The Treasure

The presence of Love awakens something indescribable within each being. And therein, lies its beauty. :)

Love is always there. Maybe, it just gets clouded by all things unnecessary. Things that our opinions create. In its original and rawest form, what must Love look like? What must it feel like? Maybe it looks like a new born baby that exudes only Light and Joy. Maybe, it feels like dew on flowers, dancing and shining in early morning hues.

Love is always there. Our task is only to uncover what already exists. A treasure of joy within our souls.

Where does separation from Love exist? Only in our minds, never in our hearts. Our beautiful heart has been designed such that it can hold within it immeasurable Love. And yet, we spend most of our lives in complaint and not content, in anger and not awe, in jealousy and not joy, in fear and not faith, in judgement and not jubilance. The key lies within us, to the treasure we already possess and yet we turn outward for needless fulfillment. For it is essential to remember that, 'What lay before us and what lies ahead of us are small matters when compared to what lies within us''. 

And it is Love that lies within us. Always.

Recognise, Accept and Smile!

There is no separate self. 

One of the most profound and truthful statements I have read, by Eckhart Tolle. Suspending thoughts, beliefs, opinions and judgements about what is happening with us right now is probably the most peace lending exercise. Simply done, by taking a breath in and leaving it go. Your ego will put up a convincing fight and argument - ''This is important, it makes you YOU. It gives you identity. It is defining your life.'' 

Really?

We define our life. Not our ego. We have to learn to trust and let our True raw nature come to light as we let all else fall apart. Unnecessary, peripheral attachments that complicate our lives with mindless entities that ''seem'' so vital to our way of life. At every instance we need to stop and question - What is leading this thought/action/word? Is it my ego or my heart? We must remember to remember. Remember that the Law of Love and Gratitude will govern no matter what. That falls and pain are only temporary, just like peaks and pleasure. What is constant is our spirit and its ability to have faith. The Light within our true self, within our spirit is constant. And miracles that happen in the darkest of hours, more than often, are lit up by the oil which burns this Light within us.

This connection with our spirit only soothes, heals, cushions and teaches us that we are all here full of our own stories in our head which are distorted by judgements created with the help of each other. How quick we are to doubt, but how slow to trust. The fear that someone else holds the key to breaking you and your trust and your spirit. Know that the amazing power of the spirit is such that it feeds and expands because it draws from The Source, an energy so vast, which we cannot comprehend. You don't have to understand it, just know it. Accept it. Make room for that acceptance within your being. And then just let it flow. Know the Light of your spirit in your heart. Let the amazing, wiser laws take care of that which our limited, distorted, opinionated head tries so hard to control. 

A beautiful sentence I heard at church this Sunday (thank you Geoff for this one!) - We cannot comprehend the wonder of God, that's the reason God put Himself in our Heart and not our heads. :)

Our heads, our ego will keep trying to create resistance and give us reasons to fight. But your Heart and your Spirit will know that it's not what you're here for. The spirit knows that it is connected to everything around it. Recognise this, accept it and smile :)
