Chuck’s Place: Calm the Self, Calm the World

1 Comment

Acceleration Fatigue might aptly characterize the mind’s reaction to the  energy of now. Future Shock has become daily shock. Saturated with awful, we can absorb no more. Herein lies the opportunity to: Calm the Self and Calm the World.

Every day offers opportunity for calm reflection…

Begin by refusing the attraction to new news. There’s always excitement to be found, and excitement has its definite place, but too much of anything leads to exhaustion. Save your attention for your breath. Softly breathe in calm, gently melt away tension in soothing release.

Consider the many lives of self, coexisting at increasingly subtler levels of spirit, supporting the body in these rapidly changing times. Allow the messages, teachings, and adjustments from faraway dreams to innervate the self of daily life. Feel the love and support of wholeness of being as it reflects itself throughout the day.

Suspend judgment. Treat the march of events as they arrive at your shore with deep curiosity. Who are these visitors? Do I need to purchase their offerings? Why have they come my way this day? Don’t be offended by their intrusion. Remember, you have total charge of where you place your attention. Choose wisely, choose lovingly.

Love. Love the body, the physical being of this dimension. Love the mind, the spirit partner to the physical self. Love the consciousness that spirit affords. Love the spirit that journeys with all spirits, all parts of the same magnificent whole. Love all thy neighbors as thyself.

Have love for the ego; it’s saddled with self importance. Nonetheless, it remains the ground zero general of this dimension. Realize it must face its petty tyrants in its struggle to be free. And what is freedom? Freedom is serving the true needs of self beyond the veils of illusion. Tall order. Love it well.

Wait patiently. All things change in time. But for things to truly change the time must be ripe. Be with the changes of now, however painful, as precursors, milestones of greater change to come. No need to overly suffer in these suffering times. Be in truth. Eat, drink, and find joy in even these darkest of times. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. A change is gonna come, be patient.

Be like the rainmaker who brings rain when she restores herself to the Tao. Find your way to calm and it will calm the world.

Peace,

Chuck

Take action when necessary, and yet let your actions be filled with heart centered knowing, loving attention, imbued with the right intentions. Sometimes it is right to do nothing but wait patiently, while at other times it is only appropriate to swiftly take action. In Tao there is a time and a place for everything, even that which might otherwise seem out of place. To be in Tao one must go with the flow by getting in alignment with what is and being appropriate, in all manner of speaking. In Tao it is always appropriate to be heart centered.

Protect yourself from that which drains your energy. Embrace that which enhances your energy. Certain things you do have been telling you for a long time that they are not good for you. You know what they are and yet you continue to do them. When you are finally ready to let them go, do so with gratitude for their having taught you something and for having advanced you to a new stage where you can be without them. Notice what is good for your energy and use it wisely so that it does not just become another energy drain, for even a good thing is not good in too much measure. Seek balance in all things, within and without, so that nothing is denied if it is necessary, and nothing is overly done if it is not really needed. Have that which is good for you in good measure and have not that which is detrimental. It can take a lifetime to work this out, but it is work well worth doing!

Seek steadiness and maintain it in the flow of everyday life, neither too much nor too little of life’s most important and necessary nourishments of body and spirit, and, likewise, neither too much nor too little of that which is pleasant and pleasurable to body and spirit and often deemed unnecessary. In the flow of life all must be acceptable in some measure and yet beware the trappings of that which curtails the flow, of that which sidelines and takes from the energy of growth and stability. In other words, go with the flow but keep a steady eye always on the goal, to achieve fulfillment of your body and spirit journey this time around. With hand upon your heart, acknowledge that this is the true goal. Accept your place as a human being in the flow of all that is, body and spirit taking the same journey, and with gratitude and love go with the flow of this day too.
