I mentioned in my last post that one of my cafe buddies likes crossword puzzles. I used to do them myself. Not so much any more for some reason. The thing about puzzles is, the mind loves them. It loves solving things. Complexity and challenges keep the mind engaged in life.
Whatever part of the world you live in, whether or not you celebrate Christmas, or any other type of holiday tradition, I hope that you will take some time to sit with yourself, and reflect on who you are. To remind yourself of what you took on your shoulders, of what you went through this lifetime, for your love of humanity.
Feeling good 24/7 is not encouraged in this world. How could we possibly feel good when others are suffering. The homeless, war-torn countries, poverty, and disease are rampant. People are suffering emotionally. There is loneliness, heart break, despair. We may know people in our own life that are suffering.
As you may have noticed, embodied enlightenment is solitary work. It’s not a group effort, and it’s not something you learn from a book. It requires 100 percent of your attention.
