How Do I Look?

At no time more than right now, remaining brave and strong is an important reminder. It seems there are more than the usual things to be distressed or discouraged about. In our personal lives, in our communities, in our nation, on our planet.

I loved this image when I saw it on someone’s Facebook page:

Observing the way we look is vital. Recently, I awoke from a dream in which a teacher was telling me some day we would not tell people what to think, we would teach them how to think. This is certainly what my life with Subtle Communication Systems (SCS/NLP) is all about.

Along these lines, I was deeply moved by this excerpt from Chögyam Trungpa’s The Heart of the Buddha: Entering the Tibetan Buddhist Path (page 126). Chögyam Trungpa was a Buddhist meditation master.

The simultaneous experience of confusion and sanity, or being asleep and awake, is the realization of coemergent wisdom. Any occurrence in one’s state of mind—any thought, feeling, or emotion—is both black and white. It is both a statement of confusion and a message of enlightened mind.

How do you look? Are you aware? May all beings awaken their enlightened mind. It is within every one of us.
