My mother and I have been feeling for years like "the world" was just not right...and that there was something greater emerging from within us that was part of a greater whole emerging from others all over the world. A "Blessed Unrest" if you will. After years of searching, I think we are beginning to identify the source of those feelings.
This morning, I was reading "Rich Dad's Before You Quit Your Job" by Robert Kiyosaki. I'm reading about Spiritual Money, and how this "money" comes to a person when they embrace their Mission...when they really become a professional with their talents by developing their talents to the most perfect they can make it and then sharing it with the world. Kiyosaki's "rich dad" explained that when one works toward one's Mission in life to make the world better, then others with the same mission find one, and the powers of God (or Spiritual Money) come to one's aid.
Quan Yin, the bodhisattva of Compassion (depicted upper left) has been coming to mind lately. Jesus embodies this principle as well. Compassion--Mercy--Love, absolute and unconditional. I know that I have discovered the basics of my mission, but I have not mustered myself above the laziness and doubt that beset me. Along those lines as well, I try to beat myself and force myself to grow. A tree does not force itself to grow...it yeilds to the potential within it. Rather than yeild to temptation, could I try yeilding to progress? I fight change within me, but the growth happens regardless...and the result is gnarling within this old shell, and a great deal of pain...so much more pain than to simply allow the old scales to crack and fall away.
I want to eat Quan Yin. Ingest her, digest her, metabolize her, become her, never hunger again.
I wish the entire earth were covered in her footprints.
