Higher Emotions
At the end of the day, whether it is the
ecstacy of winning a race/game in sports or the realisation of
a dream, the ecstatic reaction is the same. For me this is what
'spirituality' is all about. Higher emotions include the rapture
you feel when you are in love with someone, the ecstasy of a dream
come true, the sense of oneness of family and comunity when hurdles
have been jointly overcome. The is a certain 'IT' we acknowledge
... the 'I love it' ... that we allude to when things turn out.
Fortune favours the brave it is said and
courage is the language of the heart, which is the centre of our
spiritual selves. When we lack the conviction to follow our dreams
it is the spirit that suffers the most. The truly beautiful thhings
about spiritual 'medicine' is that it is so instant. Renewing
commitment instantly floods the body in alternate chemicals which
exhilarate sthe body.
It is also a truism that the light that
burns brightest burns the shortest too. Measured application (humble
practise) of this magical ability is essential. It is critical
that we follow our 'destiny' in this regard. Some will be here
for a short while, some for a long ... there is a choice made,
by a myriad of unconscious decisions, often we are unaware of
it on a cognitive level. Often we are aware of negative choices
as they lie within the range of cognition yet we lack the support
(of ourselves and others subsequently) to challenge ourselves.
This is the stuff of slow medicine and slow creeping dis-ease.
It is also the fulfillment of our journey - without judgment.
Enlightenment Is A Secret
Breathing, drinking, eating, playing and
dancing in the gardens of our imaginations is tempered by the
physical acts too. Play is the most effective way to learn/teach
... over earnest effort is as distructive as a lack of effort.
The law of attraction is the most powerful tool in our arsenal
of spiritual techniques. 'Do without doing and everything will
be done' is a Zen maxim. We can attract everything we need purely
by being ourselves in a pure form. Monitoring attractiveness,
and we are ALL attractive inside, is a great tool for assessing
spiritual reality.
Be careful out there - Light attracts dark
- only when we ignore the dark (lessons) we are in the process
of learning.
