd but the real possibility we have to go beyond our egoic sense of self. There is no other way for us to live together in peace and love until we ourself know the peace and love that is unconditional. If anything - or anyone at all - confuses us out of this peace and love then that is an invitation for us to look more deeply.  World peace is the ripple - We are the Source...
this is how important our awakening is. Awakening is activism at the deepest level. This week two people emailed me about insights they are having about resistance and in a nutshell here is what they are now discovering: Resistance is not something that’s just happening – it’s something I’m doing – or not doing. Judgment of anything or anyone is resistance. I’m beginning to see I have a choice to either judge - resist whatever’s happening or not. When I do resist what’s happening it doesn’t feel good. I feel tight - closed off to love and peace. And when I’m not resisting there’s an open feeling … it feels so good. ************************************** Deep thanks to all you fellow explorers.  Without resistance,
Peace and Love are revealed.
 If what you want is peace -
why not be open to being peaceful now with whatever is in your experience? Thoughts, feelings, images - allow them all and see for yourself if peace is not only the end but the means. Here is the link to a very short article |
It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
