All of us are like eagles who have forgotten we know how to fly and are trapped in our nest of old food, excrement and stale air. We need to let go of everything and step to the edge of our nest and soar. The ancient teachings remind us of who we are and what we can do.
Once you realize the learning you need is found within yourself, you shift your attention and then you learn to tap into your true spirit. If someone had told you what to look for, you might never be sure of your experience. When you get a glimpse of the source, there is no doubt.
If you want to become a better person, study that which serves the nature of life and then offer it to the world. If you study with devotion and wholeheartedly, all things in the universe will be in harmony and everything in your life will reflect this practice.
Think about what you are doing and look at your long-term priorities. You may want to wait for the right time rather than leap at the first opportunity. If you want and desire without consideration of the consequences, this could lead to all kinds of entanglements.
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine. – Emerson
