My Own Keeper

earthinourhandsDissolving the labels, removing judgment, we arrive at a place of self-acceptance. With self-acceptance comes universal acceptance. Whether Christian, Muslim or Jew; Republican, Democratic or Independent, we are all on a similar path towards happiness. What works for one, may not necessarily work for another…only the Believers shall know the truth.

I was recently on a diving trip with a friend in Jupiter Beach Florida and we both concluded that maybe we were not just there for the diving experience. While the Scuba Diving was awesome, it was not the purpose of our encounter. We began speaking of what matters in life…the experiences we have gained.

We hadn’t seen each other for at least fourteen years and reminisced over memory lane. While we both caught each other up to modern-day, we both concluded that nothing of the past had mattered except that it brought us to present day. We further concluded that tomorrow may never come…leaving today as the one and only.

We often hear about ‘living in the moment,’ but what does it truly mean? To live in the moment is to be fully committed at whatever it is you do. Is it janitorial? Executive level? or just mere recreational? Whatever it is, do it with all your heart. Fully committed to the moment, we are truly living the experience. It is within each of our experiences that we find life.

The true giving and receiving of life is within the experiences of life. As we live the experience, the experience gives life.~Ani Po

experiences give life

Once we understand the giving of life through sharing the experience, we are left to interpret it as a blessing or a curse. Rising above our attachment to things, we arrive at a place of oneness. At the level of oneness, the blessing and the curse become one. As they become One we expand Life Force, within, forever outward.

Further…as we experience our own, others are experiencing theirs. Without judgment, we observe…learning to enjoy their experiences through their eyes. Thereby letting go of all attachments, we become lost. In becoming Lost, we are found.

In finding ourselves, we return back to the labeling of things. We label everything and everyone, judging them for being different. When we are found, the differences dissolve…leaving only its beauty. Within our differences, we find similarities. Labels are merely labels to associate things…not judging of things.

Accepting other peoples’ varying beliefs or ideals, we accept our own. No longer our neighbors keeper…but our own.

Stepping into the Canvas as our own keeper. We have enough to worry about in the world, let alone worry about our neighbors problems of life. Focusing our intent on our own, expanding it to where it is needed, it shall flow with great abundance. Realizing the Prana within is without…waiting to serve our every need.
