Neither Here, Nor There

Jan 29 2002

- always be amazed at the divinity of life
- SEE the world
- be aware of the MIRACLES about
- mundane/medicore perceptions of "things" leads to an "empty" view of the LIFE and WORLD
- we are comfortable and happy with the way things are
- life has become focussed on being DISTRACTED by worldly concerns
- wishing doesnt "work" disipline and action can
- we are TOO SCARED to to act
- DO IT (some thing different) or stay the same
- be aware of all that we ARE and DO
- no light with out dark
- no joy without pain
- ignoring/denying one extreme excludes the other
- our "SEARCH" outside for peace/happiness would be more fruitful if directed inwards
- the happiness we have is a comment on our ability to make "good decisions" 
- happiness comes from a true clear perception (not ignorant) of self
- ALL aspects of oneself must be acknowledged attended too
- unresolved "emotions" will attract (act like a channel) more of the same 
- the way you translate life is the way your life will be
- a turbulent mind prevents peace and clarity from coming
- "personal fiction" prevents reality coming thru
- life is risk but for us life has come about reducing risk
- more risk more adventure
- style/method of perception dictates the way we live
- sensual (surface) facilties must be complemented by spiritual facilities
- love the essence (spirit) not the form
- spirit is not space and time bound
- achievement must also be spiritual not only physical
- inspirational life needs clarity not complacency
- meditation is practice of "coming to senses"
- fixed views / this perception is correct, does not allow new and other views to be considered
- thinking (di-chotomy) does not allow becoming at ONE with..........
- recognize alternatives INTUITION is neglected
- fear rules our decision making
- teachers must be INSPIRATIONAL 
- associate with those we aspire to be like
- the PRESENT is "neither here nor there" ???
