Subject: [K-list] what if
From: Michael Read

What if they threw a war and no one came?!
What if they threw a party and no one came?!
Light, Love, and Laughter is available for all of us.
So of course is bitterness, judgement, pain, and strife.
Can a person choose how they will live? Yes and no.
No: when in a active/reactive state. In this state everything and
everyone is weighed by your internal sense of how things should be.
You are merely responded to stimulus. The stimulus may be real or
imagined.
Yes: when we start to see that we are reacting to events and we start
to take an honest look at this we can begin to let go of the
active/reactive way of living. How do we start seeing that we are
living our lives merely in response to stimulus? We begin to have a
sense that something just isn't working.
We start to see that there are programmed responses within us. If we
are lucky, we start to have those experiences that allow us to
question our belief system. An example of this is when we intend to
say one thing but actually are suprised to find ourselves saying
something else. Or, we find ourselves becoming upset (even violently
ill) in circumstances that to another seem totally ordinary.
[my sister's first husband was a mountain of a man. he was 6'4" and
about 300 pounds. if he saw you dunk a donut into your coffee, he lose
all color, would double over in agony and begin retching. and he could
not talk about it!]
The natural process of life calls us to be well rounded, joyful,
gentle, mature, and whole beings. It is also natural forces that stunt
our growth. We are all products of nature. We all have plateaus during
our growth. And we do continue to grow no matter how long we may
appear to be stuck on a plateau. Of course our body may die while we
are exploring an anger plateau, a victim plateau, a self righteous
plateau, a joyous giving plateau and so on.
These plateaus are not so much a progessive series of levels rising
higher and higher until we reach some sort of state of divinity. These
plateaus are scattered across a vast plane of existance. From time to
time we may find ourselves on a plateau that gives us a somewhat
'higher' perspective and we thereby may get a little 'boost' in our
growth process.
What are we growing toward or becoming? Whole, living, laughing,
loving, courageous, involved, compassionate, and caring beings. We
become open to the unbounded wonder and miracle of existance.
There is a wellspring of peace inside of each of us. If we look for
it, we can find it. If we focus our attention on what is right or
wrong with somebody else, we can miss it.
May each of us have a long and prosperous life filled with beauty and
joy.
HAHAHAH and HOHOHO!
Peace - it is easy to be god - Michael
ps - as long as one does not believe one's publicity! :-)
