We humans seem to keep rushing forward.  Getting this thing.  Trying that.  Achieving this goal at work.  Just Do It.   Go for the gold, get the promotion, win the contest.  Seize not only the day, but everything else.  And teach our children well…. we start our kids doing the very same thing…. in every program and every sport. Lest they be left behind.

Somewhere along the line, we got caught in this swirling skirmish that is perpetuated and reinforced by social and cultural means.  We get overtaken by  this impervious consumerism.  We lose track of our authentic selves.  Super-doooped-up lifestyles and  materialistic mindsets.  It all gets so complicated.  I am as guilty as the rest.

And.  As a result. We have forgotten some of mankind’s biggest life secrets along the way.  Too many to mention here.  But a few important ones, I suspect…

We have forgotten our place on earth.  In nature.  And in the universe. In the last few hundred years we have lost our communications in nature. We exploit it, and try to control it, and waste it.  The Native Americans had a handle on the listening to and understanding the natural cycles of the earth.  Its rhythms.  We have forgotten how to follow nature’s path and live in balance with it.  And eating Oat Bran Cereal in the morning, may not be quite enough.

And another.  There used to be ancient wisdoms.  We have forgotten these too.  Our ancestral soundness.  The stories.  The traditions, and legends. Scientific knowledge has abounded.  The head and logic over rule all.   And because of this, we have let go of  the true learning through the opening of our hearts.  The possibility of the magic.  We miss that very incredible harmony with the universe.  And eating Lucky Charms Cereal in the morning, may not be quite enough.

There are many more.  But maybe the biggest is this. Everything is Love…. and connected energy.

This is an all-encompassing truth. It is hidden somewhere deep inside of us.   All of us.  Somewhere along the line, the most of us forgot this notion of  inner-peace and love.  The everything of everything… is energy ….. and consciousness.  Most of all…. we once understood that love is the fundamental fabric of existence….  and it runs through all energy and consciousness.  We simply need to remember how.  I guess oatmeal might help.

Simply.
Then why does it all seem so very complicated?  So very often.

If I could throw a coin in the fountain and wish it all exactly as I want it to be… I am sure I would get splashed.

All we can do, on any given day, is try to open our hearts, our minds, and our selves…. to all which is in, around, and through us.  Simply.
