I sat out at the beach today watching the birds swoop and dive into the water and so on. I started thinking that Nature has an order. I see nothing wrong with Nature in fact. The animals harmonize with the elements and everything falls into the “circle of life”. I realized this “divine order” is ours as well. There are really only two choices in the grand scheme of things: to flow with the order, or to create our own order within the greater order. The animals live by the first. Most people on this planet live by the second. But, here’s where it gets tricky because you see, while most people live by the second choice they’re not doing it in its true essence because they either live completely disconnected from the natural order or they’re living by someone else’s version of the order. To describe the natural order, I thought of the birds. The bird utilizes the elements, wind and water to sustain itself flowing with the airways. But, the airways don’t chose for the bird where to fly or where to land, that’s up to the bird. The wind is merely the means by which the bird makes these choices. That is where humans make the disconnection. To live truly by the second choice, we must also incorporate the first. We must live with the flow of the natural order and use the circumstances and opportunities presented to us by this order as a means of making our choices. Life is going to happen around us all the time and it’s naturally going have it’s ups and downs. When you feel sad or happy, BE sad or happy. Experience what you’ve attracted into your life and see it as the “experience” it was meant to be. You are not sad or happy, you are EXPERIENCING sadness or happiness. When you get a grasp on this concept of simply experiencing our choices rather than being ruled by them, then one will realize the freedom in making choices and you can actively choose the experiences you wish to bring into your life. You cease to have a “good” day based on how you’re feeling but by how you’re choosing to utilize the circumstances of that day. Therefore, everyday can be a good day! This is truly living in harmony and peace because every choice you make is the right choice. If you just experience circumstances without being victimized by them then you can neither be angered by another’s actions or brought down by daily happenings. You can see others’ actions as choices they’re making for their own experience and you can exude love and acceptance to them and live and let live. Life is fulfilling in this manner and that’s where we see true enjoyment and gratitude for being alive. We must also thank the Earth everyday and worry not for her. Imagine what a wise being the Earth must be for giving of herself in order for our Experience and growth. This is the love of a mother and child. The purest form of love, the love of Creation, and we’re living in it!
