Title: Happily Ever After Post by: Rootsie on July 12, 2003, 11:15:17 AM In the scientist’s observation, what is unchanging decays.
‘Happily ever after." The cost of investing in the idea of a static state of content? Torment. Our ideas of paradise are opposed to the reality. Our Christian conditioning, which we receive whether or not we set foot in a church, keeps us yearning for that place of perfect peace at the end of the journey. We misapprehend peace, and so miss it when it comes. Peace comes through right conduct. There is no point at which this ends. Peace is not a state. It is a process. We can rest in peace only as we engage the work. Peace can attend us in all we do when we always do our best. No one can come and take the cup from us. Not even God. And there is no point of repose at the ‘end’ of this journey. ‘Happily ever after." is not an ending. It is the beginning. Dynamic being, endless becoming, recalibrating and fine-tuning. Picking up the highest vibrations on every one of our stations.. |
