What was the point of the story about my dog (see day 218)? Could it have been possible the silence within me, my spirit, my unemotional-wisdom felt a confirmation from vet #3? That there's more "here" than meets the eye, the illusion of life is really happening on a spiritual plane, and when we pay attention to that, life is only as hard as we make it?
Certainly that sounds FAR more simple and easy than we're gonna make it. Because the alternative has to do with our desires for more, and isn't that human nature? And who sets the standard for what's adequate? Think about it. You do know the answer. So what am I trying to say?
We all want basic survival. The vast majority of us want to feel we're heard and loved for who we are right? Whoa, go back. Feel we're heard for who we are? What's that really mean? Wouldn't that be what inspires you, things you enjoy with a sense of purpose, or things that give you pleasure in doing, and why you feel as you do?
Are these things we really hear about one another?
Well sure, but don't we inadvertently always have our own expectations if we have "heard" someone else? Where do our expectations come from? Our minds? And doesn't that come from desire too? Distinguishing desire from the mind and desire of the silent-heart is instantaneous once we seriously connect with our inner-self, which means quieting the mind.
And this is not regarded as normal for the masses of people. This is for "them", this is not necessary for happiness, and who has time when it's not important? It's such a shame the practice of quieting the mind is labeled as prayer, surrendering, something for yogis, monks, or whatever practice it's become. Making time to quiet the mind of thought is a simple human way to connect our intellectual being with the invisible force of evolution we're unable to explain. Imagine if we'd evolved to accept it as we do eating?
