Allowing thoughts to flow, November, 1997

You ever wonder about the meaning of life? You sit there; lie there thinking why am I here? Why me? Why do things happen to me? for me? with me? by me?

Well stop. At the end of the day life is far too complex to be understood in one of these sessions. You only feel even more frustrated at the end of it, as you are no further towards your goal than when you started. True enlightenment requires not thinking on life. It's not the Western image of Eastern monks siting in lotus position for their entire lives thinking themselves to enlightenment.

Life is doing. Life is now. Love life. Live life. Cherish life. Breathe life. Hate life. Whatever you do, do it passionately. Life IS. That is the essence of life. And once that is understood then life blossoms into a beautiful flower to be seen, smelt and appreciated by all. You become the bloom in the garden of life that the Creator had in mind when you were put on this earth.

When your days seem grey, your mind grim and dreary. Everything around you seems to be a burden, then you are off the path. When death seems like the only escape then you have wandered so far from your chosen path that you are lost in every sense of the word. The solution to the problem is awareness. Be aware of all around you. If you are lost, and you know it - Is it really a problem? No, its another of lives lovely challenges that you can face with a smile on your face and a happy thought. When you don't even know that you are lost then you are a cloud of darkness walking through society. People of the light can see your darkness even better than you can. A sadder thing can be found nowhere. Flowers fulfill their purpose. All the plants and animals on this planet quietly and majestically go about their missions, being at one and at peace with the rest of the world.

Mans impatience sets him apart from the rest of this earth. It is the source of so much tragedy and destruction. What is impatience? Why should you be impatient for something that is not, when there IS. So much in this life IS. It surrounds you for your benefit and your pleasure. Patience should have no meaning.
