| MRS BILL: LIVIN' ON THE EDGE |
| Your Need-To-Know Info |
| What's the most important thing you need to
know about life in general? How about this: Success is like walking on a
tightrope. If your balance isn't good, you don't stay on top for very long.
If you don't have balance, you don't even make it past the first step.
"But wait!" you say, "How can that be the most important thing in life? What about world hunger, DVDs, the conflict in the Middle East, or fast cars? Aren't they important too?" Yes. In the way that everything has a degree of importance. Listen up, kids, here's the thing: Ultimately, nothing matters Three words that are guaranteed to cause endless debates, much hostility and energy waste. Like: "How can you say that? Death matters! Government waste of our tax dollars matters! The pain and suffering of children dying of starvation matters! Saving the planet matters!" Yes. Those things all matter, to the 3-dimensional forms of our being. And if you choose not to believe that we are more than these 3-dimensional bodies, visit here because you might as well stop reading this. Later, I'll provide more details on why we experience what we do. Right now, accept this: Life is composed of experiences and whether they are good or bad or something in between, these experiences are what life is all about. You see, experience is what your spirit wants from this lifetime. All sorts of experiences. Your spirit wants experience and will create experience for you if you don't go out and create it yourself. Which, by the way, is exactly what you want: you want your spirit to create experiences. Don't be fooled into believing that your mind (which seeks rules and pigeonholes) creates the best experiences for you. Your mind is a powerful tool that is wasted on creating experience. Relying on the logic of your mind for useful experience is as uneducated as relying on a chainsaw to teleport you to Athens. And your body (which seeks sensations) would be just as happy to jump in front of a passing vehicle to obtain experience. Spirit - that's the key to the most empowering life experiences you'll ever have. Listen to your spirit. Intuition. Inner voice. It takes practice, so for those of you starting the journey to successful living, you'll want to start with smaller items to prove to yourself that you can hear your spirit. In fact, you may want to get help with learning to hear your spirit clearly: meditation, prayer, silencing your mind, it's all possible, and unfortunately not common. You may find an avenue of traditional religion that brings you to a quiet mind. You may find an alternate view that works best. Once you find the path to success, you'll wonder what took you so long, and you'll want to share this with everyone else. To get started, you may want to check other sites in the Harmony webring at the bottom of this page. We're a small group, growing to spread the word about success through balance and, well, harmony. Want to join? Have a website that discusses similar views? Check out the Harmony webring.And, since we're in the neighbourhood of success, let's get back to the original thought on life: without balance you're in for a very rough ride. After listening to your spirit, you need to take action which involves body motions and imagination. Your body and mind need to be involved in the process too, or success will remain a vision, not a reality. Oh, those starving children? The only way you'll be able to make any kind of a positive difference in their lives is to follow your path. Your path may include going to a country to distribute food and medicine. Your path may include arranging transportation for food and medicine, or storing these items, or finding these items. Your path may include financing such operations. You won't know the best way to proceed if you're all caught up in body or mind experiences. Spirit tells you the most effective way for you to help with this, and all other, problems of this world. Do you have thoughts on balance, quiet mind, and mind-body-spirit connections? Go ahead, entertain me. |
