Morning Zen

freedom. primarily one of the greatest hinderences in life is tied to the ego to the self to the I. there seems to a great hesitation in growth because everything done is done with one thing first and that is the I. It is time to let go of the I. It is time to let go of the ego. To transcend and go beyond. To release the self and become free to be. Take care of the self but do not act/react live for just that self centered ego driven narrow focus of vision and allow nothing else. How to let it go. I to put the self out of the direct line of thought and action. how to bring the self into the forefront of conscience where it can be seen and examined and let go of. As it stands the self hides and directions and commands. It is not seen and not known that all action is by the self. The higher i even does not know that the I is the one in command. How to break through that self into new light?

Morning Zen

for some reason there is a song that keeps coming up for me over the past fews days or weeks. Bob Dylan. I Shall Be Released. Reading the lyrics there is not much there except a lament of being confined seems like a prison song. Maybe that prison of the self. The limitations I put upon me. The confines I keep myself within and do not allow myself to break out of. The holding back of the spirit. Taking a chance. Stepping out. It feels like one of those preacher at the pulpit moments.

Fourty years, at fourty where am I, where were my parents, where were my mentors, where were you, where do you wish to be. At 19 figured I would be dead by 23, by 30 figured at 33 I would be enlightened, at 40 figured life was really just beginning and each day lived as the most percious gift. Many thanks to each and everyone who has brought me this far.

Morning Zen

Go the way of the way. Flash thought of the What Would (fill in the blank) Do?
Relax. Accept. Do the next right thing. How do we know the next right thing? Sit. Pray. Meditate. Seek Counsel. Sit. Pray. Meditate. Seek Counsel. Act or do not Act. Know how you feel when doing things and thinking and taking action. Know how the gut reacts to situations and why. How does this feel? Why? Old old tapes playing songs of self destruction? New known feelings of this is not right? Peaceful good feeling without hesitation? Peaceful feeling but fear of the unknown and new? Identify these feelings and reactions and what is needed to change, proceed or flee.

My phone is working again. A new phone accually. Nice service plan to replace factory defects. The E key sticks a bit, may loosen up with use. Tmobil had made a change to their system too, this caused the MMS to ogger to no longer function. It was fixed yesterday. So messages from the phone are possible again.

Coffee Musings

The rain cleanses again. Change is on the horizion, change like the sun rising,toknow what is to come may be the question of the quest. What next seems to be all now too familiar refrain for me. What next? That is not impending doom in tone but eager anticipation of the wonder that is just ahead.

Coffee Musings

The aroma of the day, drink in the smell, have you ever seen a sound, swam in an ocean of color, danced in a warm ray of moonlight? A cup of porceline holding liquid bliss like the pearlisence of the oyster. Yes, the world is my oyster, now I know what he was saying. Does the coffee lead to understanding or since we know do we come to this place to consume?
