Where Life Flows

 Love says 'I am everything', Wisdom  says,' I am nothing'. Between the two, my Life flows.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Keep an eye of February 12th's entry.  It is so interesting to see what happens when we lose our attachment to story and conceptual detail; when we go from pointing a finger outward to owning our own experiences.  It is never about the comings and goings of the very stuff of Life that determines our experience ...but of our internal world response to it. 

Do you get so lost in the details of external circumstance that you cannot see "Self" beyond it? Are you so focused on what others are doing or not doing, that you fail to see what you are doing or not doing to make your life all it can be? 

Circumstances and people are going to flow past us and through us all the time.  Sometimes they will seem like everything, sometimes nothing. The thing is not to get caught up in that external flow but to recognize the beauty and perfection of the internal one. Life is the perfect balance between love and wisdom.

Just let things pass through you!  Sure people are going to do silly and crappy things in their unconscious need to protect ego...or an external view of self.  Just know that is not who they are. People are going to make assumptions and judgements about you.  Just know that is not who you are. You are also going to do foolish and awful things to protect your ego; you are going to make assumptions and judgements...this is not you either.  So don't get too attached!

Just watch it all without getting too hung up on any of it.  

Ego likes a long detailed story to rationalize why you are seperated, alone, needing to defend and attack.  Just recognize that is what ego does and begin chipping away at the "story", the "drama" it creates.  It is amazing how much lighter we feel, how much more open we become to the experience of Life when we let go of detail and external world blame. 

Try it for yourself.

All is well.
