the quickest way to this realization and it so quickly it doesn't require any
time
it's butter we've already pointed to here too many times tonight
and inner alignment with life life is now not to make this moment into an
enemy to say yes to it to welcome it to allow it to be that's really enough and
if you're still questioning the wisdom and still think why should I do that
whatever happens at any moment which is only the one moment whatever happens in
your life appears to be a separate event this happens and that happens but if you
look physicists who have studied who have looked beyond the surface
appearance of things found that the entire universe is interconnected the
actual what seems like a separation between different things does not
ultimately exist it is a web of interconnectedness the entire cosmos is
one everything is connected to everything else Buddhists have always
spoken of this two thousand four two thousand six hundred years of the
interconnectedness of all things and so if something happens at this moment
it cannot not be it is inevitable anything that is has an inevitability to
it because the entire cosmos has brought this event about so to not be aligned
with it internally is to cut yourself off from the flow of intelligence
that expresses itself as the universe and to be aligned with what is is to be
also in alignment with the one intelligence which then flows through
you and will affect what you do it will do through you you are not separate from
it that's when life gets so much easier I don't have to struggle with all that I
don't not the little I through the simple act of surrender which is
ultimately what we are talking about it if there's great beauty and power in
that only the little mises don't surrender surrender just to this moment
become aligned with that and see there is a beauty in everything even in death
because death happens the end of a form of form dissolves you become aligned
with that that is the spiritual practice that is the essence of all teachings if
you really look deep enough to live in alignment with life whatever form this
moment takes even if it seems to be a limitation on you which is often the
case I don't want to be here in this place I want to be somewhere else I
don't want to be stuck here I want to be somewhere else I don't want to I want
very often this moment can be perceived as a limitation and of course it in some
ways it is the body may become limited maybe the body may get old you can't
move anymore the way you did your very body can become a limitation there are
certain things that are they are and enormous change happens
when you accept them as they are not it is not defeatist not accept I am ill
just this moment not the idea of I am this or I am that only this moment you
need to accept oh just this and there's a beauty in whatever happens and with
that comes a gratefulness for what is it can be a gratefulness for
the tiniest things that otherwise you would have overlooked the gratefulness
was the table that you touch it's being the little flower a glass of water
not that you have to think I am grateful it becomes it's a natural way in which
you interact with the world you are grateful for what is the beingness
without self seeking seeking yourself in it and then your life improves
dramatically when the moment that gratefulness comes from whatever is
you're already abundant you already have abundant life the expression that Jesus
used I want you to have life and I want you to have it abundantly
jesus said abundant life he said the depths of life the depths of aliveness
he was not talking about more things not that kind of abundance he did not say I
promise you consumer goods and shopping malls
because when we speak of abundance we think more things know deeper so the
abundance even if you only have one object or two objects in your life you
give them attention you look you touch and when you give attention don't use
them as a means to an end or some kind of self story around it and say look at
me this is I'm certain certain age and all I can afford is this little table or
the opposite look how big my table is not that kind of attention no pure
simply to give something an attention without self just attention acknowledge
its being look at it touch it pick it up see it with immediately when you give
something attention the gratefulness comes with it an aliveness that's
abundance and then because it's the depths of a bundle that is abundant life
ultimately you're getting in touch with that which is beyond form in you and
then the forms in your life are little adings on icing on the cake not
necessary but quite nice when they come not that bad when they go that's the
play of form the dance of form then the dance as you leave here continues you
step out of here and the dance of your life and the forms of your life
continues why not participate in it it's not deadly serious when you don't need
this to be in a certain way anymore just play with the things of your life and
give attention to this just what is and there is a depth in what is
that's deeper than the form and that really gives the form its beauty its
aliveness the depth is in you yes to what is connects you with their depth it
seems so simple how can that be the inner yes to what is connects you with
that depth in you that is where you and the one life the one consciousness that
we could call God are one no separation formless form you are the bridge your
home is the formless but for a little while you move between the form and the
formless but you need to come to an acceptance of the forms in the now even
if they appear limiting accept first and then see what happens and they change
accept first no matter how limiting it seems the ultimate limitation is the
cross the crucifixion the cross how can one accept being crucified to a
cross can't accept that but this being that is you ultimately each one of you
accept it the most extreme form of limitation torture instrument the cross
the torture instrument said not my will but thy will be done thy will whose well
the we love the one that brought this event
about and the torture instrument suddenly became a symbol for the divine
and you don't need to be a Christian to understand that most Christians have a
limited understanding of what they means the torture instrument suddenly becomes
an opening and becomes a symbol for the divine they are one the greatest
limitation when totally accepted becomes the opening so if they still suffering
in your life and if there's a cute suffering in their life the greatest
limitation can become the opening but it may be that you don't need that much
suffering anymore you've had enough
you
