One Way

Get into the flow... meditative, creative, active, productive, receptive, interactive. Where is the common ground of being for all life experience(s), where one remains consistently and joyfully in the zone?

Seeing = Doing.... where both the logical planning mind and the imaginative wish fulfillment part, the future and past mental orientations respectively, are removed and absent from immediate conscious presence. To SEE is to no longer remain unclear or confused about what action to take next... no thoughts about right or wrong action, a simple choice to DO or not do the right thing.

Confusion exists only where people (like me) become stuck up in their heads. There really is only one way to go, one right answer directly in front of me, and any/all thinking about "what should I do next, later or a year from now" can only lead to further confusion. Either one is present or absent... awake or asleep. It is never a matter of not knowing what to do...

From a broader perspective, it comes down to a simple choice... Uplift and regenerate the psychic mental emotional body through right living OR downgrade and destroy it through destructive wrong living. Acceptance of vast soul potential and the life practice that exercises this to the fullest extent OR seeking immediate escape and gratification from the austerity of the path by giving in to temptations or mistaking these for opportunities. It is the grooves, compulsions, patterns and habits of the mind that one must be mindful of. Will I spend the day in front of the television drinking beer or will I do something creative, productive, meaningful, even inspirational with this day? The choice is mine.

That which I quote as a universal truth should be free of dogma and the "tyranny of absolutes", and conversely individual truth, based on the particular needs for individual fulfillment and interests that develop, must be full of conviction and definite answers involving right or wrong, good or bad, black or white, choice A or choice B... here there is no middle path nor any room for indecision. The Universal and Individual frequently operate on opposite yet co-existing principles, and it is this contrast that adds multi-dimensional depth and meaning to our existence.
