PROJECT ABUNDANCE-3
THE GNOSIS OF BLISS!
Humanity inherently seeks pleasure, happiness and joy for these are shades of the only true reality- bliss.
Let’s start today’s project work with a joke- a befitting chapter for Project Abundance! A young monk who has been assigned to study the monasteries original archives comes rushing out in consternation; and when questioned by the head abbot he literally rolls his r’s to exclaim “The R…all along the ‘R’ has been forgotten… everyone forgot the ‘R’! The word in the original document is celebRate- not celibate." And yes this sums up our third key of awareness: Life is a celebration! This is the life affirmative approach of project abundance: the approach of the aesthetic instead of an ascetic; the stand of a lover rather than a renunciate; the prayer of rejoicing in the divine all around you in day-to-day ways rather than somber entreaties towards some inexplicable goal!
Thus today, project abundance speaks to you of the glory and splendor of creation; it describes existence as the joyful exploration of divine abundance; it asks you to revel and revere not renounce your participation ; it invites you to enter wholly into whatever aspect of it you have chosen to experience for the whole. Look around you- your current life is the canvas to paint on it what only you can of this infinite richness! In homage to this divine purpose to exist - enter purposefully into the present moment and enjoy all that makes up your day to day life! Use today’s key of awareness to know that through the totality of a life fully embraced do you rise to its finer expression; not through escape from all it offers! Pleasure, happiness and joy are all steps to bliss which pervades existence as its very backdrop or reason to be! Pleasure is experienced in the body through its five senses; happiness through what pleases the mind; joy fills the heart and soul… and just like any stairway gradually takes you higher do you easily and naturally enter the bliss of pure beingness- you renounce but do not alienate; you become ascetic but not austere; you transcend yet remain at the very epicenter of your life and its bounty!
Abundance is your very nature and not something to acquire but simply rest into; and as you remove the blocks within (rather than fret how to address them outside) you open for first time to its constant flow and it pours forth from you. Witness it all around then- the multitude of sparkling stars, the rich velvet sky, the overflowing rivers and profusion of flowers. View it in more personal ways too- the varied relationships and myriad experiences; all that makes up your comfort zones and all that makes up the pure potential of the unknown; your skills and strengths and yes those challenges that lead you ever more to new heights. Feel it indeed in the constant unflagging heart beat and the breaths full of infinite life force! Participate in the joy and wonder of life’s richness and watch as it waltzes merrily with you! Seek not to know as much as to enjoy the divine all around! Make your feel good factors your inner guidance system! Your inner joy is your measure of true abundance!
Once again, use words to go beyond them… catch their wordless essence as mystics through the ages murmur: Love and goodness and joy — these are the attributes of the Light and the only true reality. The rest is illusionary- Yehuda. “Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever fulfilled” -Walt Disney! “Whatsoever feels good is good, whatsoever feels beautiful is beautiful, and whatsoever makes you joyful, delighted is truth. Let that be your only criterion.” Osho

There is no better version of yourself to be sought. There will be evolution, yes, but it is not movement from bad to good, but rather natural growth and change as you go through the stages of your life... and 'was' passes away ... to become what 'is'. |
