I have been allowing myself to be overrun by a hormonal upheaval lately. I got outta whack. Reading this book A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose has helped to pull me out of my self created mess but I have to say it is still a struggle sometimes.
Enlightenment comes and goes I think. ( That bulb above my head when i think is flickering perhaps) Maybe it takes time to really stay awakened to the enlightenment. Sort of like the foggy thinking you experience upon first waking in the morning. Clarity comes later... like with the first cup of coffee- you know? Maybe I am partially awake, stumbling clumsily through this new consciousness. Trying to see through sleep blurred eyes. I am trying.
The world is not doing things TO ME. Things are just happening and it is simple narcism that tells me it is happening to me. For instance... The cat took a dump over the side of his litter box. I ask WHY ME? Why did this have to happen to me? Well duh, it didn't. We should all know by now- as the bumper sticker so wisely tells us: "Shit Happens"!!! Yep, it happened all right- but not specifically TO ME. Sheesh you narcissist! Get over yourself! :-) See I get it. Kannon also ran off with one of my rocks yesterday. You know... my "lucky" rocks. I got all hacked off! THAT'S MY ROCK!!! Why would he touch and then even more heinously lose MY rock? I then come back to the lesson and remember. It isn't MY rock. It is simply a rock and now who cares if a rock is lost. All better. Why do we place importance on things simply because they are ours? Well, because we are human ego maniacs that's why. (Even better- I found my lucky rock this morning on Randy's side of the bed, right next to his house shoes. Got my rock back!!! (I am now cabbage patching.) (This too will pass.)Enlightenment is tougher when your handicapped by PMS. I have PMS issues not the inner me that is my conscience but the outer me with the dowdy physical form and mom hair- yeah, her.
Today was acupuncture so PMS all better.
I am eating healthier, carrying lucky rocks, doing my yoga, practicing positive thinking, and living in the NOW- "Being". Gosh. I am transformed.
Truly I think there is something amazingly eye opening in this book. Something that can gently help you to see what is so oblivious and yet that we miss so often. This book can help you find peace that is there for you- ALWAYS. It can bring light where you have only seen darkness before. It can also help you to realize how enlightened you already are... April- this is the book you need to go buy! Your gonna like this one!
Allrighty friends, beware of your ego. Think happy thoughts and believe in miracles. Get yourself a lucky something to help remind you to stay positive and stay in the moment. BE MENTALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO BE AND YOU WILL BECOME THAT. (If you build it they will come:-)
Be happy, healthy, wealthy, loved, and beautiful!
