↔ awakening of my spirit ↔
posted: Tue, Feb 15, 2005 05:28:15 AM
i guess it is time to move forward with my work because i find myself cringing at the metaphors presented in the daily readings. i do not disagree with this morning's reading on any point, i just find myself thinking 'there they go again!' and missing the point.
the point of the reading as i see it is, that i cannot have my spirit awaken to the world around me if i choose tro ignore the path before me. and yes the steps are that path. and yes as a result of the steps that i have lived my spirit was been awakened to a whole new world of possibilities. now my job is to carry my new found understanding out into the world, by carrying the message to the addict who still suffers and practicing these principles in all my affairs. the other understanding i have reached is that i NEED to continue the process or my spirit will slip back into the near death state it was in when i got here.
so what i guess i NEED to do is move forward and do what is in front of me.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
4) When things have attained their strong maturity they become old.
This may be said to be not in accordance with the Tao: and what is
not in accordance with it soon comes to an end.
