“If you embrace the present and become one with it, you will experience a fire, a glow, a sparkle of ecstasy throbbing in every living sentient being. As you begin to experience this exultation of spirit in everything that is alive, as you become intimate with it, joy will be born within you, and you will drop the terrible burdens and encumbrances of defensiveness, resentment, and hurtfulness. Only then will you become lighthearted, carefree, joyous, and free.” Depak Chopra in ‘The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success’
I once heard a story about a boy who being quite HIGH On God described watching his mother breast feed his little sibling, he said: “it was like watching God pour God into God”.
This is what Quantum Theory is also telling us, it’s all energy! Our thoughts, our bodies, money, the chair you’re sitting on-are all energy/source/The Law of Attraction/God/vibration/atoms in motion-whatever analogy you feel most comfortable with.
It’s all made of the same stuff!
So if there’s anything in your experience you’re not happy with, the question arises ‘How am I to be present with this, and how am I responsible for this?’
I was once told by a shaman when I remarked that something wasn’t my problem(even though it bothered me) that it was someone else’s and it was ‘out there’; he replied: “There is no ‘out there’, it’s all inside”.
I other words, everything in my experience I am somehow responsible for by the shear fact that I am experiencing it, I’m vibrating with it and at the same level as it. I am Attracting it!
Radical concept! I can tell you I didn’t like it one bit! That I’m somehow responsible for what happens in my life? Preposterous!
Then years later I heard about ‘The Law of Attraction’ and it all started to make sense, although I can tell you, it still sometimes irks me when the world comes up and bites me on the butt.
I have also found out that when I’m present with these things, they aren’t so terrible, they loose their power and don’t seem so frightening.
So part of my process of surviving and thriving is to always come beck into my body and be present, and focus on who I am, where I’m going and experience as much joy as I can.
In this way I hope to transform not only my experience of life as joyous, but also spread joy to the world!
