2nd August 2012
. Trust…. this is what life asks of us. Once you allow life just to be itself you will suddenly be freed of so many worries. The only question you will still have is: ‘What do I want? What can I do to be myself?' When we can feel this, once we know this, every decision we make becomes a source of joy and strength because now we know that we are on the right track - whatever it is we do and whatever might be the result of our doing it. Every day is then a new adventure, a new sequel….now who wouldn’t jump out of bed in the morning for that! Regards from Marie . Meditation for the full moon of 2nd August 2012 Master Morya, There may be many different complexities in your life. This is the reason you should try to become conscious of what is pulling at the strings of your heart, what is important to you personally and what it is that stops you for working that out in your life. It may be that you deal with people too cautiously, letting them do as they please, letting them steamroll right over you and, unable to come up with an answer, afterwards always thinking: 'I did it again, I let them get the best of me, I shouldn’t have let it happen, I was being too good' and finally you end up losing sleep over it and this whole manoeuvre is unnecessary. It’s important - and this is something I will always stress - that you try to be yourself, that you try to live from out of the deepness of your heart. Don’t let yourself be fooled by what others do, what they say or what they want of you, and don’t try to find favour with anyone - not your father, not your mother, not your brother, not your sister. Just arrange your life in the way that you feel is important. Because it’s a fact that you can do too much for people. And then, are they grateful? Not at all, and they don’t have to be….but you should wrestle yourself free. You should try to become someone who is free, someone who loves getting up in the morning, doing your own things, calmly attending to what needs to be done, steeped in concentration. It can be of great importance to your personal life to take this small step, to have the feeling: 'I matter in people’s lives; even if they don’t appreciate me, even if they criticize me, I know that what I’m doing is good'. This goodness, which you can recognize and turn to in your own life, is what stops you from being afraid. Once you know: ‘I’m doing something good; I’m a good person; I’m doing my best’, then you can lose the fearful habit of wanting to be in everyone’s good books, of continually checking yourself: 'Did I do it right? Was it enough? Was it adequate? Did I perhaps do too much?' You may feel that this kind of deliberation is a necessity for you, but if you could reach a point of not needing to deal with this you would really have a different kind of life. You would be able to breathe freely, go wherever you like and do whatever you like. This means: you are making yourself free! Master Morya Copyright © Geert Crevits, www.morya.org .
