Seeking vs Discovery

Seeking occurs in time,
and follows a path
out of the present moment
into an imagined future.

Discovery is grounded
in the present moment,
centered here and now.

Seeking focuses on a distant goal.
Discovery focuses on immediate Reality.

Seeking is fueled by restlessness and longing.
Discovery is delighted, fulfilled and satisfied.

Seeking is predicated on lack and grasping,
-- and a sense of something missing.

Discovery is completely open and receptive
-- accepting and embracing Reality,
exactly as it is.

Recognize the Ego

Rav Ashlag, the founder of The Kabbalah Centre, says there is only onething we can do to defeat our ego - recognize it.The moment we see it, the Light comes in and sucks it out of us. Whenwe give up our ego completely, when we achieve the level where we cando true letting go of our agenda, that's immortality in all parts ofour life.Today, recognize everything about you that is opposite of the Light,and connect it to your ego. Whatever hurts you, whatever ticks youoff, whatever saddens you, whatever insults you, whatever worries you,whatever frightens you, know that it's simply your ego doing its jobof blocking your Light.

Return to Love Quote

Whenever we feel lost, or insane, or afraid, all we have to do is ask for His help. The help might not come in the form we expected, or even thought we desired, but it will come, and we will recognize it by how we feel. In spite of everything, we will feel at peace.

For the Wall

May the light shine and open my heart to deeper relationships…remove the fear and let only love reside. I ask that we all grow in awareness of our interconnectedness for greater harmony.
Let go of anger, let go of story, learn to BE, find comfort in stillness, love, fellowship, peace, know one piece is part of a whole, forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, consciousness, awareness of self and space, laughter, warmth, abundance, never stop learning, adventure, presence…

Today's Events & Experiences

(Thank you for a good friend for sharing this lesson)

Today, I will trust that the events in my life are not random. My experiences are not a mistake. The Universe, my Higher Power, and life are not picking on me.
I am going through what I need to go through to learn something valuable, something that will prepare me for the joy and love I am seeking.
