So you may have ( or probably have not ) noticed a complete lack of political posts from me in the last 2 or 3 years.
Well, I always knew politics was bogus, however in 2018/19 I was encouraged to investigate the fact that politics is an important part of life , that it dictates the direction of life. And I suppose I found this to be true, to varying degrees.
Of course, as a teacher of release, I was interested in the fact that certain views hindered my students growth, and certainly my own success in the practice – so I delved into the notion of this political/worldly stance.
But after a while, I realised that I was headed in the wrong direction.
Holding worldly stances, is just that – holding – onto – worldly stances.
This holding just caused tension that I could see in myself, and friends.
So, in this world that I create, unless I consciously bring in the NEWS from the outside, most of the ‘terrible things’ don’t really turn my world into hell. Yes sure, there are challenges, but this is life, this is God, Yin/Yang, the Universe, my karma or whatever. My world is thus. There are challenges. Shit happens.
Now, If I sit back and contemplate the old political view, historical views, or social views, I may agree with them , however the very act of sitting back and contemplating those views, is taking me away from the essential task.
Every moment of that contemplation, is a moment of distraction.
Instead, to the best of my ability, I will use my moments to see, know, and release with in my world – with all the goods and bads , all the components of God , Yin Yang, the Universe , Kamma , Life.
With thanks and love.
