Notes to Myself - 4

Children 'embody' the present completely. That is why they are so free.
Their 'presence', by becoming the 'present moment', is a constant reminder for us to get back into ourselves and become the body that we own for the moment.
We need to 'embody' the child in us to get a taste of what it is to be truly free.

Sometimes you feel you don't know if people are listening.
Sometimes you feel people are acting as if they are listening.
Sometimes you feel people are only listening to what they want to listen to.
Sometimes you know that people are just not interested in listening.
And sometimes, once in a while, you find someone who truly listens to you, just the way you want them to.
We are all needy in one way or the other.
I wonder if it is possible to be human and not needy, because I feel that it is being in the neediness that makes us human....
I wonder if it is the understanding of our own neediness that makes us open to be able to understand the neediness of another and truly "listen"

"Each soul is free to choose their reality in
every circumstance, all of the time.
Believe in your own wholeness and you will
choose freedom and peace.
Believe in your own lack and you
will choose neediness and fear."

 

I like what this quote says about how we can choose our own reality....the path I feel is to get more and more aware...and perhaps many problems or conflicts arise only when we try to make others see ONE reality, which is ours, which they can never see, unless they are aware of and understand their own essence AND ours...and maybe the way to that is through the heart, bypassing everything else?
