A Time For Reflection

As summer fades into the sunset, I begin to look inwardly; much like a bear hibernating for winter. I evaluate my life in terms of what I am doing in comparison to what I say I would like to do.

Relationships are still the dominant force in my life. Just being with people who love me unconditionally. Those with whom I trust with my life. Those who I am tied to in a spiritual bond of love and friendship.

I recently met a Vice President of Human Resources for a Hospital Organization. She was not only fascinating in her power to influence her colleagues, but also had a "presence" that emanated energy of the highest frequencies. I found myself simply fascinated to be around her.

These are the types of people we all have in our lives when we stop to reflect on how they have supported us in times of difficulty and crisis. The most powerful support is having us recognize the power within ourselves to overcome any difficulty we create in our lives.

I have the belief that "problems and solutions " are created simultaneously. Problems are clearly visible and solutions are hidden from us. That means that we are ultimately the only ones who can solve our problems. However, in order to do so, we must resolve some aspect of our ego belief system. This is very difficult to do since most of us believe we are right about any conflict we have!

If you are presently going through a difficult time at present, then let me know anonymously and the combined effort of this site's readers will offer our solutions. I'll post your situation anonymously. You might get some free, valuable ideas for resolution!

Let's hear from YOU.

Yes you are right: problems and solutions are created simultaneously and we are the only ones being able to find our answers. Presently I am going through a hard time given to me by a very close friend. He is a ZEN-practitioner, very intelligent and used to work with people. Our relationship is based on truth and trust. Otherwise we could not work together in the way we do. He is leading me to see how I'm acting and behaving. Not easy to face. My part is to lead him. Though I'm not that used to do these things as he is, I am able to give him help whenever he needs it. I admire his way to deal with his "dark sides" and problems.
I am aware we all have those good and bad inside.
This way of friendship is a very new way for me. It's a mutual respect and honour.
Willingness to discover ourselves is a very exciting adventure.
Like Kabir, the Indian poet said:
Jump into experience while you are alive ... What you call "salvation" belongs to the time before death.

What I've learned: I really love to jump, even if it is jumping into the unknown!

ANIMAL KINGDOM Animal Kingdom: A Diversity Fable.
The message of this book is quite simple and straightforward: “When we gain the humility to compatibly resolve our differences — both within and among different groups — we will also gain the wisdom to live and work together in greater harmony.” In Animal Kingdom, the message is to learn to “see through the eyes of others as a necessity to compatibly live and work together to survive an impending crisis. But in order to work together, each group must first learn how to set aside their own opinions, ideas, and even values in order to avoid an impending crisis.
