The tide comes in and goes out again.

The sun rises and sets.

Everything cycles.

Cling to anything and sooner or later, nature takes it away.
~
To cherish without clinging is to nurture.

It is the path of true freedom.
In India they have the festival of lights. In the US we have Christmas lights.
~
There is something most fundamental about the psyche here… Lights in fall/winter… The inner light of life. Cultures have traditions rooted in the deepest fundamentals of life.
~
To feed the root of life, nurture, honor and cherish the roots of the culture. Keep it pure. Brush off any moss it may pick up from time to time.
~
Separate the wheat from the chaff, while understanding that divinity lies beyond the reach of secularity. Cultures (traditions) are here to culture humanity. Life is indeed subtle and delicate. Hold it so.
The following is worth sharing. It is from Craig Ballantyne, a fitness guru:

‘ “Experience is not what happens to you. It’s what you do with what
happens to you. It takes a wise man to learn from his own mistakes.”
Kekich Credo #99 …

The more you know about yourself, and the more you respond to this knowledge, the better your results will be. Start immediately.
~
And remember…
~
You are not your mistakes. Do not be too hard on yourself. If you make a mistake – and we all do – just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on track immediately. Learn from your experiences to become a better person each day.’
Ever wish that yogurt did not curdle when you cook with it? There is a simple solution.
~
Whisk about one tablespoon of flour into about a cup of yogurt. That is it. Now you can go creative.
~
For example, sauté some spices in a bit of oil. Add the yogurt/flour mix and cook.
~
How do you know when the flour is cooked? Taste it. If it tastes good, it’s good.
~
Then add some spinach and/or other veggies. Simple, healthy, and delicious.
~
Regarding yogurts, I always buy real yogurt without the gums, etc. In the grocery store, the real thing is usually labeled as ‘Greek yogurt.’ Even the fat free kind makes a great sauce.
My younger daughter was playing with her mom’s iphone and created this picture with one of the apps.

We all have inner knowing. Often, we like things that resonate with that inner knowing, if we are consciously aware of that knowing or not. The picture is eerily similar to the experience of celestial sight, particularly when that sight first opens and is so overwhelmingly new. Later, it becomes more familiar. The image also gives a good sense of what earth spirits are and look like. If you look carefully, you may feel like you can see some in the pictue.

Remembering the paintings in the Hari Krishna books, my daughter’s picture made me think of a client I had years ago. Those Hari Kirshna paintings also hinted at the experience of celestial sight. I remember wondering if the artist had that level of perception. One day, remarkably, he appeared at my door for a session. When I asked him, he said “no” he did not have celestial sight. Yet I explained, like everyone, he did have ‘inner knowing.’
~
You have inner knowing. At first it is touched for moments here and there. To be a person of wisdom means living, speaking, and acting from that place. In a world bombarded with preconceived notions, that is not so easy to do.
