Turn on the heat and you kill the cold. Switch on the light and you destroy the darkness. Manipulate the conversation and you will never hear the words to come.
You have no right to control anything that is not you. Controlling other animals, people, ideas, is what makes you separate and lonely. When you see all life's inconveniences as your ememies, you are setting yourself apart.
If you hear that a person a thousand miles away is having to spend an hour doing some work he does not enjoy, you are not too concerned.But when you are that person you act as if the world were ending. You are not listening to the lessons around you. Instead you shout about the injustice, look for short cuts, and start pushing the world around in order to gain advantage. Try to look upon yourself as if you were a thousand miles away.
Your ancestors moved with the day. They rose when the sun came up. If one place became crowded they moved away. When it was dark they looked at the stars and they slept. You protect yourself with a house and blanket. You stay up late so that you need a alarm to control your sleep. You turn on the heater because it is cold or let a fan blow away the heat. You are like a nearsighted child running through a schoolhouse full of exciting activities , shutting all the doors. You are missing many lessons with your control.
You are so afraid of being deprived of something that you reject your birthright without knowing what it is.
Be aware of all the hundreds of ways in which you are controlling and manipulating during the course each day. Hesitate a moment each time you are tempted. Awareness is the beginning of growth.
Sometimes your ancestors destroyed life. They would kill and animal or plant.They would do so with respect. The animal was not an object or an enemy. The animal and the people were one. Only when you understand that you are one with all things can you safely destroy things.The cold is not your enemy.You and the cold are one. You and the darkness are one.When you feel this, you will move with grace. and with a smile to do what is right to do.
Inspiring Daily Meditations
I have come across this simple but precious little book! Written in 1977, it is no longer in print, so i shall share it here. The Book found me at the home of my Wise Aunt. She was trying to put it away in the shelf, and it would not go in. So I asked her if I could see it. It was shining bright. I hope You enJoY it too and may it help bring Light and Love to Your path and remembrance of your true Nature
