WAY OF BEING


This WAY OF BEING is based on direct observation. (It is not a projection of ideals, or an attempt to solve physical or material problems, or to create wealth, or to possess power). It is a personal submission to the Great Way, not in defeat, but in LOVE, as recognition of the great strength, power, and wisdom.
Its purpose is to serve Being, by bringing into awareness and putting into practice, the sacred responsibility of caring for its growth.
We know, that in order to take good care of something, we need to be sensitive to its needs.
We must also have some idea of the purpose which is expressing itself in the form of these needs.
So, before we speak of caring for Being, we might ask "What is the purpose of Being?"
Observation only reveals that Being is change. So, perhaps what we can honestly say is that all we really know of its purpose is this changing.
As Human Beings we have a choice. We can embrace this changing, or we can fight against it.
I call this changing process growth, as a reminder that Being is a living thing. Being, growth, and health are one and the same. The way of Being is caring for its growth, and its health is a reflection of its quality.

All is One and grows as One.

It is for this reason that compassion is considered important, and why judgment is considered as something to be avoided. Compassion opens the heart, allowing energy to naturally flow, resulting in strong growth. Judgment is essentially a refusal to accept what is. It creates a kind of friction which restricts the flow of energy, and weakens growth.
The practices of extending compassion and refraining from judgment, lead to a greater unity in awareness, and a greater ease in Being. So these are important in caring for the Whole.
There can be great difficulty when it is realized that the opening which is necessary for giving and receiving, is also an open door for negative energy. But this is really a blessing in disguise, because it forces one to find the strength of an even deeper understanding.
The awareness that includes both positive and negative in its growth, it truly whole, and allows one to serve wholeness. From this point of view, it can be seen that all kinds of energy are food for growth, and that which we commonly react to with a negative interpretation (insult, disrespect, disagreement, pain, hardship, etc.) are really lessons for us. When we rise to meet the challenge, we are automatically embodying every available resource of our Being.

Over time, a trust grows, and a skill develops. Then the practice of flowing with it, of allowing it to determine itself, and make of us an ever more understanding, sensitive, and responsive part of it, becomes a service.
But all along, no matter at what stage we may find ourselves, we are truly practicing our sacred responsibility as living creatures. And this practiceis ultimately the essence of value and meaning.
It has no goal and it has no end.
It arises out of LOVE, as the expression of Being itself.
It satisfies itself in its own Being.
Our senses do naturally guide us in this direction. My own sensing of a need has prompted me to write down these thoughts, which originally grew out of my own need and practice. They are meant to nurture the growing awareness. Not to be rigid rules.

Being is the Great Teacher.
