Who is going to do your "spiritual", soul-growth work for you if you don't? We are not just pinballs in a pinball machine. Of course there is growth that will occur naturally from random experience. However, if one ruminates on the process, occurrences, and contributing factors, and the subsequent learning to be digesting, one will find themselves in the most phenomenal school environment. Between the physical and spiritual, not two but one, blended breath-based reality, one can find an everlasting adventure space within oneself.
Each person is a self contained cosmos. Each representing a diverse aspect of the perfect love from which all come. An eternal avenue for creation, life to discover new aspects, new truths, new perspectives - all contained within each person.
These are only discovered through effort to uncover and digest. Living life as a a habit, a repetitive, simply physical exercise will not reveal what and who we are. Thinking was created to do this, not to try to "figure things out" - there is no figure things out as everything is happening in.
Languaging. Processing. Contemplating. Digesting. These are a few of the tools at our disposal. Repeating the same phrases, thoughts, actions will only disguise life. Life is emergent, active, expansive. Invest some time in the wonder that you are.
Right as I finished this, our kids video came to "Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?"
Reminded me of the wisdom of the other song that we all know. "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."
"...a repetitive, simply physical exercise will not reveal what and who we are."
ReplyDeleteWell said! In fact, repetitious prayers, mantras, and the like (which are extraneous attachments to belief) will actually prevent the deeper heart-work from taking place... a resistance of our holy spirit, as Moses (symbolizing the Holy Spirit of God ) said to the children of Israel (chosen to teach us about ourselves), "You always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you." Man has been resisting the holy spirit for the past six thousand years. To activate it requires "silence in heaven," heaven symbolizing the mind, which when completely silent opens the seventh seal (or seventh chakra), allowing for the completion of the transformation process; resulting in the creation of "a new heaven and a new earth," symbolizing "a new mind and a new heart."
Thank you Mystic. I didn't see your comment until today. I apologize for the delay. I apparently don't have the notification set up properly. Blissings!
