Ever feel like a stranger
in this vast and complex
world? The tiny speck that
we are on the awesome canvas
that Mother Nature has painted
can make us seem insignificant
and even feel lost in the bigger
picture.
We sometimes ask, "Why am I
here...and who am I?"
But that singular speck
that I am and that you are
adds a unique dynamic to
the whole picture, in the
way that artists add random
splashes of color and halations
(outer rings around an object
in contrasting and complimentary
colors) to give the painting
a visual liveliness and energy.
We are 'here' to add our own
unique energy to the whole
of which we are an interconnected
part. And, surprisingly, we CAN
experience that interconnection,
the wholeness, the Oneness...
and, paradoxically, that experience
opens the door to the pristine
awareness of why we are here
and who we are as a unique
'individual' spot of color
so necessary to the big picture.
And the startling 'knowledge'
that comes as a thunderbolt
in an instant rush of wisdom,
reveals to us how everything,
everything, everything works
together.
This breakthrough insight is
what authentic and enlightened
teachers speak and write of from
their own direct experiential
knowledge.
The most commonly reported
'posture' that seems to prepare
us for this awakening is...
you guessed it...
meditation.
One Love,
Jeff
