The Daily Lightwave

Ever lived for a "that" or a "there" to find once you got it, the relief was momentary? I have and still do often find myself embroiled in there and that thinking. It's a habitual groove of the human psyche and it never pays as promised. It's a kind of Russian doll phenomenon where there's always a new layer. And until the mind is freed from the cycle of there and that thinking, there always will be. The only thing capable of giving the happiness, health, satisfaction, and love we project onto an illusory there or that, is HERE and NOW. The mind has to be subjugated in order to experience this level of awareness and way of being. One simple way to do this is through conscious breathing.

There and that are fantasies that keep us from experiencing the ever-reliable here and now.

A talk I listened to recently by Ram Dass gave me a new perspective on self-doubt as it relates to service. I think self-doubt is often mistaken for humility, but this is a misperception. Real humility is too ego-less for self-doubt. That's what makes it so powerful. Learning to distinguish is key. Self-doubt is a hindrance not a help to one who desires to be of the highest service. With a willingness to let go, the desire to serve will replace the tendency for self-doubt.

Today trade in self-doubt for selfless service.

Today's #dailylightwave is something I've always done without knowing what I was doing at the time ~ often to the chagrin of others. Thank goodness even in my most vulnerable moments I didn't cave to the desire for acceptance. There's no substitute for living an authentic life, and that in it's own right gives others the permission to do the same.

Only by staying out of the rat race, can I help others off the wheel.

The mind says "I don't feel inspired.  I'll just skip that today." I can't count the number of times I've gone along with that. What I'm finding now is that showing up consistently is the soil inspiration needs to blossom. Today marks my 170th consecutive, haven't-missed-a-day #dailylightwave. There are days I think nothing is there, I have nothing to say, it doesn't matter, no one cares, bla bla bla, but I do it anyway. In the discipline of showing up something always arises that I didn't know was there. This is true for a spiritual practice, sitting for meditation, an exercise regimen, playing an instrument, and on and on. You've gotta cultivate the tenacity to show up along with all your doubts,  laziness, and fear no matter what. When all else fails that commitment will carry you through. Steven Pressfield's book call The War of Art is one of the best on this topic. Come on show us what you're made of!

Discipline breeds inspiration.

Knowing what I'm not is the beginning of recognizing what and who I am.

I'm powerless over the conditioning I misidentify as my self.

We live in a society that tells us our life is about accumulating. Over valuing things devalues our soul and nothing is more empty. Those who have made the most positive difference in the world left a legacy of kindness and service through their actions. Whatever the value of their estate at their time of departure pales in comparison. Let's be alert to claim our right to live as an offering to humanity rather than an accumulator. This commitment makes us strong and less susceptible to manipulation and other forms of mind control through the media and popular culture.

The power and scope of your life are measured by the good you do not by how many things you possess.
