Knowing And Being

Hi Folks -

How are you doing?!

Life has as much ability to amaze and/or amuse us as we are ready to accept.

It also has it in it to pull us down, stomp on us and leave us in perpetual pain and ruin.

And it does this with supreme finesse, without moving a little finger.

Why will it waste energy when we eagerly do it all to ourselves?!!!

Smart. Very smart.

Life watches us.

Let it.

We know everything.

That we are spiritual beings on a short physical visit to this planet.

That that spiritual world is our real home.

With its 7 stages and all those planes and levels.

That we are learning lessons.

That others are taking an inordinate time to learn their lessons and what will happen to them?

Why don't they understand simple things about not hurting others, going after money, other people's people and - oh, so many things.

And yes, that we may not see them but there are these Chakras and Energy and Energy Stealers too.

Who would have even imagined these thingies ?

We know them all.

When we pick up a book on any 'spiritual' topic or hear someone talk, we know where it is going to go.

In fact, we can out-talk and out-convince anyone, including explaining in detail various excellent, uplifting meditation techniques.

A bit rusted in demonstrating, may be, but you know how busy and difficult life is.

Everyone knows.

So why the disconnect?

Because 'Knowing' is not enough.

Because 'Knowing' does not equal to 'Being'.

Knowing - and mere knowing, merely and surely inflates the ego and all balloons are desperate to fly high, to lose contact with solid ground.

Pictures of mansions, cars and jewels and the CEO's nameplate will not automatically give us those or make us one.

Virtual feasts do not satiate the gnawing hunger in our stomach.

Knowing slim, trim, healthy men and women will not make us so.

Food, clothes, money, homes, cars - they are tangibles we can touch and enjoy.

They make us do tangible jobs, sweat and get us physically tired while earning them.

They are the huge slabs of stones we build our life on.

They form the 'Knowing' part of life.

The 'Being' part comes as a binding which holds the structure firmly.

It is, to begin with, becoming aware of energy which is the base of everything, tangible and intangible.

Awareness sows the seed of action.

Consistency and perseverance will see to it that there is growth.

One's own experiences on the intangible spiritual path give a push, and after a while, silently, like the field it is, one 'becomes' spiritual.

Knowledge comes attached with intellect - we feel we need intelligence to understand all those high flowing fundas and difficult theories.

The path is so much clearer when we realize that we can actually keep our tiresome intelligence aside and start to feel, to experience.

To Be.

It is possible for each and every one of us and it is an exhilarating experience.

Do cross this divide.

Life is beautiful!
