And today I paste  above a lovely note from tut website - seemingly verrrry simple - yet encompassing some verrrrrry deep fine nuances- indeed the very bridge we are traversing on Tuesdays which takes us from empowered personal consciousness to the surrender of universal consciousness!

For the beginners:
- Know what you want
-Hold its vision clearly within you
-See, touch,taste, feel the END result ...indeed live from that end of the continuum... speak from there; don that identity deep within.
-In that you will know (other than intellectually) that it already is, and thus 'it'  the 'goal' will beam 'back'   ideas and guidance (epiphanies)  to 'discover' what already is, and the journey itself becomes passionately enjoyable...!
-Passion implies enjoying the journey, reveling in its every moment! Passion implies commiserate action... automatically... where you cant but help do whatever you feel so passionate about; passion truly implies living in the Now! Passion awaits not results but embraces the now towards it! Passion is automatic  focus! Passion doesn't not take no for an answer  for there is no, No, in passion! And thus passion insists not on any set path because in the passion you 'think' not as much do whatever comes up!Passion is thus empowerment...and surrender!

For the more seasoned:
-And this blend (or actually what starts as a bridge then blend and then becomes a merger)  of Empowered Creator shaping your creations, with the Surrender of Creatorhood - is that finely honed NON-SELF from which optimal living happens! Desires arise, Passion is there, Dedication and Discipline too... and in this Devotion to whatever the 'Whole' seeks through 'you'... optimal Action flows.
-So think not that Surrender implies no desire or goal or action! Think not surrender takes you away from empowered beingness. Indeed know that Surrender is  True Empowerment... know that True Empowerment is only in this Surrender  and ITS desires, actions, experiences. The limited 'you' has side skipped out of this sweep of the brushstroke on the larger canvas;   it has switched alliance from simply empowered self to free flowing existence/creation itself; it has  become one with All That is...
-In 'That'... 'you' ( the beingness within you ) cant help but LET-GO; In 'This' ...'you'  (the beingness within you )  cant help but  REST... even as 'you' ( the beingness within you ) desires and acts... 'you' straddle both in the NOW.  Its Not  whether you live from empowerment 'or' surrender; you  live from both simultaneously. Its not should i have 'goals' or 'let them happen' you live  from both simultaneously. (Tarot students ... 2 of pentacles, both aspects continued  within the infinity symbol, playfully encompassed-  no need to be one or the other!)

Thus its all about the Now. And the Now is pure passion. Pure Life force. Pure Divine Will of every moment, every occurrence, every though,feeling, action...which bursts into whatever is required for the whole in the Now!The Now is 'God'... but thats another stroy for another email!
