"This is the sign of true companionship. The principals in the situation exchange energy, ideas and feelings, constantly invigorating and encouraging each other to new heights of Spiritual achievement and Self-discovery. This exchange is not for the glory of others, but for furthering the process of each individual's 'Te', or pure potentiality." the Tao
Having this with another, then that other would be my sou lmate. I believe the opportunity exists to have many (many) soul mates...a universe full. "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is." said Albert Einstein.
When life is good and joyous, we can dance through the days as miracles. The challenge becomes to see those same miracles when the days are dark and sad. I know of no better way to see miracles than in the darkest hours for then that's all there is. May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly
where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us. This prayer is not just for women. Everything is as it is. It has no name other than the name we give it. It is we who call it something; we give it a value. We say this thing is good or it’s bad, but in itself, the thing is only as it is. It’s not absolute; it’s just as it is. People are just as they are.
Ajahn Sumedho Ajahn is a Thai Forest Buddhist. As i have continued to add to this site my view of what it means to be spiritual has evolved in the process. I see a distinct integration of the spiritual with self-awareness and acting out in the world authentically with the intention on being the best possible person you can.
Spirituality keeps anyone from falling back or acting out continually from their ego natures. It provides a ground of being or foundation that enables them to evolve or psychically grow. It envelops and enfolds you with a comfort and ease that quells our driven monkey minds. From the different perspectives in the various videos, there is yet a continuity of underlying message, that we are more than who we think we are and who others think we are. We are bodies of light and energy made manifest on earth to do with that time what we will. |
