Favoring Yourself and the Dream To Overcome

"A little consideration of what takes place around us every day would show us that a higher law than that of our will regulates events; that our painful labors are unnecessary and fruitless; that only in our easy, simple, spontaneous action are we strong... Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

To see that less of is more. That to side my self with truth is greater than giving up or surrender. Oh yes, this may be a starting point, but it is also involved with an effort, a fighting as such. To allow oneself to truly float in the stream of "power and wisdom," one has to withdraw for a moment, take a deep breath and relax, in a heightened awareness and co-existence with the body. A vision, as such, of effortless, non-directed purpose. Just exist as one is, for a moment, so as to allow for something new. The more I discard the Will's attempts to create an action, the greater my contentment and presence of Truth. blessings, r
