Awake to the Presence of the Eternal Being that lives this life...
Awake to the Presence of the Eternal Being that lives this life...
- the Life that animates all life...
I want to See everything as Living Aliveness;
with the same innocent wonder and amazement
as I did as a child, as if seeing Life living for the
first time...

I want to be in Love with life again -
if I ever was...
if I ever was...
Maybe loving, and living life in new ways...
I want to Hear
the laughter of Life

in my Heart.
I want to Experience the Euphoria of
Life ItSelf, living ItSelf
in all its unfolding luminosity,
in the every-day-ness of life...

without

or suppress it,
or correct it
before it is expressed.

Let me be free from entanglements
of the mind that keep me compliant
and complicit with the world's ways...
I want to risk not following the rules,
the protocols, the agendas of others;
the well-worn paths.

THIS IS SO WONDERFUL AND TIMELY!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR SHARINGS ON THIS MYSTIC MEANDERING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothea! So good to see you here... I haven't been over to your place in a while, but I love your offerings as well!
Deleteits a brave enlightens view.. as a vision, an image of being there is a lot to admire. With clean lines. It is the life of the mystic and religious leader
ReplyDeleteBut in our humanness we are mammals with social and biological entanglements .. it is so messy living with the reciprocal obligations of living daily life.
I want to:
" Experience the Euphoria of
Life ItSelf, living ItSelf
in all its unfolding luminosity."
within that messy daily life
If I could figure ohow to do both... have it all
Hi Debbie - Yes, life is *still* very messy for me as well. Many mornings I wake up with dread, and of course have to deal with all those mundane issues of daily life, including my health issues, which I have also written about. But these glimpses of Bliss and Euphoria come through unexpectedly in spite of all that - they just happen. I have not "figured anything out."
DeleteMy experience is that life includes it all - the totality of our experience here: the mundane/ordinary daily life and the ecstatic experience of our Eternal Being. Some get these little epiphanies from time to time. Don't know why, but it happens that way for me...
The other day I was out doing mundane errands and suddenly in the car on the way home I started feeling a sense of euphoria, as if a flood of endorphins had been released in my brain.
It's inexplicable really... I just have to trust it and keep going, one foot in front of the other, one day at a time; still just an ordinary person wanting to experience the fullness of what's behind this ordinary life... :)
Thanks for your wonderful comment!
