I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Everyones views are different i think.
Ive never been more moved or touched by simple words.
Im almost in tears at my desk here at work.
Well done!
But as the rate of suicide as well as the rate of depression and violence, plus a myriad of other issues, escalate in this world, we need to look at what the real cause is of all this.
This whole view of everything by it's parts. This dissecting of the world. It is magnifying the differences between things, when the differences is in a very small minority. This is true with people, religions, ways of life and anything else. We have to look at the whole of this. We have to put the whole of things first. We are not separate at all and are all connected so much more then we choose to believe. We have to heal our minds and stop thinking it is normal to have this divided mind.
The physical forms of this world are temporary and we have to see that and accept that. We have to stop investing our hearts in these temporary forms and then having our hearts be torn and broken when the form departs as it is supposed to. There is nothing more beautiful then experiencing something and knowing fully that is temporary, and letting go when it departs. Enjoying it while it is here and letting go so that we make room for the new beauty which will always follow. We see such fullness in the physical forms and never are we satisfied by them. We should see the beauty in the fact that the emptiness in the physical is the dominating characteristic. Learn something about atomic structure and you will see how true this is.
We have to get rid of all this pretense we teach our kids and stop the maddening investment in things that really don't matter. We worship the form and pay little attention to the content and thus feel the emptiness that we create. And the emptiness that is beautiful, which allows all to be, we become only frightened of it and fail to truly understand it's beauty.
We have to loose the fear which drives us mad yet is all based on our imagination alone. We are so filled with imagination (our thoughts and the feelings which result), that we have no room to take in all the beauty that this world is really filled with. Such beauty and abundance is waiting for you, you are standing so deep in it all, or more like a fish immersed in the water. Rarely or never seeing it at all. We are comfortable with sitting and watching a one dimensional movie in our heads, then we are turning around to see the multidimensional reality which is all around us, even though the one dimensional movie just causes us so much pain. The pain is a signal and not a condition. It is a lesson to be learned and be grateful for instead of resisted and repeated. Guilt is another signal, it is supposed to tell you something and you are supposed to learn, not sit and resist and feel bad about causing it to linger and repeat. Anytime you repeat something bad in life, an action, a feeling or a situation, it is because you refuse the lesson there.
We must stop trying to have this control which is such an illusion. We are so connected to others and this whole world, there really is no separation at all. Our influence on our condition is the very small portion of all the influences which govern our lives. yet if we surrender to this fact, the influence life has over us will never take us in a wrong direction. It is always our influence which takes us that way. Inside us is where all the true power, all the true life, all the true peace, all the real love resides, but it is not ours. It is more like all of ours. We must let it flow outward and stop trying to pull things inward. Give freely and more will come. If you let go of what you give completely, you will have the room you need to get all that you need. Wisdom, love, beauty, God, all things you could ever want or hope for are inside you, they do not exist outside yourself. When you see these things out side of yourself, you are only seeing the reflection of what is on the inside. This is true for things you hate or dislike. You are seeing part of yourself reflected in the outside world. We all have the tendencies for all things including the most horrific things. Denying this and ignoring this is to let the tendencies choose for themselves which one will dominate. To accept this and to shine the light of your attention inward, is to make the dark things and shadows shrink and disappear. That is the only true power we have.
This is the only true suicide prevention and cure for depression. We must not accept that we can't and see that we all can. we must wake up.
