New Year's gifts

It’s not what you do that others know you by. It’s how they choose to interpret what you do. And you can’t take that away from anyone. Like you, each person is entitled to their own mind.

Self-ignorance, when unrealized, begets judgement. A necessary path to walk through, explore and overcome. Each in our own time and choice.

The next stage - of observation - is rare and difficult to grasp, yet liberating and synthesizing, where before oppositional duality reigned.

Very often, it is our own vanity that deceives us.

Love cannot be redeemed. It cannot be compensated, possessed, exchanged with something else, repaid, be in debt, liberated for it’s never caged, promised or pledged, bought or sold, forced. But these are all ideas that we experience, learning all that love is not.

It’s been a while since a new year comes in flooded with so much positive energy, heightened awareness, and was almost instantaneous. An answer to all the work we’ve been doing, silently, humbly, whole-heartedly.

This means that the old school of thought is losing ground, losing control and will undoubtedly show its claws, if it’s not visible yet, which it surely is, for those who have eyes to see and ears to listen.

Yet, we might just make a leap in consciousness, instead of the common linear, slower path to awareness. There is still much to learn! We are at a pivotal and exciting point in time.

The agora is hardly the place to seek one’s self, truth or love. It is valuable in that it will provide anything that you can possibly need to grow. Like a hydra stalking its prey, it will consume you and spit you out. It will also provide any utopia that you need to create for your amusement.

Our real work is within our own personal relationships, our private worlds and the sanctuary of our own higher intelligence, where our sight clears and our love expands to include others.

What is convenient must be lost.
