Coming Out....Spiritually Speaking!

     Can one honestly say my primary goal in life is internal, awakening to the Self that I am and all else is secondary? Can one let every desire drop quickly, like water cascading over the rocks of a waterfall? Can you honestly "come out" with your spirituality? Of course one can!  Dropping every thought that desires a situation to be different, is the perfect place to start with "coming out" with your spirituality!

Time out!..literally.

     Time in the external world happens in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years...last year, next year, today, tomorrow, yesterday, in a sec, in a minute etc. We compete with time, compete with ourselves,  each other, as nations, cultures, etc.The external world always categorizes time. Our lives are made up of and broken into time. And in time... we run out of time. The wish for more time and the acknowledgement "not enough time." Egads...time out, literally!

      We are born into time but we are not of time. Take time out of the picture and we have timelessness. Take away time and who are we? We are timeless, eternally timeless. Don't make this hard to believe.See how we are attached to time. See "who" is attached to time. Go through one day and see how the idea of time has us functioning all within a time frame...even if you are taking time out of your day for yourself, its still time!  Can you see that the nature of time is just an idea?  An idea that has us running to be on time, make time, set time, create time, etc.What is born or made in time in form is limited, you are not limited. Take time out, literally, and see what is there... I am suggesting here not to negate time but to look deeply to the attachment to time...

External Changes...internal Changeless!

    

Here in the Northeast we are in the throws of witnessing the transitional change of the Fall season. The beauty of change in; color, transcendence, movement, sounds, tastes and smells, along with the subtle and large changes with our own adaptability to this change escapes no one. The fall season is a pulse that is frequent with gentleness and temperament. This all happens externally and you are a witness to it all.

Internally there is no change. There never is. As a witness to the external, can you go internal and sense a quietness? The changeless quietness is there, as real as the external ...even more real, because that is what you are. Even if you sense nothing internally believe it is there. Embrace the changes and smile with delight with the changeless!
