transformation ( Archived) (25)

yes it is possible to correct one self and desirable.Thats growing.If there will be a total understanding ? ,i doubt it, its an endless growing, bit by bit. The first step to it, is unconditional accepting of youself,imo.

pedro i hope you don`t mind me posting a short story about "growing"
You can replace the word god also by "higher-self"


“Upon the same tree there are two birds, one on the top, the other below. The one on the top is calm, silent, and majestic, immersed in his own glory; the one on the lower branches, eating sweet and bitter fruits by turns, hopping from branch to branch, is becoming happy and miserable by turns. After a time, the lower birds eats an exceptionally bitter fruit, and feeling miserable, he looks up and sees the other bird, that wondrous one of golden plumage who eats neither sweet nor bitter fruit, who is neither happy nor miserable, but calm and centered in the Spirit. The lower bird longs for this condition, but soon forgets it, and again begins to eat the fruit, which makes him once again feel miserable, and he again looks up, and he tries to get nearer to the upper bird. Once more he forgets, and after a time he looks up again, and so on he goes again and again, until he comes very near to the beautiful bird and sees the reflection of light from its plumage playing around his own body. He feels a change, and as he comes nearer, he seems to melt away, and everything about him melts away until as last he understands this wonderful change. The lower bird was, as it were, only the shadow, the reflection of the higher; he himself was in essence the upper bird all the time. This eating of the fruits, sweet and bitter, this lower little bird, weeping and happy by turns, was merely a vain dream: all along the real bird was there above, calm, and silent, glorious and majestic, beyond grief, beyond sorrow. The upper bird is God, the Lord of this universe; and the lower bird is the human soul, eating the sweet and bitter fruits of this world.
Now and then comes a heavy blow to the soul. For a time, he stops eating and goes toward the unknown God, and a flood of light comes. Yet again the senses drag him down, and begins to as before eat the sweet and bitter fruits of the world. Again, a hard blow comes. Again, his heart becomes open to the divine light; thus gradually he approaches God, and as he gets nearer and nearer, he finds his old self melting away. When he has come near enough, he realizes that he is no other than God, and he exclaims, “He who is the One Life of this universe, as present in the atom as in the suns and moons – He is the basis of my own life, the Soul of my soul and I Am That.

I agree, I train every day, and really miss it if I don't, but I feel so much better apart from the natural endorphin, like you I also carry a back pack, it's quite heavy.

thats nice,doing some training for the body.Healthy food is imo very important, there is so healthy good food available. The food is healthy and then you. But how about some "training" for your inner beeing? Can you commit five minutes or fifteen minutes a day to allowing more love, compassion and stillness into your life? Making a time commitment can be helpful especially as you are beginning to practice. For me it was an immense help. How did you like this story above? #3 ? Would you like to coment?
