Make Your Own Connection

Make Your Own Connection to the Source

Blessings flow and like attracts like; harmony abounds. Seek not and all is found. The present is an eternal flux that cuts through time like a blazing sword through tofu. Make sure you add plenty of spices to maximize flavor. It is not sinful to delight in abundance. What a wonderful thing to share this multitude of favors. Health is a gift and all else is gravy. It would be a sad thing indeed to waste the opportunity to make friends and create beauty.

Many in despair might falsely believe that they would give up this life. Countless stories have been told of someone seeking to end it all regretting the choice in the last moment. They do so because the contrast of death brings life into focus. It becomes clear how precious and delicate is this transitory happening. At the core of Zen is this remembrance. The end is always nigh. Very soon it will be over. Take the chance to dance.

A rose by any other name might be just as sweet, but a rose without a name has another level of luster. An experience without preconception is fresh and new. Coming into something attempting to conform reality to your tiny terms is like sailing a tugboat into a typhoon. Whatever we do, take solace in the fact that it was part of the inherent set of possibilities or else it couldn’t have been done. What the hell kind of crazy experiment is this anyway?

Come to Earth, make Love and have it all torn away. The only way it makes any sense is that eventually we will be let in on the gag. Just like fraternity hazing, God is kicking our butt. When we establish acceptance for that which is, and cease to believe so absolutely in the physical reality which can be scientifically proven not to be there, we begin to loosen up on the whole thing and are more able to make our own connection to the Source.

There is no reason to get overly serious about self and the implications thereof. A cosmic accident with an eye on the prize, humanity is abuzz with gossip. Looking at each other they wonder why they see not themselves. Yanking the speck out of their brother’s eye, they are constantly knocking planks. Point and laugh at the fool who says theirs is the only ‘correct’ way, for they are exposing the fact that they know not even step one on the path.

To differentiate between a true teacher and an imposter one must merely examine the fruit of the individual’s actions. How are people around them? Are they lifted up or torn down? Energized or drained? Do they seek to empower or enslave through control. Around a spiritual person will be many smiles. Too many Ego-maniacs get a sliver of occult power and then prance around like a master wreaking havoc for themselves and those around them.

The best originator of repentance is the understanding that harming others is harming your self. We must travel back the road of our own karma to find liberation. In every situation we have been hurt, we must bring love and on every occasion where we have hurt another we must find forgiveness. Sometimes this will be between you and the individual and other times it will be between you and the Universe itself. There is a spirit within everything.
