I saw this
at the Joostenberg farm stall/shop/grocer and nursery.
I think it
is a brilliant idea.
When you top screaming and shouting for long enough, you start hearing
the inner voices.
This “be in the moment”
thing gives you serious power over emotion, you stop before you act and you
have time to decide how to react. Let the ego go, just say no! Return to a space
of love, recognize that it is your emotion/ego that is the problem; not the
person or the situation. It is simply
your perception.
When you do not react in
fear (past) or anxiety (future) but stay in the now (come back), you overcome
the ego, that greedy and conditioned monster inside us all. You let the IT
decide (Inner terrestrial).
Take a deep breath and be
aware of what is around you, that is the trick, well my trick in any case.
Look, really look at the flowers on the table, the dog at the door. You can
train yourself to do this; it becomes a habit, like everything else. I just realized that I am heavily borrowing
from Eckhart Tolle, but there are just so many ways you can put a thing and he
manages to translate ancient wisdom to the masses so he is also borrowing.
I am also well aware that this is all much easier in
theory than in practice.
Now the universe has decided that I need to get this
right and I need to get this right fast. I am dealing with such a mean and
seemingly hart-less individual. To hate him and get angry is just so easy! I
understand why I had to come all the way back to Stellenbosch. This was
definitely unfinished business. I have definitely grown tremendously on a
spiritual level.
Here is another interesting thing. I obviously need to
create income. Normally my first thought would normally be to find a job. This
time my first thought was what can I make and sell and how can I use my skills
to create income? I broke a pattern there.
Also
at Joostenberg. I will tell more about Joostenberg in the next article.
I am an intelligent person, but I do find it impossible
to sit down and study, it kills me! Therefore I have never really studies for a
skill that can create a decent income. I have lots of diverse skills; I know
that, it is time to use these skills to my own advantage. I would so love to go
back to Hoedspruit, but that is a whole other story, more of a longer term
plan, I love that African bush, tropical fruit, wild life and stunning hot
weather. Before I can go back, I need to earn some cash.
