Another day, another musing. My
the days are flying by. It is not right to be so busy all of the
time. There needs to be an opportunity to enjoy life. That
includes the work life as well. Though, it does have its
moments. We just need to be able to create more of them.
Part of the reward at work, comes from interacting with others.
This is something that I don't do a lot of on my own. But, that
is starting to change. The tides are starting to turn. Not
that I see myself as ever being extrovertive. But, there is no
reason to be as much of an introvert as I have been for so long.
What is familiar is not necessarily good. It may be or may not be
depending on what we make of it. We create our own reality, here
as well as everywhere else. No, not all of this occurs
consciously, but much of it is controlled consciously by what we
believe and what we know. What about those who are unaware of
what they believe? Clearly, they are without a clue.
Though, in their ignorance may be a bliss that is absent to someone who
is more conscious. The goal is not necessarily to live
consciously. There are many things that we can do automatically,
once we develop the appropriate abilities. Until then, we may
have to apply attention and intention.
When will we realize that our will is spirits will for us? That
is indeed a powerful realization. And, if we have chosen to
resign our will to the will of spirit? Then that is spirits will
for us so long as that is our experience. It is not a
struggle. It is not a matter of one versus the other. That
is not how spirit works in our lives. She expresses through us to
the degree that we allow her to. She takes everything that she is
freely given. She uses everything as well, primarily in service
to those in need. And, all are in need to some degree. Only
the severity and the types of needs vary, not the needs
themselves. This will change when we eliminate the concept of
need via the fair distribution of the abundance that is created through
us. What makes us think that what is done through us is ours ...
that we somehow own it? This is far from the case. This is
what establishes the differences, the walls and the barriers between
us. From one vantage point, differences are very good ... so long
as we don't make different than into better than. No one is better than anyone else.
Though we all have our unique abilities and talents.
In general, people try to do the best they can under the circumstances
in which they find themselves. This is absolute, there are no
exceptions. Hmm ... are there really any absolutes? That
seems to be questionable in and of itself. We live in a world of
relativity. Where do we find absolutes on which to hang our
consciousness? One answer that comes to mind is: in the sounds of silence. I
don't really know where that came from, but it sent a shiver through my
body.
Overall, life is good. It could be better, but it could also be
far worse. I continue to take each day one day at a time, not
really knowing what I will be doing from one day to the next.
I've been doing that for years. It has become a way of being for
me, one that is all too comfortable perhaps. Maybe it is time to
shake things up and do things differently for awhile. How much
and how differently are important. At this point, it seems that a
major change is in order. I'm tired of being tired. I'm
tired of being bored. I'm tired of not having the opportunity to
live life to the fullest. Hmm ... but that is not true. We
all have the opportunity to do this. It is a matter of what we
choose to do. Any limits we have to our expression and our
experience are of our own making. This is always the case,
regardless of any apparent evidence to the contrary.
It seems that I've not only accepted limits imposed on me by others,
but I've created limits of my own free will as well. These have
resulted in conditions that I do not chose to tolerate. Spirit,
however, can tolerate everything.
