RE: Thoughts that you barely notice can ruin your day
Yuppp, true that! :)
I will take it a step further.
That pesky mosquito or raging lunatic conspiring to ruin our lives is a manifestation of our divine consciousness trying to get us to shift our attention
Mosquitoes have never, ever bothered in my life when I was engaged in flow and fully immersed in the present moment.
They only seem to manifest when my mind has wandered off and I'm not fully immersed in the moment.
I chuckle to myself when a mosquito is bothering me, or my internet isn't working, or my tummy hurts, or I'm having an argument with someone.
Why? Because it reminds me I'm engaged in bullshit and there's no reason to be going through life the way I am going through it.
It is zen mastery to be able to completely avoid these nuissances because to the zen master even pain and discomfort are welcomed experiences bringing precious information from on high, within and without.
The zen master knows exactly what to do when these unpleasantnesses occur.
Take a walk. Eat a fruit. Find a peaceful, quiet spot. Take care of some business.
There's always a next step to attend to, a discipline to practice, a desire or need to fulfill, a person or situation to be helped or tended to.
Clinging to the past moment, no matter how comfortable or pleasant it may be, is not the way of the world and will lead to unpleasantness and suffering.
A huge problem for many is their lack of desire to live. Living requires the expense of energy, a.k.a effort.
When we "give" a.k.a make an effort, the Universe always responds kindly and gives us ample time to enjoy the fruits of our effort down the line.
Good thought for the day x
Yeah :-) manifestations.
I don’t have much to say in response, you basically just added another layer to what I wasn’t trying to say. One that’s only for the people who get it.
Sometimes it's not what we say, it's what we don't say that really matters. Your post about negative thoughts says it all, to the attuned, they will knkw what you mean.
The layer I added was just to confirm to you that what you were saying was right and true.
In reality, I didn't take it a step further, I just stated the obvious effect of what is right and true.
While millions, maybe billions struggle with the existence of mosquitoes (even calling for the man-incured extinction of the human-population affecting varieties on our planet, through genetic engineering)
To many around the world, they are not a "nuissance" or "pest" but just another manifestation of the naturally occuring intelligence of our cosmos
One needs a fair bit of intuition and wisdom to co-exist peacefully with them, however 😂
