The circles we continuously run

[TheJourney]

All things in life are repetitive and wearisome patterns that won't stop, and will never really solve anything. The problem is in believing that the thoughts and analyses that continuously flow through your head will solve anything, or hold any substantial purpose. When you believe this, you chase them, not realizing that you are running around in a circular pattern that you have already ran an uncountable number of times, leading you here, where you feel that you have to run it again. It has never done you any good, and it never will.

If you are going to say, think, and do things, best to do it in the spirit of playful and detached enjoyment. There is no sense of urgency, or feeling that you must accomplish anything. Rather, you are just playing; doing what seems right or preferable in the moment, not concerned with outcomes.

Yes because we (or at least some of us) actually believe much of the bull crap the contemporary "new agers" feed us at their seminars and cruises.
Much of that is misdirection and horse manure. We have free will and we can learn past mistakes and move on - then and only then the cycle stops and you'd see the light at the end of the tunnel. We cannot control others or other's behavior but we can control our own thoughts and are own reaction to the world. Accept it, this is a way it is. F'd up. It will get better or not, no matter we shall live on. The spirit IS indestructible, while the body is shed like the python's skin and a new incarnation comes. Ever notice that the contemporaries that we lap up like sugar, never mention karma and reincarnation much, and if so they are doing it dismissive, ignorant way? Spirituality and the path IS ACTION! Not just talks or writings or meditation. Positive action->positive outcome. No action, NOTHING.
Until that changes we shall go in circles as a community and as a nation.

A great observation ... Just the other day I had a similar note ...

Reflections: An Opportunity to Heal

All perspectives are based on their own time. A perception that is right for one time may not be the correct perspective for another time. This is why we get confused. We think we must carry the same perspective with us at all times. This causes confusion, because there is no one right perspective. There is only what must be, when it must be. This is always in flux.
