Inside Out

Inside Out

let us bring the inside out
our journeys have taken us deeply within
here we learned of our interconnectivity
we became aware of our Oneness
now it is time
time to bring the inside out

as aspects of the whole
we know we are creating our future
what is the future we want to gift to the children?

how do we envision this place of love, peace, contentment?
what are the new ways of addressing our challenges?
can we have fun with this whole process?
what are the best ways to communicate and collaborate?

let us pray
let us be love
let us be peace
let us be happy
let us bring the jewels of the inside out
out into the space, the places we live on planet Earth
and to all we are connected to in the beyond

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

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
