To
be or not to be that is the question. To be is to exist and learn the lessons of time. In
reality few of us are alive to the present moment and tend to drift, and dream
along within a self made euphoria. Stress without relief can distort the
natural order of things, causing strain and a breakdown in health. One coping
method is to wear a cloak of invisibility. Children, who have not been allowed to express
themselves, due to an over strict up-bringing, can carry their cloak of
invisibility even into adulthood.
We are all spiritual beings enjoying an
earthly experience and unless we live each moment, cannot gain the full benefit
of the incarnation. This means keeping both feet firmly on the ground and not
living in a world of fantasy.
Having a human birth is good fortune indeed
and provides the resistance the soul needs in order to develop to its full
potential. The earth bound experience
helps us to test the reality of inmost spirit which is eternal and ever free,
with freedom of choice; that is if we can avoid getting caught by the hook and
line of the worlds predators; a quote from Shakespeare’s hamlet provides food
for thought, “I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself the king of infinite
space, were it not that I had bad dreams”
We are all modifications of power and
essential parts of the functioning of the whole, whether it is the distant
stars, the planet earth and all living things on land and sea. Affirming this
relationship is a way of restoring inner harmony, whether with a single tree or
the distant horizon.
Man often works against the natural order
of things and at times threatens to destroy life on the planet. Stress and
personal ambition creates waves which we all have to live through, unless we
can say stop and work in harmony with the natural intelligence that is invested
in all life. To live in the present moment means re-connecting to the subtle
life pulse that flows from the Cosmos, energises the Sun and gives life to the
earth. This means letting go self-imposed stress and experiencing the timelessness
that gives meaning to life.
Experiencing timeless moment’s, means
living in the ‘Here and Now’ and using the words ‘Here Now’ to step away from
the illusions of time. Similarly the words ‘Now Here’ are of equal importance
as it provides the opportunity to attune to the many levels of intelligence,
applicable to each level in time. Finally conjoining the words ‘Now Here’ gives
us ‘Nowhere’, and the eternal and the timeless origins from which all life and
experience arise.
Practise being aware of each step you take,
of being in contact with the earth and the pulse of life with the changing
seasons; let go of stress as you re-balance and harmonise with nature. This is the way to ‘Self’ healing.
