I intend to...step off the wheel of illusion and delusion
WHY? Authentic peace on the humble path towards a life well lived
HOW TO HELP: Sharing and connecting peaceful qualities and insights
INSPIRATION: " anger =fear. fear=attachment to illusion. attachment to illusion =separation from truth. separation from truth=ignorance of reality. ignorance of reality=separation from completeness. separation from completeness=dissatisfaction. dissatisfaction=fear of non-satisfaction. fear of non-satisfaction=anger. ...be. happy. " ...eugene (and I believe, deepak chopra wrote this as well)
and, "light of the world" mural, st pauls cathedral, london
and, the received wisdom of others freely, graciously and lovingly expressed
Thanks to Eugene for his inspiring quote from which sprang this intent for which even today, I am still grateful as I head off to Screenprinting class and completing my second project, a flying heart angel...on slipstreams of world p e a c e...
Bridget and I are revisiting this intent (new comments) here, which include thoughts from a well known yogi, to recognise and help us increasingly step off the wheel of illusions and delusions, pain and suffering.....just sharing, beachgirl
...why not...?...
i conquer
...and avoid all of the confusion :-)
Choice, like Love,is a supreme power ///
On a personal note, you remember how I was last year when I was fairly attached (obsessed) with this thing called Identity, searching for substance and all the while ignoring the essence. Ego can carjack even the most noble quests and maybe choice IS the most supreme power, because we make the choice to choose again, and choose Love...as you have seen too. Well, enough about me...it's time for another cup of coffee, as we lighten up and let go~~~!!! x
Right along side you my dear. Full awakening is upon us.
Bridget...yes, to choice...but as you too know, in awakened states comes discerement which I believe comes before choice ... may we all be showered in grace to discern more clearly in the moments between the moments ... with love and gratitude
Pickle...!!!...robbiesan (feels like I'm back in japan) ... may heaven and earth move for you with grace and flair this day and always ...!
Joanne...?????...thank you cherub
...Eugene...x
Yes to awareness...Just open x
Yes to calm clarity ... breathing in what's open
...and , love the 'stepping off the wheel' sis...as the wheel can't see the hub when it's spinning around and around. Brilliant!!! Soul~Girl!!!
I hear you Bridget...and...starting pottery next week, so 'stepping off the wheel' will take on a new tangible meaning as well
I hear you...too...!
Love it!!! Love YOU!!!
Hey sis, this has nothing to do with your awesome intent, but I thought you'd like to know, none of your old intents were lost. All our stuff from the old site was backed up. Just tell Support yours didn't load and they'll fix it. Although you, like me, are totally into Living Now, it's beneficial to look back to see how far we've come. Hope that helps...now I'm off to explore some Sunday afternoon fun...living Now and Loving you!!!
Bridget..thanks but awhile ago i received an email saying they cannot find my former intents and asked me to give them a list for guidance. But as all my inspiration books were being shipped over the past three months from japan, I could not do this. However a couple days ago all 33 boxes safely arrived...if and when I locate some former intents, I may take this further but must say, I also can accept the loss as well. Thanks for looking out for me always (((( x )))) ...!
Beachgirl...I wrote a lot of your intents down in my inspiration books...including many of the commentaries you would write to add atmosphere to them. I have them if you'd like me to share...but as we know, sometimes a loss like this can be a sign urging a fresh start, still, I'm sorry to hear about it. Glad your boxes all arrived...I guess somebody's going to be really busy!!!
I love the way we always digress from the intent and take off on a b&b beachwalk....
...but I must leave our virtual beachwalk and take an actual one for awhile...G'nite sis...till tomorrow...((( l o v e )))...!
!!! b&b beach walk...I like that...!...thanks for the beachgirl intent backup offer...i was pretty sure i could have asked you. But respectfully i chose to wait to 'feel' the way forward especially after throwing out 3/4+ of everything we owned in the move to London. In contrast, it seemed losing my last ~4 years of intents from intent's former site seemed surprisingly refreshing ... and I know you know what I mean because you're a fab S O U L !!! S I S T A ...!!!
((((( Beachgirl )))))...you put the ** S T A R ** in starting over, and, yes... I know what you mean. When life divests us in some way or another of what we 'own' even in our pain we know we are energetically liberated and can now 'travel lighter'. And sis, you're not feeling your way forward alone...I've had your back this whole time, and I know you know what I mean!!!
Hey Beachgirl, I came back to this intent today as I was wondering how you were doing with it, and I see you wrote a recent update. I was intrigued by the intent when you wrote it, and it resonated with me. Our conversation here is funny! But before our tangent, you made the statement, "in awakened states comes discernment which I believe comes before choice", and that feels true to me, as with increased awareness and discernment and wiser choices I'm not feeling as 'spun' by life as I once did.
Just wanted to share that with you, sis...with love...xxxxxxx
Thanks for re-visiting this intent which is likely to be a life-long...to answer your question as to how i am getting on with it, for now i shall say, the answer is what one would see when looking deeply into my eyes.
Yes...same here
Ps...perhaps they would feel it in your loving vibe as well...x
Bridget...x...in the book, "man's eternal quest" by Yogananda, there is a short chapter on this (p323-331) and he writes, "wrong thoughts not only obstruct the (cosmically) perfect thought-pictures of life and body, they also impede the free flowing of the cosmic life force which is responsible for manifesting and perpetuating the delusive picture of the human body" (p330) ...and... "Delusion is mental error common to all individuals (and) illusions are mental errors as experienced by each individual" ... key to transformation and healing is the will, the chief bringer of life force into the body and deterioration is inevitable when will has completely left the spinal column and brain regions ... just sharing ...x
Beachgirl, THANK YOU for sharing as this is so timely in more ways than I can explain...I am searching to buy all 3 Yoginanda books recently recommended...Love to you!!! x
I like to share one last thought...he continued, "when you are tired, you can put energy into your body by eating food or by inhaling oxygen or by absorbing ultraviolet rays of sunshine and drinking liquids....but, as you tense your arm and body in "willing" it to lift a weight, you are "bringing" energy into the body by the invisible mental force of will. In tensing body parts with concentrated will, we find the only instance whereby we can create energy in the body, not from physical sources outside the body, but demo the invisible source existing both within and without..."
Brilliant and so helpful!!! x
Yes, reminds me of Gabby Bernstein and her comment that the first step to inviting in miracles and miraculous change is ........willingness........ a energetic willingness to see things differently ...sounds similar, doesn't it
Yes...and also, about generating the shift from within...vs externally
Beachgirl...I just ordered "Man's Eternal Quest"...wow, what a prolific body of work Yoginanda has left us! Have you read any of his other books (beside "Autobiography...") and if so, what would you recommend?
Whilst focussing on this intent, I found when 'pulled' into unhelpful places, it was possible to envision a circle of peace and step instantaneously into a calm quiet expansive mindful essence at least for a little while. This was powerfully encouraging and in the moment, graciously life affirming and for that, I am and continue to be grateful.
