How often do you buy into the human belief system? “Cancer is like this …”. “Men and women are like this …”. These are rules and roles. Do you understand this? What if you had no rules and roles? What if you took each moment anew without reference points from the past, without turning to ingrained belief systems for reference? Why, you would be present for what is appearing before you. And then, if you tuned in equally to the heart, where compassion reigns and the head, where consciousness dwells, you would not react but act in a wholly more appropriate way than one who says, “But that is how we always do it” or “But that is just the way it is.” Or is it?
Exactly the present reality of life.
I tend toward reaction (probably many if not most of us do), and that by rote, effectively impeding free flowing love and wisdom, when I should be practicing learning from the peaceful and loving ‘where consciousness dwells’.
The ground of this garden is fertile for deep and lasting relationships.
Awakening thoughts they are, awakening thoughts!
