Here is a thought I wanted to share today. It is quick, but very important. The audio explains things, but remember to forgive yourself and others. Don’t carry the past, it is too heavy. Don’t lift the future, it has not happened yet. Give yourself permission to live now.
It is the unknown. The unknown of the EGO. You see, We are spiritual beings, we are only temporarily in this human life. We are in this life to work through things, to figure things out, to grow and realize our spiritual selves. We then graduate back to the all, to God.
We have built an identity in this human life. This is who we are! But it is not, it is only who we are in the physical realm. We are so much more. We worry about what happens when we die. Where will we go? Is this all there is? Will we be with friends and loved ones? Will we be in paradise? will we be punished?
These are all natural questions of the human condition. That is why we practice and work with our spiritual nature, to get these answers. And the answer is both simple and complicated.
We are one with God. We return to God once our work is done. We can sense God, and be in a relationship with God. But true understanding is above our human mind’s knowledge.
We both know and don’t know. Once you are on your journey, you will understand that.
For those not yet on their journey, fear of human death is somewhat normal. For those on their spiritual journey, the fear fades as we know we are already One with God. All is good. Right?
Well, we are still all human here. Some days will be clearer than others. When stresses of the world build, we doubt. We fear. That is why it is so important to center yourself in prayer and meditation everyday. To practice mindfulness. Practice breathing in long checkout lines. Practice calm when someone is confronting you.
The show has started. The first episode of Zen Audio Journeys is now live. A bit of music, and a brief history of my spiritual path. Check it out and come along on the journey with me. Cheers!
