How Does One Walk

"How does one walk through a world that has seemingly gone mad, with
an open heart?" Well I think it is possible to walk with my head and
heart focused on the Way and leave the rest to my inner self to
guide me past all those seemingly traps and pitfalls along the way.
If I am to be able to pass this life with the learnings needed for
the next life, I am in need of trust with-in my own being. The idea
that the world has the right to mistreat us, abuse us or any other
negatives to us, is wrong. Nothing happens to us without our
permission. We may not know we have given that permission but we
have. Yes, we should feel loss when one of our own dies, we have
lost a partner in living. Yes, we should be angry if someone has
mistreated us, but then did we know that would or could happen. If
so, we have given our permission to be mistreated. If not, learn the
lesson and be aware of that person and dealings in the future. Now,
what can we do????????? What we can do is remember without our
permission, we are immune to all those deep painful cancers that
come from others activities. Be aware of others and that they are
not as involved with the spirit walk as you are. Be aware that
others will mindfully hurt you. What you do with the energy from
that hurt is what will make you a bound person to that hurt or a
free spirit to travel on to greater peace from the experience of
that hurt. When we wake each morning, be thankful for the day and be
open to the lessons to be presented by the interactions of the day.
Look and see with clear vision, all that is possible from each
interaction with others. See all that is to be learned from each
event of the day. Then at the end of the day, be thankful for ALL
the lessons given this day and be at peace with all creation. That
does not mean to ignore the pains of a happening. That does not mean
we are not free from the frustrations, the pains, the deep feeling
of loss and deprivation. It does mean there are lessons to be
learned from what happened and we are obligated to learn those
lessons or repeat them again and again until we do learn the
lessons. I hope this helps, if not ask away, we can explore together
for our better understandings. TwoBears ---
