No two spiritual paths are the same. Mine has had many
influencers over the years. A quick brainstorm
this morning generated the following key points:
·
Start:
o
Make time ‘to stand and stare’ (or ‘just sit’)
o
‘Stop the mind from wandering’
o
Be mindful of fleeting thoughts and feelings –
be the witness
o
Let the mundane mud settle – appreciate the inbuilt
clarity
·
Engage in basic conditioning:
o
notice what your are noticing – be the witness
o
accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative –
be the director
o
take time to mindfully respond rather than mindlessly
react
o
Just sit; drop off body and mind; calm down
·
Consider and appreciate:
o
Interbeing and connectedness (eg biogeochemical
cycles)
o
Multicause and multieffect (from quantum to
cosmos)
o
the impermanence of all created things
(yin/yang)(birth/life/death)
o
the Oneness (vital force) that manifests in so
many ways (evolution)
·
Experience:
o
the joy/bliss that accompanies the non-egoic state
o
the joy/bliss that accompanies being out of space
and time
o
the inadequacy of words to communicate the
nature of joy/bliss
o
the ‘higher/better/wiser’ thoughts and feelings that
originate in the unconscious (the numinous muse)
o
the present moment as a wonderful moment (your
true home and refuge)
