Roam Free in the Wilderness
Source: creativecosmos.org
When you find it in your heart to follow the Tao, you will live a different life than those who make their way based on the laws of the world. Your peaks and valleys will be much more intense. This will help develop an absolutely level consciousness which can watch everything and remain aware. Others who find solace in routine and security will slowly become numb and the shining heart will become cloaked in darkness. The finest subtleties of the synapses become dull and the mind rationalizes clinging to the same old same old. Only a lion with the strength to let forth a full roar will be able to again and again shake the shackles and roam free in the wilderness.Friends and foes alike may doubt your steps. How can another know what the Tao whispers in your ear? There is no validation necessary to walk in the present going where the inclination leads you. Knowing that the universe will provide you with what you need, the fear subsides and there is clarity. Human feelings are felt in all their depth. You will experience the journey and watch it. You are Human and God. Somewhere underneath it all is order. Anything the human mind can come up with is but a subset of the universal order – Tao. If you align with the universal order all other form will be at your disposal. This is why many artists and musicians become meditators.
All the images that are flashed before us every day shape our perceptions in ways that are thoroughly unhealthy. We are filled with expectations and rigid conceptions of reality. We are persuaded to feel as if we are always lacking. Very few live the full set of societal ideals and if we were to speak with those who do would we find them any happier than anybody else? Perhaps they might even feel worse having found that success in the world has still left them empty in spirit. We must see this discrepancy between the worldly way that we are always told about and the spiritual way which is rarely discussed. There are more profound laws than the ones in your books.
It is time to trust yourself over those who might advise you. There are most likely many others pulling you down, but a million reasons to do nothing about it. If you think it might be scary and difficult, you are quite correct. There is nothing about life on Earth that is easy but true Love. That is something we all seek underneath the surface. To find someone who understands us and will hold our hand with a reverence for our sacred nature. To attract such a Love we must be ready to accept it when it comes. Do we find ourselves worthy of a Love that will change our lives? You might be surprised how some people protect their misery. It is just another thing to distract from the real.
To trust so deeply that even if the Universe leads you off a cliff you will jump is to have complete surrender. Was this not the state of Christ on the Cross? He could have escaped but His heart must have told Him that to die was to live. Life is what you create. Watch closely what you resonate because that is what you are drawing to you. Remember also that nobody is perfect. Universal laws are not something to use in order to judge yourself. Keep trying your best to align and give yourself some time and room to breath. Being forgiving to yourself, you can forgive others and set everyone free.
