My question is "Why do we continue to behave in ways that only bring us more of what we don't want? Why is it easier to be miserable, than to take a quick painful look at what it is, inside, that we are running, hiding, numbing out from? Why are we so afraid of our emotions?" I have no answers, only more and more questions. Sometimes I think we are afraid of opening up to the power that is in and around us...God, if you will. I think we have far more to fear from our own egos than from the power of that created all that is, was, and ever will be. What would happen if all living things stopped fearing and started trusting in the power that created us?  What kind of world would that be? It can only be done one heart, one soul, one mind at a time. I'm in. I want a better world.  How about you?

I listened to two teachings today. One was from the "Original Prayer" by Neil Douglas-Klotz, an Aramaic scholar among other things, and one called "The Power of Intention" by Dr. Wayne Dyer. The later opened with the saying, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change".The gist is what we focus on and mull over, we will draw into our life, or create in our life.
The teaching by Neil Douglas-Klotz is deep. I'm going to listen to it many times I'm sure.(It can be purchased at www.soundstrue.com ) Actually, I would like to memorize it.  It gives a much expanded understanding of the prayer the "Our Father", the well known Christian prayer. In a word, it's about opening fully to God (Allaha, as Jesus would have called God in his native Aramaic tongue) and bringing this awareness into our every breath and everyday lives. We are not separate from God, ever. We are of God, in God, with God. God is the air we breath.  If Jesus said "The things I do , shall you do and greater too.", then it behooves us to make an effort to understand the deeper things of God, and be LOVE. What do you think?
