In modern culture, we are told to forget about “doing” and concentrate on “being.”
As if we’re supposed to be sitting around in our lives, locked in lotus position, doing nothing, no thing. Yet this is a misunderstanding. We are not meant to slack, to waste life, to hang back, to not experience. We are meant to have a life rich with a variety of experiences, so that we are continually expanding our understanding of our self in the world. Being doesn’t not mean not doing. It means not “doing” things mindlessly. Not “doing” things that are by rote, that are not well considered, that are old, that are of the past, that are unconscious, that are not conscious, that are not who we are. Often it means “doing” many things: as many as you like. But it means “doing” them from a state of “being,” a state of consciousness, a state of wonder and awe and pain and grace. So that you do the dishes in mindful awe. You go to a coffee shop in conscious connection. You do your work in gratitude and service. You show up to relationship with patience. You do the unpleasant tasks with compassion. You laugh, more than not. You hold humorous and loving perspective, more than not. You relax and take it easy, even when you are most active. You come forward, in a fully relaxed state. You show up fully, in a full state of being. Do you see the difference? Between hiding out in “being”: hiding in states of relaxation that really are a way of pulling more armor around your heart? And showing up fully in “being,” in all and every activity you choose to engage with. Much love, SARA P.S. Registration is OPEN for Intuition University WINTER 2024! On the one hand, you are eternal soul.
Time is meaningless, when you are infinite. On the other hand, you’re living in a human container. And for your human self, at least during this time on earth, the clock is ticking very quickly. You have seen this happen already; one moment you are young and fresh, the next moment the body has changed. You may pass a mirror, and find yourself staring at a person you do not recognize. How has this happened so quickly? How does the body soften and sag and falter? How has this happened: so many years passed, with so little accomplished? Ttime presses forward, and in doing so, time presses you forward. The clock ticking urges you to use every moment, to hold every moment in your hand like the precious commodity it is. Every moment you waste being numbed out, bored, disengaged, distracted, unhappy, enraged…. you do not get this time back. Time marches forward, to encourage you to march forward also: be in your life! Not by busyness or “to dos.” But by becoming fully engaged, with every moment that arrives. Fully here in this moment. Fully here in the next moment. Your whole life a beautiful string of pearls, an exquisite necklace of being. And it’s all yours for the creating! All you have to do is say yes, and move forward without hesitation. Much love, SARA P.S. Registration is OPEN for Intuition University WINTER 2024! You will understand that this lifetime is a container of time for you.
At the beginning of your soul’s journey, you think that you can make every choice, have every experience, do everything all the time. This is your life not only when you are young, but when you are older and insatiable for the “must do,” the schedule, the distraction, the drama. Yet when you get to a certain place of understanding, you will realize that you are here for your particular lessons, your particular contract. And that’s the most important thing. You can’t taste, see, experience, sample everything. You’re not supposed to. You’re here to find your meaning. So don’t dither and waste your time in entertainment, in numbness, while the journey still calls you. The shadows are falling differently already. Get up. Begin what gives your life meaning.
