As we love ourselves, we move toward our own bliss, by which
Joseph Campbell meant our highest enthusiasm. The word entheos
means "god-filled." Moving towards that which fills us with the
godhood [or Buddha Nature, The Mystery, Pure Consciousness,
etc.], that place where time is not, is all we need to do to change
our world. Then we, naturally and without effort, love others
and allow them to move beyond their self-imposed limitations,
and in their own ways. The goal is to evolve to that place where
the energy that had been projected outward to correct the [them]
world is turned around to correct oneself - to find your own "track"
[rhythm] and to dance, in balance between the worlds.

Following your bliss, as Joseph meant it, is not self-indulgent
but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the
way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world
the very best that you have to offer.

ReplyDeleteThank you Danielle :)
DeleteBalance amid synchronicity seems not only a goal and personal sweet spot, but also the essence of how the universe functions. We are in similar themes this time around. :)
