12/12/12 Facebook post

It’s 12/12/12, so, I have a reflection to share encouraging, first of all myself, but hopefully my friends, to go into this moment and create not only what is needed, but what is truly wanted – and hopefully all is in sync with greater good.

It seems true to say that everything arises from consequences and continuously creates consequences, a flowing river of action that is neither random nor controlled, but is an evolving present state that’s never wholly this way or that way. In fact, it all seems to rise by its distinct parts interacting in relation to one another in the entire: in other words, everything exists because some things exists that causes other things to exist simultaneously, situation building upon situation that, all together, is the world as we know it.

But in the same flowing river is always an opportunity to manifest what we would like to be in the river. The more conscious that we are, the more we'll tend to act, think, and incline towards what we want, bringing it about or at least a similar, “proxy” situation. Do we take the time to make sure we are always focused on the actual good thing? Doubt peeks-a-boo from behind the scenes, peppering even stirring motivational speeches with little negative grains. Doubt, especially if its deep within, underneath all the pep talks you deliver or the sincere comfort your optimism gives others, can have a tendency to undo us even its only an inkling of doubt. Rather, be trusting.

Whether or not the mental chatter we make “says” all the right things, we are almost unwittingly honest with the universe and the true underlying convictions are more influential than saying and doing all the right things. But how can I overcome the doubt? By knowing you have it and accepting it as the first step of affirming that you want to eradicate doubt and embrace trust that everything is actually okay and will continuously create goodness.

Only through being truly conscious that the past is over and the present contains the only opportunity - can we seize that opportunity to manifest the happiness. Delights will come and then float away, to touch others and, fingers-crossed, have a lasting effect on the whole, but we have to wisely understand it will slip out of our hands.

We keep the hands open and grab the next happiness, which never takes too long to appear, and gradually as things tend to less and less make us very happy or very sad, in that middle balance we do get in touch with what’s constant within us that outlives all the highs and lows... some space inside that is always fresh in its approach to life, and rich, and, well, actually satisfied by the way things are!

The more accepting and content we are that the happiness created rushes back into the depths of the river and we’ll let it go to move on to other, and more, happiness – that is how we make the river work for you, not against you. Enjoy the flow, don’t suffer!

That said, I hope all your dreams come true. Happy 12/12/12!
