Where to Now?

I've been travelling quite a lot lately. Therefore, I've not communicted with you in a few weeks. What I have learned is that people pretty much the same everywhere. They want to be able to provide for their families, raise their children, support their love ones and friends. And on occasion, they want to celebrate life.

Most people don't want very much in the way material possesions or riches; just to be above food, shelter, and clothing. Most have no interest in control, domination , or power. Why doesn't this consciousness dominate the the planet?

I have discovered that if I live consistent with my passion I feel satisfied with my earth-plane existence. Even if I have not made a differnece. It's more important to me to be a differnce. For example, I had dinner with a colleague who does seminars with thousands of people a year all over the world. We began discussing the impact of her work and she tearfully shared that there was an emptiness in her work. I asked her what were her expectations. She responded that she wanted her participants to face up to their difficulties and transform.

I reminded her that their transformation was not in her control. That such an objective was her own ego-satisfaction; and had little to do with her clients or their well-being. That the drive to make a difference often lead us to attempt to control the fate of others rather than assuming the the "universe" will lead to the best resolution.

So what I have been reaffirmed of is that life finds its own "fault line" if we just let go and help others find their own path and self-created fate. There can be no better way of making a difference by being a difference.

Ciao,
