Revised Jan’ 2016
Give attention and you will find that birth and death are one, that life pulsates between being and not being, and that each needs the other for completeness.
To hold on to one at the expense of the other is courting stress, pain, and suffering.
As each moment transcends to the next, it must let free to live in its natural state: eternal transition. Life depends on it; it is life – eternal life. Take any photograph, what you see is not true, not the experience. At best it is a reminder of an experience gone by, not to be captured. Any attempt courts death in frozen backward glances. It did what it was there for, experience, knowledge and growth. ‘Do not look back into the eyes of the beast lest ye be turned to stone’.
You are born to die and you die to be born. With non-attachment the fear goes, but not the fact. Willpower is neither servant nor master… it is at the very core of who you are; I am.
There is no compulsion to be born, you get what is willed. Feel the flow, follow the Will… it will take you home where you belong. Ignorance and fear may alter its course but the destiny, the outcome, remains the same. It may appear as a long and arduous journey but the outcome is inevitable; just as a river will always find its way to the sea, calm and eternal as it must, however devious the journey; bright and calm, dark and stormy!
~~~~~~~~~~
You cannot but act according to the way you see your world. Awake from ignorance, and your world will appear quite different and, as you see anew, your will and actions will follow… enlightened, kind and loving.
Your plans you make, and carry them out. Attentive you grow through investigation and experience. To learn demands that you be-here-now, otherwise you will be lost to misunderstanding, and forced to repeat the experience… until properly understood. If you are sensitive, intelligent and pay attention you need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of ignorance, carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.
