DEATH

Image
DEATH         Most people are afraid of even the word.   Yet, death means new life, free life , free of pain, worries, anxieties... new birth. The Buddhists recommend visiting morgues so as to realize the brevity of life here on earth and the importance of living well.  Christians and, I think that all spiritual people, urge us to reflect on that same truth. EVEN DEATH IS NOT TO BE FEARED BY ONE WHO HAS LIVED WISELY.   Buddha DO NOT FEAR FOR I AM WITH YOU , DO NOT BE DISMAYED FOR I AM YOUR GOD.  I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU.    Is 41:10 WHETHER WE LIVE OR DIE, WE ARE THE LORD'S.     Rom 14:8 DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.    1 Cor 15:54 THE GRAVE IS ONLY A CURTAIN FOR THE PARADISE BEHIND.   Rumi LIFE AND DEATH ARE ONE, EVEN AS THE RIVER AND THE SEA ARE ONE.  K Gibran DEATH IS THE TRANSITION TO UNITY WITH ULTIMATE REALITY.  Thomas Keating THE OPPOSITE OF DEATH IS BIRTH....

SURRENDER...LET GO...ACCEPT

Image
SURRENDER is  not  giving up as when an army submits to the other side. Surrender means letting our Higher Self  (called the Universal Force/Flow by Singer) take control of our life.  For that to happen, we have to let go the voice of ego ( voice of resistance) chattering in our mind wanting to control events. For years I had been willing to let go of my personal preferences and focus on doing the absolute best I could with what life presented to me...a life built for me, not by me. Challenging situations create the force needed to bring about change. I was learning to sit quietly in the midst of the howling winds and wait and to see what constructive action was being ask of me.    Michael A. Singer from his book THE SURRENDER EXPERIMENT, 2015,  (post inspired by that book) If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.    Buddha Self conquest is really self-surrender.    Thomas Merton Can anyone of you by worrying...
