I am in a growth spurt... and sometimes when I am in one, it's hard for me to write.
It's not hard because I lack a topic.
It's hard because there are SO many topics and so many things as "work in progress" of getting figured out.
I need to just pick simple thoughts and share them, otherwise it becomes daunting to try to address. And, the beauty of this medium, is that we can discuss things in simple ways.
I am reading or have just finished...
Why Buddhism is True.
Creativity Inc.
Stroke of Insight
I am watching "Year of Manifestation" by Dr. Shefali Tsabary. It's one hour a week for an entire year.
I tie this together with the "Power of Kabbalah" that I read last Summer...
And, I am about to start reading "An Influential Mind".
Do you sense a theme?
I am understanding all of these connections and philosophies that start at the beginning of the universe and end in this and every moment in conversations between family members or colleagues.
I feel like it is ALL making so much sense.
AND, it is all so very much confirming the power of HARMONY, and giving me a greater understanding of WHY HARMONY is so very powerful.
I will start writing as best as I can, and sharing as best as I can the gist of the books...
Lightness and Darkness
Right Brain and Left Brain
Accountability and Blame
Harmony and Disharmony
There is a balance of good and evil in the world, and it is all divided by the same line. It is all a function of whether or not you are "in the flow" or "resisting the flow".
You can play this out to very Eastern Zen, wild and hard to relate to concepts... and you can play this out to very physiological brain driven behaviors that affect human relationships everyday.
I am trying to get my arms around all of it... and I am starting to understand the connection between ALL of it.
It is overwhelming and inspiring and intimidating and powerful.
I will leave you with this thought...
We are ONE... we are ONE energy... all of us and everything. The level to which we embrace that, we know joy, we feel happy, we progress, we grow... the level to which we resist that we fear, we feel anxiety, we struggle.
Harmony is about living every moment in a way that brings our WANT into ONE with our IS.
Disharmony is being disassociated from your IS... from yourself and seeing your WISHES as INDEPENDENT and SEPARATE from your IS and your moment.
Harmony is the discipline of constant reconnection with who you are, with your reality and with your wants...
Disharmony is the resistance, lack of acceptance or awareness of your IS...
Hang with me... we are going for a ride.
It ties in religion in the most relevant of ways. I feel like I am building for myself the bridge between spirituality and reality in a way that I have always WANTED but never understood.
I so very much saw spirituality as something independent of all else... and I am starting to see how related it is, intrinsic it is, essential it is to EVERYTHING else in my life...
Trying to leave the shore and explore new oceans...
I have always loved the ocean...
stay tuned...
in harmony,
Nestor
