The mind seeks to be happy and this seeking itself is what makes it unhappy.
"Asking" how can I be satisfied is not being satisfied.
It is asking.
The fallacy is that asking "how can I be satisfied," brings the
answer, but it simply gives you
a reason why you
are not satisfied
with things as they are
right now.
Many spiritual seekers get embrace the path because the want to stop feeling badly - or to feel better. Because turning on the lights in a room reveals all the dirt - the path can increase one's suffering. But what happens if we stop trying to manage the moods? What if "good," "bad," "profane," and "holy" are seen to be just thoughts? They lose their power when you stop judging them constantly.
The truth is coming at us so fast that it can be completely overwhelming. We need to stand up for ourselves and change the world. John Lennon was ahead of the game by saying IMAGINE. He was right. All we have to do is come together and create the world we so very much need. We need a world of peace and tranquility. A world where greed and corruption are in the minority and not a way of life.
Hello fellow Evolvers! One of my roommates has decided to finally move in with his ladyfriend, so I will have a room available in my house in SE PDX! If you or anyone you trust is interested, let me know! I'd much prefer to find another like mind to live with before testing the Craigslist waters... :)
It is time to pay attention
the moment to heed the call
I know you hear it inside you
you're the one -
and so are we all
Earth is crying cause
we hurt her so bad
but when I try to cry with her
I have a hard time feeling sad:
my Being is overwhelmed with
a feeling, stronger than ever before
This time there is no hideout,
so I surrender into my core
I had a vision once, long ago of a Goddess hidden behind a very carefully constructed wall. I wondered; Why had she allowed herself to remain hidden for so long? Perhaps to teach us a lesson that we would not soon forget? She began dismantling the wall brick by brick until she was fully revealed to the world.
So last Thursday night I dreamed of a large human eye filling my entire field of vision. The dream stayed in my mind as it was one of those things you'd remember.
On Friday I was researching the Global Meditation, Rebirth Celebration (Mayan Calendar). I encountered this video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOZ0IIzQ68
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
