BE first, then ACT

As I was enjoying my chicken briyani I reminded myself [so as not to be so attached] that I am a Soul having a physical experience of eating a chicken after kicking its Soul out of its body and cooking its carcass ... hmmm ... that kind of put things into perspective. What am I about? What is this earth life all about? How sound are all of its spiritual ideologies? We buy into it without even thinking through. If it is spiritual it must be right. Now expanding on this topic then ok I won't eat chicken. Then what? Can eat plants? Don't they feel? Experiments have proven that that they do - just a thought of cutting them makes them cringe. Ok I won't eat plants. Then, eat what? Answer this and I will follow you to Earth's End...

On letting go - Dr David Hawkins



On Completely Letting Go           [Dr. David Hawkins, I: Reality and Subjectivity]
"People wonder, "How does one reach this state of awareness," but few follow the steps because they are so simple.
First, the desire to reach that state was intense. Then began the discipline to act with constant and universal forgiveness and gentleness, without exception. One has to be compassionate towards everything, including one's own self and thoughts.
Next came a willingness to hold desires in abeyance and surrender personal will at every moment. As each thought, feeling, desire, or deed was surrendered to God, the mind became progressively silent. At first, it released whole stories and paragraphs, then ideas and concepts. As one lets go of wanting to own these thoughts, they no longer reach such elaboration and begin to fragment while only half formed.
Finally, it was possible to turn over the energy behind thought itself before it even became thought."

Just a quiz - yet the second paragraph explains what I feel at this point in my life.

You have a uniquely creative personality!

The main things in life for you are your intuition, wisdom, joy, satisfaction and curiosity. The world for you is full of mystery, and is made up of so many different things, situations and people which are all constantly stimulating your imagination. Your life is painted in a multitude of beautiful colours, and you're always looking at it through the prism of creativity. You can turn anything that happens to you into something positive, and you never look for simple answers to life's questions.

You live your life in constant anticipation of experiencing something new and wonderful.      However, at the moment you feel a lot of aggression inside. It's possible that recently you've been experiencing a lot of negative emotions and have the desire to finally resolve something that's been bugging you for a long time. You need to calm down and relax. The time has come to do something new. You have the ability to draw a huge amount of strength from yourself, whilst at the same time remaining a tender and loving person.
