“If you live for the things of this world, that’s all you’re gunna get”
Lavette Hawkins
sitting in padmasana, while floating in my aerial hammock
My morning meditation ensues
intuitive sense of being inwardly stable at the core
while my physical energy form is spinning around a quiet and still inner axis
I can intuit feeling how the earth must feel wobbling on its axis
I ask myself, what is true?
I sit in Silence
no audible answer arrives
just an awareness that I exist in this moment
is that not enough?
with clarity that the awareness of this moment is beyond my understanding
I remind myself that I can’t see anything for what it really is
but there is a strong pull to look deeply at ALL relationships today (after all, it’s 12/12)
the One and the Other, the circle and the diameter, the Self and God
and I practice the last four stages of Patanjali’s 8-fold path:
Pratyahara, withdrawal of the senses
Dharana, fixing the mind to a single point
Dhyana, focused meditation where the subject and object are fully aware of each other
Samadhi, subject and object recognize each other as the same, and become One
I rest with an inner knowing that there is nothing more valuable than this thing we call Life,
even in our misunderstandings, our seeming errors, our untrue beliefs, and our non-life-enhancing actions
even these mistakes are of value although we can’t comprehend it from this perspective
I remember and re-cognize that it’s the only thing that Exists (this thing we call Life),
and that it is without beginning and without end
because the only REAL relationship is Life eternally experiencing itself as Life
“Live your life. If you have a gospel of truth, share it. And if it is true others will hear it. Be the good shepherd, and those that are supposed to hear your voice will hear it.”
