There’s a great freedom that accompanies that state of mind –
no expectations, no involvement of ego, status-seeking ego. Just a childlike
openness for whatever is to be that opens up the whole universe to you.
The possibilities are endless, the creativity is boundless. It’s the
ocean receiving the wind. It’s the raindrop giving way to the sun.
It is allowance that whatever will be will be. And in that freedom comes
all good, all manifestations of joy, of wealth. That’s nature. The
cat doesn’t walk around wondering if it’s going to get a mouse
tomorrow. The bird doesn’t go around wondering where it’s going
to sleep tonight. It’s free! That’s living in the moment. It
leaves you free to experience what is rather than the confinement of what
might be. It is totally suffocating to the spirit, the mind game of wondering
what will be in the next hour, what will be in the next week, what will
be in the next year. Living should be an explosion of energy meeting whatever.
And as you can imagine, an explosion of energy in of itself creates what
will be. That’s where it is. That’s where living is. Living
Life. Life just is. And you’re making yourself a prisoner of it rather
than an experiencer of it, creator of it. That’s why children before
expectations and limitations harness them in have so much energy. It’s
boundless, it’s effervescent. Then begins the closing down. By age
12 they’re a lifeless, boring, tasteless mass of flesh. I AM present
when there’s an openness to life, whatever it might bring. I AM there.
I AM present when there is a bubbling up of joy just to be. I AM present
when a body leaps into the air. I AM present when one dives off a diving
board or a cliff and with great abandonment plunges into the sea. I AM there
in the stillness of a peaceful sunset. But I AM most attracted to a joyful
abandonment of rules, regulations. That’s freedom from want, from
fear. That’s freedom. Live your life free, not restricted by false
hopes, for what are they but naught. Instead of hopes there should be expectations
of joy, like what is next coming up around the corner? Life is a mystery.
We should be faced with an openness to be, just to be. Remember the laughter
and joy rather than the tears and the pain. It all passes quickly. It either
makes you or breaks you. It either makes you the creator or the acted upon.
Realize the difference. Incorporate into your being the willingness to let
things be. The universe moves into a rather wild abandonment that’s
the chaos theory in motion. That’s what I AM. I AM the beginning and
the end. To experience Me totally you have to be alive, present in each
moment. It’s like a star doesn’t wait to become a supernova.
It just is. That’s why I AM more present in nature in its most primal
stage, because it just is. It acts out its nature and does that without
expectations, without thought, just being. That’s Life. So many times
people come to the end of their life in this dream and realize, “I
was never spontaneous,” “I was never adventurous,” “I
never really felt anything,” “I never really lived.” How
sad, how sad.
A quality of greatness is to be open and willing to whatever will be,
to be without limitation. That is the quality of great leaders, great
inventors, and great composers. They go where others fear to tread. Not
the norm. And that’s where I AM present. I’m more drawn to
that magnetism. Like attracts like, absolutely. Picture if you will a
stupefying, boring, hemmed-in blob of flesh sitting stupefied in fear,
as versus a body twirling, perhaps in ballet, or perhaps walking down
the street totally alive and aware – even if older, and bent with
age. Where is My presence more likely to be? Where are you more likely
to be drawn? Which entity would be of interest to you?
Be the wind, be the storm, be a fire! Just be,
but don’t just exist.
Live! LaHeim!
I guess that’s it – I can’t think of any more similes
to life
One – Walk on the wild side!
Got it?
Yes, I do.
Good! Do it!
Never be defeated. Defeat is a state of mind.
