We get caught up in looking for certainty and happiness rather than honoring what is happening right now. If we run away from discomfort and pain, we will be unhappy and disappointed. Touch the center of your pain, stay present to the ache of loss or disappointment, this is the trick.
In our actions we make arrangements that have a center or orientation, but all structure and orientation is arbitrary, it all depends on the observer and where it is observed from. However, our center resides in our consciousness, but there is still no absolute measure.
Living life is easy of you don’t cling to good and bad, let go of preferences and everything will become clear. We cannot remain indifferent to the suffering of the world; we all need to increase our service along with our understanding using our natural attributes of awareness and action.
The ancients believed divination could reach the truth by moving through illusions of separation and piercing the dividing lines between mundane and spiritual experience. In those now-distant-times divination was chosen over discussion in settling matters.
Quote: The secret of happiness you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less. Socrates
