The nature of light is expansion, when we are climbing our own mountain if we don’t stop and take a breath, we might miss the view.

The growing pains of the lotus flower

Growth can be challenging, Spiritual growth is usually scary, giving us more than our conditioned self believes it can handle in some area of life.

I love the quote of Mother Theresa that “I have full faith in God, I just sometimes wish he didn’t have so much faith in me.”

In growth we can be forced out of a previous sense of self and pushed to grow into a new and expansive idea of self, to reach new realisations about our potential and about the mechanics of the universe.

I imagine that the lotus seed lays their comfortably in the mud. Then a subtle discontentment appears and it feels itself being draw towards an unseen light at the surface of the water, leaving behind the dark cold security of the comfortable mud.

This calling forward on our own hero’s journey, partly burns away who we have been conditioned to believe that we are.

Inviting us to develop new understandings, so we can embrace this expansion of self, into new realms of possibility and understanding.

If we want an incredible life we may find that our sense of self is broken appart and put back together again.

Many of us often feel unworthy of our greatest visions, not realising that this ‘self limitation’ is really the only major problem, and we subtly hold high the false idol of our own unworthiness of love, success and happiness.

On this path as our mind becomes healed, stronger and more focused, we start to let go of the years of self imposed negative conditioning that have been holding us back..

These times can feel like a furnace as we are purified by the fire of existence, to become the person we need to become to thrive and live up to our calling.

In life many of us can’t see our limitations as they have become a comfortable part of who we believe that we are.

The path of awakening is a destruction of that internal prison, a pulling appart is it brick by brick, untill we finally start to accept own divinity and light.

Today give yourself permission to shine, to become who and what you already are.

The sun on your face, the rain on your skin

Some days, months or even years for me can seem like an eternal sunshine, I’m in flow, things just fall into place. Perhaps you have these times too where you are surrounded by joy, it feels like you have cracked it, have found the key to an endlessly problem free life.

A student once asked my master “I want this unshakable peace that you seem to have in this life time.” He responded “OK, I bless you with many problems.”

To cut a long story short, the student changed his mind about wanting unshakable peace 😂.

My experience is that this world is a inescapable play of duality, of highs and lows and the more we try and fight against this the more discomfort we start to experience.

This doesn’t mean however that we can’t find heaven and hapiness here, more that we are looking in all the wrong places in how to achieve that.

I used to love summer so much, BBQ’s, beer gardens with friends, I used to love it so much that I started to develop seasonal affective disorder. The dark clouds of autumn would literally form in my being as the cold winds appeared and winter loomed on the horizon.

The more attached we become to something which changes the more we suffer when it changes.

This is why the mystics say “don’t build up your treasure on earth (the play of duality) find the value in the changeless and value that.”

The changeless has been giving so many names; Tao, Buddha Nature, God, Pure consciousness but all of these names only points to something we have to experience for ourselves consistently.

The more we place the routes of our being in the changeless, the more we bear different fruits in life, we become calmer, wiser, more peaceful and compassionate.

In the heart of stillness we can pause and feel the sacredness of the sun shining on our face and the cold rain falling on our skin, we find joy in both rest and action in both receiving and letting go.

It all becomes part of the same play, we have finally stored up our treasure in heaven.

We finally see the game, so we let go and become free.

Getting back to where you are

There is a profound insight put forward by Lao Tsu and it’s what might be the most profound teaching on happiness.

I’ll get to it shortly but I’ll explain first why some of these Taoist/Zen teachings are so powerful for me.

Put simply the teachings are like lighting bolts designed to destroy the spell of Mara/illusion, to snap us even for a moment out of the hypnosis which is inflicted on to us from birth.

A hypnosis that keeps us suffering, comparing, feeling disconnected to Tao, to God, to life, to the fullness of who we are.

Here is the teaching:

“When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” - Lao Tzu

This is powerful because it cuts straight through the illusion the world has conditioned us to believe in:

That you are not good enough, born in sin, you’ll only be happy when …, your not spiritual enough, enlightened enough, adored enough, wealthy enough…

We give our power away through this to religion, to consumerism, to popularity, to monks and nuns, to a separated ideas of Buddha, God or Nirvana.

But Lao Tsu in this one stroke cuts through this like a knife as it to say ‘Awaken!’ Awaken from your dream of suffering and incompleteness. Stop giving your power away, especially to those who seem to require it.

We have been taught be our religious institutions, our society, our governing bodies to keep small, to hand our sovereignty oven, to believe, to continue to invest in an illusion of less than-ness.

Today.. Arise, awaken, be who you already are and be free.
