Be the Flow

December 30, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

“Action arising out of insight into what is required is more effective than action arising out of negativity.” Eckhart Tolle

__________________________

Negativity is resistance of any kind. We mistakenly translate the feeling of resistance as our power, our center. I resist, therefore I exist, we are conditioned to feel. Stick you hand in a flowing stream and you feel your hand. Let your hand flow with the stream and you don’t feel your hand. OH…where did I go. I can only feel myself when I resist the flow.

Life is a flow. Life IS time. But when I resist I feel time. I want to know how long this resistance, the pain of me will last. And I find strategies to remove the pain of time by ironically creating more time as future.

Action rising our of Insight is action that is in the flow of life, not resisting and reacting to the flow. Insight action is creative action. Life is creative. Life is creating itself as a flow. Being in alignment with the moment through the surrender of resistance, changes the paradigm from being outside of time, resisting time, to being time. The cessation of resistance as suffering is the cessation of being in resistance to time.

Awaken Insight Meditation

AIM is a website where I share my Dharma Insights in my everyday mind. My daily experiences are metaphors that point to the Truth that is One. Paths are many, but the Dharma is One. I invite you to walk with me on my journey. I also invite you to enter into creative dialogue with the post, for then we push it forward and get some traction in our life.
