Awakening sense

digital disaster (pt.2)

The "analog" continuity of our heart flows without a break.  But a frantic mind (see pt.1) constantly intrudes and interrupts. The "digital" staccato beat of thoughts then create gaps in that flow.

This is a setup for a digital disaster if the heart becomes totally neglected.......

The heart's current is continuous, reflecting wholeness. It becomes a clear mirror to the Beloved One. Then our "worry machine" with its self-limits is bypassed. Then our prison mentality yields to an inner confidence and trust in our Already Awakened Self.

digital rat race (pt.1)

Mind usually moves across digital stepping stones connecting one thought to another. To compress the distance between thoughts we resort to electronic leverage...........more connectivity through faster computers...........web 2.0 applications morphing to web 3.0 and beyond.

What we seek is immediacy; what often ensues is a digital rat race. Hopping from one shortcut to another creates a traffic jam of unfinished business. The intervals between thoughts get cluttered.

Why the hurry?

In those intervals are doorways to rich fields of awareness..........where the knowing of the heart resides (see pt.2). 

death's leverage

Leverage is a much sought after commodity........how to have more results with less effort.

But what about leverage that death can provide? With enough levers Archimedes could move the world, but how to get a grip on death?

The more our physical end is made our ally, the more vital our living. This powerful friend can be put to great use-------an aid to abandon who we think we are to the ever-present gift of the Awakened Beloved within.

insecurity blankets

It's called a security blanket; children have them and we still carry them. It cushion us from the world's shocks. But what begins as a comforting association becomes something quite different...........a fabric woven of our worries, fears, and self-imposed limits.

At this point it might well be called an insecurity blanket.

This blanket is very tightly gripped. It grounds us in our anxieties and imaginations; not the type of grounding usually recommended. Rather than protecting, it deadens us to the world. 

Unfortunately this also insulates us from the pull of the Awakening Self. Isn't it time to let go of our insecurity blankets? Isn't it time to allow ourselves to be touched by a new current of life?
