These kinds of things simply come to me
without exerting any effort; it's simple because there is no effort involved. I
think the people who experience this as well will know exactly what I mean; it
flows because you are going with the flow.
I don't always go with the flow; this is
because I accept that being a part of a reality like ours, going against the
flow is a part of this reality. However as of always, balance between going
with the flow and against it is always a wise thing to do; everything in
moderation no matter how good or right it feels.
The whole self = Our natural flow
Part of the whole self, our present reality
= A flow that goes against the natural flow
A thing to consider here, is going against
the flow of a reality that goes against the natural flow going against the flow
of that reality? Yes, this reality is a tiny part of who we are as a whole, the
whole self is of a natural flow, are not realities that are of going against
this natural flow also of this natural flow?
How we think is one is against the other;
if it's against the natural flow, it's in opposition to the flow. In the whole
scheme of existence, there is no opposition as it's all a part of the same
natural flow no matter how small that flow might be. Our present reality is a
small part of the natural flow even when going against the natural flow of life.
Is a fish swimming against the flow of water; not of the natural flow of the
life of the water; when the fish goes against the flow of water? Are we not the
fish within the water, within a particular reality like the fish!!
We simply don't think like the fish, we
think more like a rock when going against the flow, in opposition to the flow.
Instead of allowing ourselves to go with the flow, we are like a rock trying to
swim like a fish in opposition the flow when acting/thinking like a rock. It's
unnatural for a rock to go against the flow like this; we have simply forgotten
we are the fish when swimming against the flow, not the rock.
The rock is in opposition when going
against the flow, the fish isn't, which reality do we want to experience, the
fish or the rocks reality? If it's the fish, we can go against the flow without
being in opposition to the flow, if the rock, we must go with the flow at all
times otherwise we are in opposition to the natural flow.
What occurred recently is I experienced a
glimpse of what we are doing to ourselves. By being the rock while in
opposition to its environment, mainly because we desire control of this
environment to feed our desires, we have become the rock in opposition to the
natural flow of life. A rock going against its environment will be destructive
and disruptive to its environment; the natural flow of life, what the rock going
against the flow isn't aware of is it's simply hurting itself immensely by
doing so.
Being the rock in opposition to its own
environment is going to lead to what it's always lead to, its own destruction.
Of course any energy source in opposition to its own environment causing its
own demise is a part of the natural flow of life also. If we are going to
continually act like a rock going against the flow, we will naturally cause our
own demise, however, if we choose to be a rock going with the flow or become
the fish instead, we will be naturally going with the flow of life.
I chose to be the fish swimming against the
flow at times, other people have chosen to be a rock going with the flow and
many more people have chosen to be the rock in opposition to the flow. No
matter what we choose to be it's all a part of the natural flow of life, it's
just everything we choose to be has its own journey to ride out. Yes, the
outcome of each journey is different but it still finishes up being a part of
the natural flow of life no matter what journey we choose to follow.
It simply came to me, if we really knew
what we do, we simply wouldn't do it; we simply wouldn't be the rock in
opposition to the natural flow of life. How aware is the rock to its
environment compared to the fish? We simply need stop being the rock in
opposition, stop thinking in opposition like positive and negative being in
opposition to each other all the times for only a rock in opposition to the
flow can think like this.
Is a fish going against the flow judging
the water negative while swimming against it?
Only a rock going in opposition to the flow could think like this.......
