Shifts in Being

Let me notice WHAT my current World is
What am I thinking about people around me and my current situation
These perceptions are likely to persist even in new circumstances
My circumstances are arising out of my own internal conversations
What are my opinions about the recent (and older) happenings in my life?
WHO do I think is wrong? WHAT do I think is wrong?
Irrespective of the apparent truth, these stories are my own creations!
In the external world, I will continue to SEE whatever is in My Mind!
The more I am attached to my opinions the more they will show up in new people and places
The way out is to simply start LOOKING at the world coming from my Highest Vision of the life I wish to experience

The Great Path

Sweet Krishna shares Tao's Great Way at Deciphering Spirituality:
How do you know you are on the Way?
When your map no longer serves you.

As we move through life, it is interesting to look at the paradox of a "path". The mind always "calculating" to find the Best Path. There are a million paths in this world and yet NO path is needed. Castenada shares:

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere.

He goes on:

Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good;
if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you. Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.

....

So, there is NO path - simply a JOURNEY in which your awareness expands leading you to OPEN UP your HEART, open up to people, open up to life and open up to your Infinite Glory!
