Everyday, somewhere, history is being made. What may be important to some, has no meaning to another's reality. 500 years from now someone reading the accounts of this year, may look on what some people may consider a miracle and see it as no more significant than a bear taking a shit in the woods. It's all about perspective. Sacred Hoop teachings help us to understand that we are souls that have been transmigrating from the beginning of time through the universes of everything that is alive. We've gone through the plant kingdom, the insect kingdom, the four-legged kingdom, the kingdom of flying ones and swimming ones. These material forms have held our souls here in this prison-house called "Life". We have been part and parcel of "all that is", for all time. It is only in this human form that we have the ability to become self realized and God realized.
The prison has been extremely uncomfortable and miserable for so many people, and for others they are what the mystics call, "Comfortably miserable". The real question remains for all those seeking truth; Is having a new Warden enough for you? Do you forget that you're away from your true home and rejoice in the possibility of having a few more creature comforts that the prison hasn't provided you in the past, or do you continue to work towards a pardon from the prison. The warden only has limited powers. How do you get the attention of the one who has the key to the prison, so you can be free forever? Are you going to continue to be a repeat offender? Have you been "Institutionalized" or are you trying to make sure that when the feather gets laid on the scale, all debts are paid and you get to experience.....Tranquility?
Obtaining... no, earning... no, working for a "pardon" truly takes blood, sweat, and tears. You can't "obtain it", because it isn't sitting on a store shelf for selection and purchase. You can't simply "earn it" because you can't do a few... or a lifeload of good deeds to be worthy of a "pardon". You have to do some work. You have to work so hard on "self" that there are no "good deeds" to recognize... only "good living" that results in deeds by which our brothers and sisters are blessed.
ReplyDeleteNone-the-less... this "pardon" is no easy trip... but being extradited from one prison house sentence to another isn't to be taken as a joke!

I have a need to repost. It's a sign of a great message and an open heart that one can read the same thing over and over again and be blessed with a slightly different focus of message.
