Journey of Being, Practice, Practice, Practice

I am writing this post as a seeker.  I say that because I have a depth in me, I know, that is very attuned to a sense of wisdom, compassion, kindness and agape love.  It is even more diverse and rich than that though.  There are trillions upon trillions of wishes and insights that flower my soul in this way.  Beauty, contemplation, spirit, awakening, true love and so forth are all a part of this inner awareness that I have.  

So if I have these things within me, what is it that I seek?  I believe I seek correspondence, interactions and resonance.  I have had some experience with yoga in the past and do sense a profound power within that practice.  For now though I have been content with doing meditation while supplementing that practice with physical fitness at a gym.  I seek balance as much as anything in my pursuit of truth, in my journey of being.

And how precious is it that we simply are, in certain extents, plain and simple.  We simply are.  That is a fine understanding as well.  One that cannot be underestimated.  I think again there is a sense of balance to be gained in these regards.  We simply are yet we also enact the world as we go and are able to get in touch with ourselves and each other.  Perhaps that is a journey we all face.  Perhaps that is testament to what it is we have to learn here in this body and state of being.  I think there is a great opportunity to evolve with how we think of ourselves and each other rooted in kindness and compassion.  

So what does this mean for life?  I see in my own way that I struggle sometimes to keep up with the news for example.  I am making strides in my own spiritual practice yet the daily grind of world events rushes onwards.  I am trying more and more to strike yet again a balance with my inner calling to commune with divinity and the specified instances taking place in the world, some which are call for attention, deep attention and awareness.  

So it is that I think we can come to utilize our awareness training through meditation when we come into contact with the news as well.  It is an opportunity to spread outside of our comfort zone while still staying in touch with what is at our core.  The more that we can do this I believe the more we become made supple to coalesce with world mind in fantastic and lovely ways.  We can overcome the turpitude.  We can radiate through all of the muck with a resilient strength that transcends even space and time.  

To ground this all, I believe that a deeper and deeper understanding of our experience comes from getting in touch with our lives as a crafted artwork and learning the sacred power of that conception.  We have an opportunity to truly alight in the mystery and shine on in beautiful and centrifugal ways.  There is so much within us that we have yet to discover.  A daily practice of meditation blended with an artful conception of life can allow for a fuller sense of balance and reckoning of what it is we are to do in this life and what we are truly and rightfully capable of doing in good and profound ways.
