Sentient Being

Sentient Being
If “sentient beings are composed of the five aggregates, or skandhas… matter, sensation, perception, mental formations and consciousness” ….
Let us play with this Wikipedia definition and ask these questions:

How aware are we of our physical presence and how does that matter?

How conscious are we of our 5 senses, are we using them and are there more?

How do we perceive things and is it as acknowledgement, acceptance or judgement?

Are our mental formations learned or based on experience, imagination, meditation?

Is our consciousness our ability to be in an awakened state tuned in to all that is?
Our answers will relate to how we practice sentient beingness

PEACE

PEACE
Peace evolves as common effort
Effort is easy when we create habits
A habit starts with our conscious intention
Common, ordinary, normal – ie. we all want peace
Effort is a determined action towards a desired outcome

E-Motion

E-Motion
energy is motion
so somewhere is the notion
that is why we are emotionally adept
human beings
emotional beings
we navigate our world by feeling
a precious ability
we increase our agility
by tuning in to the emotions we wear
and how we respond
can go way beyond
by retracting from reacting
go to serious search-facting
to understand our beliefs and compare
by being emotionally aware
what is this emotion?
what belief is causing it?
do we own this belief?
if not how can that be changed?
now how does that feel?
what emotion is real?
and then the old we repeal
and begin again
