This comes from my favorite book, it
is called "Das Energi" by Paul Williams
(not the songwriter). I've owned over 20 copies of it (given them
all away), but can find the book in the most unlikely places when
I most need it. It is the closest thing I have to a holy book.
I was introduced to this book by the
person who initiated me, we were lovers at the time had would
take turns reading page after page. One page has only the words
(smack dab in the middle of it) "DO IT!".
This is my favorite passage, It is
not always where I am, but it is where I working to be. I think
and hope you will find this both inspirational and useful. Enjoy...
Sooner or later
a person begins to notice that everything that happens to her
is perfect, relates directly to who she is, had to happen, plays
its little role in fulfilling her destiny.
When she encounters difficulty, it
no longer occurs to he to complain - she has learned to expect
nothing, has learned that loss and frustration are a part of life,
and come at their proper time - instead she asks herself, why
is this happening? ... by which she means, what can I learn from
this, how will it strengthen me, make me more aware? She lets
herself be strengthened, lets herself grow, just as she lets herself
relax and enjoy (and grow) when life is gentle to her.
Strengthened by this simple awareness,
that life is perfect, that all things come at their proper moment,
and that she is always the perfect person for the situation she
finds herself in. A person begins to feel more and more in tune
with her inner nature, begins to find it easier and easier to
do what she knows is right. All chance events appear to her to
be intended; all intentional actions she clearly perceives as
part of the workings of Chance. Anxiety seldom troubles her; she
knows her death will come at the proper moment; she knows he actions
are right and therefore whatever comes to pass as a result will
be what is meant to happen.
When she does feel anxiety, she realizes
it is because of that thing she's been meaning to do but hadn't
done, some unfulfilled relationship she's been aware of but ...
She perceives the anxiety as a message that she'll have to stop
hesitating if she wants to stay high... She knows that she is
out of tune because she's let herself get out of tune; and because
she knows she can, she begins to take action. She enjoys he high
life; does not enjoy anxeity; so she stops hesitating and does
what she has to do.
She does not live in a state of bliss, though perhaps she feels
herself moving towards one - toward something, she doesn't know
what it is but it is the way she has to go, the journey towards
it is the only life she enjoys. It is hard; it is exciting; it
is satisfying, lonely, joyous, frustrating, puzzling, enlightening,
real; it is her life, that's all. She accepts it.
