We miss the invitation to participate in a broader life because we are caught in a smaller one. We long for wide-open spaces but all we do is expand our vistas with desires. We don't see because we are always thinking about ourselves. We don't see the people we interact with we see through our reactions to them. We are missing life's invitation. We can't be present to life without being a witness to where we are looking. We only see the end of the river but that river opens up into the ocean. What we see in the least is a taste of the greater. When we stand in the stream we can touch the ocean.
All true change takes place through a connection to a higher understanding. Attention follows desire. In order for attention to change you, you have to change what you love. This life is a preparation for love. When we love someone, we think and put him or her before ourselves. Earthly love is an indication of a greater love intended to lead a person to the source of true love. Right emotion in one human being stirs right emotion in another and a connection between them is born. There is a stream of understanding communicated between them. Mind and heart are not individual but are an inlet into an ocean. Every moment is an inlet into the heart.
You can't be stirred by love as long as you stir yourself. It is scary to let anything into your world that you can't control. You are enclosed because you are envisioning the end of something and you become inflexible and loss the life stream of creativity. When you want something, you are inflexible and die to the possibility of real relationship.
What you want is to be a human being who is always perfectly responses to the request of the moment so you don't have to think about what to do to feel good about yourself. To be in perfect relationship with everyone at all times. This nature is the root of your true nature and not the present root we derive our life from now.
Light is the reformation of the matter it enters into. Something is changed because of the advent of life into it. Reformation of the soul is the reclaiming of the soul by the light that reveals it. We derive a sense of self by considering ourselves. Our ideas are filled with pleasant sensations. We have a self-tapping root that is always drawing from itself and the more it draws the more inflexible it is. We redefine the end and lose sight of the love. Love is what realizes love. It is the only thing that can know love. Love has no end in mind. It isn't trying to make anything happen.
We pressure people to do what we want them to do. Why are we not a part of the steam, river and ocean? It is because desire my end wants what it wants and everything that needs to happen for change is choked off.
Every moment is a constant reflection. It is possible to experience an endless world. Instead of a world you are trying to keep from ending. God is love. Every moment is an invitation to experience your relationship with wholeness. Your vision has an ending point, limitation. What love is, is seeing the beginning and the ending all at once taking place inside of you. You have interior eyes, a heart and mind that knows that which created it. Don't be a captive to considering your creations but see the end. Part of us is supposed to extend out to eternity. Begin giving up the little life. Resentment is a self-tapping root that you suffer from. Begin the process, establish communication and get rid of the interference that prevents you from seeing the whole of that movement.
