RELAXING THE WANT/SHOULD SPASM, Part 2

LEARNING TO TRUST!

In order to relax, you have to believe that the ground that supports you will continue to support you…no matter how creative a step you may take.


And why would you trust that? Well, you trust it all the time. Every time you take a step, you're actually falling and meeting the ground which predictably and even comfortably breaks your fall and gives you the impulse to take the next step.


And you know how you discovered that incredible level of trust…well, here we have to take you back to when you were a little younger…when you were just learning to walk. Remember that? ("Expletive of your own choosing"), it was probably one of, if not, the most important things that you will ever consciously learn, and you don't even remember learning it? What's with that!
Think about what you must have done to learn that "trust." After all, you didn't just learn how to walk, you learned how to trust.


My dance teacher in college, Harriett Ann Grey, would often say, "All dance is just falling and recovering."

And how did you learn to walk? Guess what? You fell down a bunch…a whole big bunch of times…and you got up…you recovered.

It was your destiny.


So, if learning to trust/walk required hundreds, if not thousands, of times of falling down and getting back up again, how many times will you have to practice the trust walk of faith before you can walk through life assured…certain that your every step will be met by the firm grasp of…not only material gravity, but spiritual gravity which also provides the spring in your step to keep you moving.


Yes, indeed, now The Cosmic Choreographer wants to teach you that you can not only trust the steps of your life to the "Ground of Being," but you can trust the dance of your life to your always dependable inner dance partner, who will lift you up and gracefully bring you back down so that you can ever rise again.

It's your destiny.

Think on't.

BUMPING INTO NOT ME

Bumping into Not Me By Errol Strider (pretending to be me) Easing into this moment… as I attempt to wend my way around the obstacles of my life… those judgments I project before me... that cause me to stumble and fall and have to watch the ground in order not to bump into the sharp edged walls that I make of everyone by the way I shape them according to how they are not me. -- Errol Strider, Artistic Director The Laughing Heart (415) 459-4512 http://striderinnertainment.com/ http://www.insightoutwitherrol.blogspot.com/ http://www.utopiaradio.com/ estrider@gmail.com

IS GOD TWO-FACED? Part 2 "Let's Face It"

Image
Let's face it, it's nice to share a meal with someone you can relate to. When I want heartfelt comfort and soul nourishment…it really is immensely satisfying to know that I am in a relationship with a very intimate "Other"…and indeed, the more I surrender (snuggle up) to that Other-ness, the more I recognize that the other enjoys companionship just as much as I do. The meal just tastes better when we're sharing the same grass. But just to keep the scales balanced (I am a Libra), I love grazing in the open fields of un-endingness and non-distinction…it's relaxing, it's satisfying, there's no resistance and there's more than enough to go around. So let's face it...it's good to abide in "both/and".. which calls me to be a compassionate "other" when life needs "me-othering" and as permeating presence in the pastures of consciousness when distinction just gets in the way. So, thanks Jesus and thanks Buddha. Even tho...

MICHAEL MOORE, "COOPERATION...A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE STORY"

Image
Text message from God: "When you step into the Do-duality, don't get it all over yourself.." I saw Michael Moore's movie, "Capitalism, a Love Story" last night. I can imagine many of us going, "Ooooo!" "Yuk" "They're awful." "What can we do?" Then we're taken over by a feeling of impotence or simply the distractions and the compulsivity's of our own needs and wants, and it becomes just another movie. And we become, like the guards at the doors of the big corporations that Mr. Moore approached… "Sorry, you can't talk to our CEO, let alone convert him/her." And what is the CEO or your consciousness? For most of us it is a false sense of who we are concocted out of our need to separate ourselves in order to know ourselves…hence…greed, denial, apathy, war/competition, dis-ease, etc. I suggest that we start by becoming a little reflective…rather than reflexive. Consider: We are unlikely to change...
