What is really going on?
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 3:26PM Some people tell you they sense time, as they understand it, is accelerating. They offer their perspectives and interpretations. They offer you opinions on world events. They use words to judge and describe and exert effort to pin things down. What do you see? What is really going on in the world? How do you sense things within yourself? Why the impulse to question? What happens as the thoughts cease?
What you choose to believe is what you believe. What you choose to have faith in is based on your focus and a lingering spark of doubt that things may not be going well. The mind tells you reality is one thing while the heart and soul whisper another. What about the Middle Way? Sense that place where contemplation stops. Be that now.
To ask what is going on is to quietly assume your own ignorance or lack of understanding. Notice what happens as you shift from a restless state of mind to a serene state of being. You see that fear and doubt underlie beliefs and faith. You shift attention into knowing and trusting all is well. Nothing happens. Nothing fazes you.
"The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express." -Francis Bacon
