Aspects of Being
Daily, we walk out
into this world with what we perceive as our needs and expect them to be
met. We plunder the environment around us and abroad, we exploit and reap
profit from the lives therein...
We have seen how even
good intentions can wreak havoc, here in hindsight, and yet, learning from
mistakes seems like a burdensome drudgery, for each generation till now
has seen themselves as the very epitomy of Creation! We, in effect, treat
the history we've gleaned as the dire mistakes and ignorance of foolish
men that went before us, rarely aware that we are not immune from perpetrating
our own.
Paradox of any kind
baffles us and is easily dismissed as we tenaciously hold on to what we've
been taught, without examining the nature of the teaching and what the
consequences are.
It may surely be now,
at this time in history, that we but begin to grasp the flaws of our arrogance,
and that moving forward can mean infinitely more than merely advancing
the fulfillment of our desires. For without Unity, and a striving towards
a better understanding of our own natures, around us and within, and an
ackowledgement that none of our actions are without consequence, we only
'appear' to move forward....
Like the layers of
all we experience, be it in our hearts, minds, spirits or bodies, none
is truly separate from the others, and all are forever opening to give
us new glimpses. This is what we can take out into the world....
Seek ye not to claim
to be wise...for a child will find God in a buttercup.
