Life is Full of Challenges

Mar 21, 2022 | Musings | 0 comments

Life is full of challenges, and this will never change. Once we fully understand that and let it go, we can get down to work on adopting practices that fortify us to handle challenges with grace. Getting back to the wisdom of the universe, if you can take the axiom that Universal Wisdom is channeled to us on faith, then your life is truly about to begin again. The wisdom of the universe is far more intelligent insightful and imbued with right action then any idea we can come up with in our own egotistical minds. In addition to conditioning our minds for a certain kind of study, we also need to learn to distinguish when wisdom is coming through us and when the ego is thinking for us. This is not easy to do. Nevertheless, it is a worthy practice to adopt. Any ideas that are laced with negativity are a form of resistance that the ego mind has created.

One way to discern ideas is through deep examination of its basis. Has our stillness practice taught us how to recognize negativity? What does that feel like in the body, “tightness?” An unsettled feeling? Yes, these are some of the features of negativity. I personally have found that when wisdom is coming from the universe, it’s almost as if it came from outside of me. Of course, I didn’t feel this at first; It took many years to create this awareness. I do find that when universal wisdom comes through and the idea is so novel and profound, I say to myself, “Wow, where did that come from?” And then I smile and I know. I quickly conclude that is the right action to take.

We cannot properly consciously manifest right action on this earth unless we have tamed the mind and learned how to stop thinking for the most part. It is just very exciting to contemplate that we simple beings will now be calling upon the infinite wisdom of the universe to guide our actions. The new consciousness is being manifested here on earth. A good question you can ask yourself is, “How can I prepare myself to bring benefit to this world?” It seems to me that as awakened beings we have a new daunting responsibility: to bring consciousness into everything we do. By doing so, we are declaring that we recognize things are as they are and it is Dukkha to resist them. In doing so, we are honoring connectedness between all living things between all things that reside on this planet and in this universe. As we move out with our commitment to awakening, let’s keep in mind that the true wisdom the eternal truth of the universe comes through us when we are still. Or when our minds are still. Learn how to discern the difference between the ego mind coming up with an idea and the universe sending you an idea. Your actions on this planet will be duly fortified depending on which thoughts you choose to act upon.
