A new relationship

“It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.” 

― Ken Kesey, Kesey's Garage Sale

We're told that to change our lives it requires grit, fortitude and peseverance.

Perhaps it does.

My experience is different.

We need look within and understand three things:

1. Everything changes;
2. When we make emptiness form, we suffer; and
3. When we let go and stop clinging or pushing away, we allow everything to exist in perfect harmony.

There's nothing knew in what I'm saying. Indeed, this is pure Buddhist scripture.

But too many of us never go far enough in our self-enquiry: the reason the world is so angst-ridden is because said humans take seriously what the Gods made for fun, i.e. our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Take care.

Blessings,
