Leading A Fulfilling Life

We look around us and see angst, anxiety and oneupmanship everywhere. Why is this? People live dual lives; one is for the outer world to impress others, while the other finds this duality unfulfilling.

This isn’t a criticism – it’s how we survive, by putting ourselves in boxes. 🙂

Through the practice of meditation – letting go of all concepts – we realise we are that which is outside the box – pure consciousness which dissolves the mental construct of self importance.

We, as pure consciousness, become one with the plumbing, repairing windows, listening to others … We are not judging or over-reacting, but allowing the situation to tell us all we need to know. The result may not be perfect, but the attitude is. The inner contentment of ‘good enough’ means that we no longer have to live to the standards of others.

This will not change the world or other people; change is for them to decide. Detachment is neither accepting nor rejecting – it is merely noting.

We can lead a creative life, seeing evil as our teacher, and not our enemy. The enemy is our own clinging to ideas. 🙂

Meditation is anger management.

Bring to mind someone you dislike.
Where is the anger?

It’s all in the mind.
