Our Nature

Are we really so different?

Maybe the art of chewing is different, but then when it has to go past this point, are there different ways? No. Swallow. I’ve seen Japanese do it, I’ve seen Indians do it. I’ve seen Americans do it—and I have seen people who didn’t do it and were very sorry. Some live in tall towers, some live underground, some live in cheap housing, some live in expensive housing, some live in good areas, some live in bad areas, some live here, some live there, some live in Ireland, some live in America, some live in Canada.

But when it comes to breathing, do we not all need air? Are we really so different? Are we? Are we that different that we say, “No, no, no. Your God, my God, this God, that God.”

All the reasoning that we have, in this reasoning, we haven’t reasoned our nature. We have not incorporated our nature. That there, indeed, is such a thing that if it was connected with us if our consciousness was plugged into that, that it would bring not just joy, but Supreme joy. Tops. Joy unparalleled.

And methinks that that’s what we should be passionate about.

A Little Consciousness

Everything will change because it is its nature. It is changeable. Focus in your life on the unchangeable.

Focus. Don’t lose your focus. Don’t lose your focus. Time wasted is time not recoverable in your life. And if you lose focus, that time will surely be wasted.

Keep in perspective what is real. Keep in perspective what is important to you. Keep in perspective the understanding of what life is and how precious this life is. It takes the least amount of effort to stay in focus. Lamenting takes more energy than you can possibly realize.

To be in focus, to be conscious just takes a fraction of a second. But feeling bad after you have made a mistake can take years. One second of clarity can save you years and years of torture. So, pick one. Is one second of clarity really that hard? No.

What is consciousness?

To be conscious. To be aware. A little consciousness, a little clarity, can save you tons of heartaches.

Appreciation

Appreciation is preparation for joy.

Celebrate

What happened today? You're alive. A day came in your life.
The best thing that could have ever happened. It came.

Celebrate.

Celebrate in the real joy that resides within you.
