Wow...............a 10 week old kitten found me, picked me out..................and MADE me take him home. It has been a while since I have seen such GODNESS shining unabashedly through a living being.
When I look at him, I see GOD. When I listen to him purrrrrrrrrr, or feel his little tongue on my skin, when he head-butts me, when he snuggles up with me on my pillow.........I feel that God-ness is filling me up. He is magical, pure, innocent, joyful, trusting, courageous even when he is frightened.............he is a living example of how all humans need to live. He is how I wish to be.
Joy, all in one simple leaping, pouncing, prancing, pooping, ball chasing precious little bundle.
I believe this simple JOY filled Spirit is apparent in all of us at some point in our lives..............where does it go, how is it shattered and shuttered. Does it have to be? Is our Spirit so pure and our heart so open when we come into this dimension that the pain living all around us causes us to close in stages............or slam shut all at once.
Perhaps. What is the key to "Opening," once again...........and living that way?
I believe we all call it Enlightenment. Few of us have achieved it, yet perhaps more than we know actually HAVE and LIVE it. They are the humble janitors, the Handicapped, the homeless, the Downs Syndrome kids, the dying and those being birthed; the simple people who walk among us. Perhaps they are alive and well in the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, or Australia, Thailand or America...................or perhaps these spirits live in the bodies of Whales roaming our precious Seas.
"The Journey through life." Are we able to OPEN and LIVE with this purity constantly shining through. Can I do it? Can you? Will we spontaneously combust?
What is this feeling I often have............tears of JOY falling......not sorrow. It feels like JOY and I do not understand why it is so strong at times. Sometimes I feel handicapped with it..........as if the Joy is so complete that I cannot function in this world. So I attempt to cap it, to push it down.............hold it close to the level of "constant-productiveness" that exists all around me. Other times I feel extreme Anxiety..............the polar opposite. Which one is my own feeling, and which belongs to the planet and her manifestations? Perhaps they belong to all of us.
IF I lived on a Mountain top.................surrounded by Nature.............could I open? Could I sustain JOY? Perhaps I could and would and WILL. Is not the True test being able to LIVE JOYFULLY in this world, IN the heart of "Civilization," and allow it to impact those around? Perhaps. Perhaps living Joyfully would not make the world Joyful for others nearby, but would actually cause some strife. If you look at all of the Masters that have existed in this world, almost every single one of them were caused great pain (and overcame it) because of the fear others felt about loosing their existing belief systems and/or way of life. About Change. Perhaps living on the Mountain Top with constant JOY as a companion would be best for all.
I am not a Master...........I am a Seeker.............and JOY is calling me............I wish to live there continuously and am about to do anything to reach and maintain that state.
It is really funny to ponder the fact that Humans feel they are the most evolved on this planet. Perhaps Intellectually...................yet, WHAT IS THAT--- in the bigger picture? Isn't Intellectual Evolution more about the Ego ---- rather than Spiritual Evolution?
Amen.
Thank you my kitty, for your Sparkle............and the many lessons you are gifting me with. Thank you for the GOODNESS, Love and Purity you are bringing into my world and my heart.
