Whenever you’re trying to do something big, like get a project off the ground, or lose weight, or quit an addiction, or shift the way you relate to someone, it helps to remember that you can get there with small steps.
Working on your project every day after your regular work, will get you closer. Resisting wine or sugar or porn or whatever your addiction is, just for one day, will get you closer. Being kind to someone you have trouble relating to, will get you closer. We sometimes think we have to leap from Point A to Point B, when we’ve only just started out. But all it really takes is small steps, one after another. You can even go off the path now and then, or take a break and get back on it. With small steps over time, you can look up one day and see that Point B is much closer than it ever has been. This lifetime, it's not a race. Many of our understandings, perhaps even most of them, won't even arrive to us in this lifetime. We many need many, many lifetimes to get to Point B. The idea is to see how far we can get. Big steps, small steps... it doesn't matter. Just keep walking the path. Much love, SARA Hate is a strong feeling, and it’s a hard feeling to hold.
That's because hating someone or something makes us feel terrible; it causes us a lot of pain. What's more, even though we think hate might be the opposite of love, it’s not. Hate is caused by love. Love is about connection in an unconditional way; hate is about lack of connection in a conditional way. For example, we hate people who have betrayed us, we hate people who have injured us or let us down. Hate is about wanting to love, and being open to love, and then for whatever reason, having that opening into love being shut down. Hate comes from the pain of not having love. When you’re dealing with hate in your heart, look at what’s really there. It’s not anger, it’s not fear. It’s pain. If you find yourself in that place, take a break from hate for a moment, and acknowledge that you are feeling pain. Getting the hate out, is about feeling the pain, and then feeling compassion because you’re a human, and so is everyone else. If you can move into a state of compassion, the hate will dissipate, even if it’s just a little bit. Over time—maybe months, maybe a lifetime—you can remove it entirely. Much love, SARA A beloved student who had a terminal illness, wrote to me that she was experiencing meditations that contained extraordinary creatures and flowers, magical animals and colors that were the greatest delight and comfort to her.
She wondered if it was okay to dive into this great delight, this heavenly experience in meditation. She wondered if this was serious enough work; if it would help her in her expansion. In truth, this is one of the best uses of mediation: to bring us into states of rapture, delight, exhilaration, euphoria, nirvana, bliss. Sometimes we expand so much in this bliss state, we can’t quite make out what we are seeking or feeling: it's all a state of energy. Sometimes this state is very specific: we see beautiful creatires, color, animals, spirit beings in detail, with vivid understanding. When you meditate, don't hesitate to enter int to this heavenly spot, this nirvana, this delightful other world! Remember: heaven is right here. We don’t have to transition, or in any kind of altered state to find it. We can experience nirvana any time. This beautiful experience of magical animals, beings, colors, flowers, fairy folks and all that arrives in this state of blissful meditation, is designed to help us free our minds to new realities.
