And I’ll be at one with everything. Sounds like a great fantasy doesn’t it.
And it is. For now.
We cannot delude ourselves that we are perfectly pure, rational and capable of dealing with all human frailty at once.
I’m reminded of the joke where the buddhist monk walks up to the Hot Dog Man and says “make me one with everything.”
So simple sounding, so tricky to achieve.
My parents have just stayed for a few days. They left yesterday.
During their visit, everything else is dropped.
I didn’t write, I didn’t record my videos, I spent no time on Twitter and while it feels like a holiday, I am also aware that I don’t really like the lack of focus.
I want to be my own man, wholly.
Isn’t it funny that, despite the different spelling, wholly sounds the same as ‘holy’ – a deep connection to the power greater than us all (by the way, we all have a ‘God’, we just have different names for the same thing).
It would be so great to just accept the way people behave and not get over-emotionally involved.
See/Feel, observe, react calmly, ahhhhhh – lovely!
Not a pipe dream, not a million miles away, but not 100% there yet. Never will be. We have different world views, we have different talents and temperaments, we do some stuff easily, other endeavours feel beyond our current reach.
Oneness with all comes when we have nothing to prove.
Show people the results, take time and patience in achieving these things. I hate hurry but I dislike procrastination.
There is a middle group (a way through) that is your true path. Resistance is futile, learn to be in flow by breathing your way through the chaos – realising you will not change people by getting angry. You will not ‘change’ yourself either, you will discover.
We are no blank slate, gentlemen.
We have inbuilt principles. Stand up for them.
