There can be no net change to All That Is.

The conservation of energy principle shows us that.

'' Law of the Conservation of Beauty: that across reality as a whole, beauty may never be lost or gained,
created or destroyed, but only may change or be changed into a different form.

And the Law of the Conservation of Love?
That Law states that love may never be created or destroyed but only may change or be changed into a different form.
Such as hate, or fear. ''

[G_burnett]

there can only be a change by the lacking of entry prior to symmetry or god forbid the adding of substance to the fray prior to symmetry.

The difference between Awe-ful and awful, is merely an 'e'.

Which 'e'?

The ego, which is ever judgmental, and in order to be objective in our observations, 'e' needs go, which results in all we observe as having a beauty and being that is aweful unto itself.

The intrinsic value, or natural value of things, just as they are.

Not everything needs improving upon....

Just my opinion....

Good post LW.

Now, I share this wonderful verse below....enjoy.




"Everything in duality
is moving.

It exists in a constant state
of activity.

And if you are aware of this
constant state of activity
instead of engrossed in it,
then you experience
the bliss of action.

Instead of being involved
with the objects themselves
and their movement,
your attention remains
on the essence of the objects
and movement
which is energy itself.

Whether physical, mental or emotional
it is all energy moving.

You enjoy the constant flow
of energy as bliss.

You remain unattached
to the movement
and therefore
you watch the movement happen
as awareness itself
as bliss itself
as energy itself.

You are energy,
action arises in energy
and disappears in energy
all on it's own.

There is nothing personal
in it.

If you can remain
in this state of witnessing,
in meditation
then all action slows down.

(If you are engrossed
in the action
you empower it
and it speeds up,
but if you remain detached
as the witness it slows down.)

It is like you turn the fan off
and although the fan still spins
it loses momentum.

Thoughts become more slow
and subtle,
each burning away in consciousness
in a burst of bliss.

And then even your heart rate slows down,
breathing slows down and may even stop.

Any effort to try and do any of this
and again you are engrossed in action
and exist as ego
and separate yourself from awareness.

But as the actionless witness
it all slows down
and even comes to a standstill.

That is the point of stillness
where you disappear.

Only an extremely subtle sense
of awareness remains,
and everything seems to get reset.

When you come out of it,
every cell of your being
seems to be replenished back to it's
natural state of peace.

And so when you come out of this stillness
even if it was only for a few seconds,
everything is fresh and new and alive,
everything is radiating peace and love.

You can't do it
and you can't attain it.

But when you rest in a
state of automatically
giving up everything that arises;
in a state of effortless unattachment
then it happens.

And in this everything stops arising
and comes to a stand still.

Awareness turns in on itself
and disappears into vast
limitless consciousness.''

This may seem a strange remark, yet I have experienced a strangely detached state of mind on Saturday's of late.

Previously a frustration of the highest order, when examined from a ratio of work to time available, I undertook to tackle the problem from both sides of the mind.

Analytically, the process has been examined and reworked to the highest possible efficiency for each step of the task.

Personal experience of five years of products, seasonal cycles, trends and changes has been factored in.

A capable assistant with personal energy of similar alignment, in that, we view this task of one accord, undoubtedly one of the factors.

Said assistant soon to move on to a new capacity, which should prove beneficial to the individual, , hence I am pleased for them.

Remains to be seen if I may retain this blissful relationship with the energy of the labels, or if circumstances will endeavor to draw me back in.

'Things are what they are'.

Hmmmm.....should change my answering machine message to 'Don't call me; I'll call you.'

Very much enjoyed that post, Melanie.
