Thursday, July 11, 2019 Focus for today: I flip my lens of perception and view my everyday experiences of life as all being "grist for the mill" on my journey of awakening. Look at the way we "live" our lives. Ours is a heavy drama. We grasp for what we don't have, like the "perfect" relationship or the "best" job. We resist what we do have, like our daily challenges to accept life as it comes. We aren't even happy when we get what we want, because we are human beings living in a world of form and time, and thus everything ultimately changes. If we cling to anything, this attachment to the status quo will ultimately create for us an experience of suffering. The purpose of the game is really to be free; not avoiding or seeking, but using everything that comes to us in our world of physical form as our curriculum to achieve liberation. This is playing the game as impeccably as we can, and yet not being attached to the results of what we do. It's called "being in the world, and not of the world", because a part of us knows it's not real, even though another part pretends it is. We have a choice to flip our lens of perception and view our everyday experiences of life as all being "grist for the mill" on our journey of awakening. Rather than cataloging and labeling our experiences as good or bad, depression or elation -- we can view everything as input into our computer of experience: The more input we receive, the more skillfully we can respond to future situations. Excerpted from the InnerSelf article: Living Life To The Fullest: Why Buddha Is Always Smiling |
