I wonder if you could say something on the podcast about death. I have just suddenly lost my husband - one second we were sitting chatting, the next he he had a sudden cardiac arrest and was dead before he hit the ground. So, yes I am in shock. But I am also struggling even to believe in death, let alone "understand" it. What is it? How can it be? I know you lost your father when you were younger. Please, where and how does death fit in with everything in this understanding? You said everything is a reflection of our inner reality. You won't upset me whatever you say as I truly want to know how this might work here. I am utterly stunned and bereft and feel quite unreal, but I feel a need to try and get a sense of what death and dying even is, if that doesn't sound too stupid, as it just doesn't even seem believable right now.
Mary Oliver
In Blackwater Woods
Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars
of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,
the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders
of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is
nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned
in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side
is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it
go,
to let it go. |
I was listening to your last podcast and something you said around 'no truth in what the mind is projecting', made me think, maybe that's not true?! My mind projects something and it seems to come true time after time. Can you say a little about this?
If I'm not mistaken I heard you say on a Food webinar to use a bit of will power with no brainer behaviours.I was wondering how this fits together with no doer?
"When you are inspired… by some great purpose… All of your thoughts, break their bonds… Your mind, transcends, limitation… Dormant forces, talents, faculties become alive, and you discover to be a greater person than you ever dreamed to be!" -- Patanjali, 300BC
A friend just shared this and what if the some great purpose is recognizing who we really are as aware, alive, intelligence?
