Lesson 3
Pondering
It is through inward exploration that we find the treasures
of this life and its meanings. As we
move through the phases established by what we call time we stand in the mode
of creation. Creation of a life that is
set by our footsteps and choices. As we
continue to spiral down deeper into this physical façade we are longer who we
were, unrecognizable even to self. Yet a
small voice that lies deep within each of us whispers and we know that it is
time for a treasure hunt and we become the Seekers. Like all treasure hunts we must clear our way
to find the path that leads us to that treasure that we all seek after. Through the exploration and examination of
the rubble and debris that has masked our views of clarity we begin to sift
through what is still useable and what no longer will serve in our
purpose. Through this process of
exploration we are gifted small treasures that bring sparks of joy and leave us
longing to reach our goal. We move on
clearing the way and through these discoveries we may even be planting new
seeds to sprout and remind us of this wondrous journey we have ventured too. We begin to recognize that our life is
becoming lighter and less worrisome. We
can even breath more easily, yet we still hunger for the treasure that we are seeking
and know that only we have the true map buried within our own self. There in the mists of darkness and stillness
and small beacon of a spark shines brightly.
There rests our treasure, we have finally reached the place we have
strived for and when we step into the glow of that sparks light fullness
engulfs us and a true understanding and knowingness fill our essence that the
treasure has always been within and only a step away, hidden by the jungle we
created. Here is home, here is peace and
joy, here is true self, here is the collective oneness of all.
Meditation
When I read this I felt like I was talking to my
students. I tell them that reading gives
you knowledge yet knowing is only half of the gift of learning. The other half can only be obtained by
practicing what you have learnt. By
practicing and allowing it to become part of your daily routine, it soon
becomes part of you and a true knowingness takes place and an awareness that
can only be achieve through doing. One
will also be filled with the essences of true accomplishment in knowing that
their work and efforts has brought to them a precious gift of being true to
self and recognizing true self is a joy and blessing.
