See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.... my interpretation of it.
It is so easy to memorize nuggets of truth principals, spoken by masters, spiritual teachers and lofty poets.
It is easy to embrace concepts and ideas that rings true in our minds and hearts.
But the trick is not to keep these in the realm of ideas, but to integrate it all, into a one coherent life.
A life that gives you the joys you deserve and enriches you with constant flow of blessings, rewarding experiences and that encourage inner growth.
Each of us is responsible to finding the disconnected areas in our own lives, and to work on integrating them into a happy and working flow of experiences that serves our highest good.
What do I mean by this?
I will give you an obvious example, but I do NOT mean to leave it at the surface of the obvious, but to urge you to dig deeper and to explore these concepts in your own life.
To urge you to examine all the areas in which you do not live up to your own ideas and where you do not manifest or fully embraced your own truth principles.
An obvious area of disconnect, is clearly seen in the USA, in the groups of Christian fanatics, who shoot doctors who give abortions and in those who burn abortion clinics.
If they truly believed in the loving words of Jesus, they would know that he passionately advocated, that violence of ANY kind, is the wrong approach.
That he believed in a non violence approach to ALL the “problems” of life.
In fact, he even suggested turning the other cheek.....
Now, I am going to bring a concept which no doubt, is going to make some people angry and disagree with me:
“When we perceive danger, or a threat, OF ANY KIND, we usually judged the situation wrongly.....
We actually live in a world that is totally SAFE, and which loves us in ALL WAYS. REALITY is a creation of each individual, and we are fully responsible to the reality we create in our life, just as we are responsible to the ways we view the world.”
What do I mean by this?
How can I say something stupid like this?
What world am I living in that is TOTALLY SAFE? that is here to love and protect us?
What if I am walking down a dark alley and a man with a large knife is approaching me?
Am I suppose to perceive, that he actually just caught a fish, and that he is planning to gut and clean it with that knife? and that he is not planning to attack me?
Well, since you brought up a hard one, I will have to also bring up some heavy guns... and I will say this:
“Everything that happens to you, happens according to the situation you perceived and how you proceeded to react to it.”
During my years of learning and exploring these concepts, I heard some REAL stories to support this.
I will mention here one, since this note can get really long and since some people do not even bother to read my note carefully, before they jump to conclusions......
In this REAL story, a man woke up hearing somebody, moving around in his living room.
Since he lived alone, he knew this cannot be good....
But,......
He was a student of truth for many years, and right after he froze with fear, he started hearing a soft voice inside his own mind, telling him not to be too quick to judge, not to be so fearful, and to allow what comes to unfold.
He went to the living room, to see a masked man, obviously looking around for cash, or jewelry.
The voice that came out of his own mouth, spoke out with love and tenderness that was foreign even to him.
He was not sure where this compassionate voice even came from... It said: “Brother, I see you are great pain, a great need and that you are desperate and in a great deal of emotional pain... do you want to sit and talk about it?”
To his amazement, the man started crying... and they sat on his sofa.... he in his pajama and the man who took off the mask and was crying now.
He told him of his need, of his pain, and the many reasons he did not really want to rob him, but how he truly needed money.
He spoke about how frightened he was to be caught again, and to risk going back to jail, violating his parol.
The owner of the house felt compassion beyond belief, floods him.
He offered to give the man $200 that he had in his wallet.
He felt like he would be giving this money to his own brother or son.
He was amazed that he did not feel anger or fear.
That he only felt compassion.
The robber- man said that this experience changed his life.
He left from the front door (he entered through the window) with the cash offered to him.
The man who owned the apartment, felt strong, empowered and compassionate.
This story illustrate my belief.
We are NOT bodies, bound to an earthly reality which is studded with limitations and danger.
We live in a magical universe... a world of IDEAS..... which shapes itself to our belief systems and forms itself to obey our dictates.
Most of what we WANT to see happen- does happen. (when I say WANT - I also mean FEAR that will happen- our subconscious minds do not know the different between what we desire and what we fear- it simply resonate and attracts when it senses strong feelings)
If we WANT to believe that the world is dangerous and harsh- this is what we will see happen.
If we WANT to see a kind world filled with souls, who are just like us, doing their very best to “make it” in the world, often just “feeling” their way through, and doing their best to live the in the best ways they can...... this is what we will see.
I hold the belief that strangers are family members we have not yet embraced.
That danger can be avoided, or diverted by kindness and compassionate perception.
That EVERYTHING in the world works for us...... and that all events and people we meet...... are working for our highest good.
And that EVERYTHING can be changed and shifted the second we want to choose differently....
