So I woke up this morning feeling okay. I started my morning readings which were good as usual. I was continuing the pondering of meditation, and what is really meant by that. So I was just relaxing in bed and trying to be very PRESENT, which is all that meditation really is. Then I decided to pick up The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz and finish it off.
What a great little book! I intend to read it over and over again because its teachings are just so freeing. Basically, the book ended with prayers to the Creator of the Universe, prayers for freedom and love. It ended with a visualization of meeting a man by the river with light pouring out his head. This man was just filled with love and was explaining how he got that way, that his teacher opened his heart and pulled out a flame. He gave this flame to the man, put it in his heart and he was overflowing with love. He just would pour this love out into the trees, flowers, birds, and other human beings. I can’t do the illustration justice so you will just have to read the book to feel this for yourself.
After finishing this book today, I just felt so free and full of love. What does it matter if tomorrow I don’t wake up so enlightened? What if this love fades? Of course this is what my scared and negative self asks.
However, the positive self is growing stronger everyday. So it was saying what this book and so many others teach, that life is not promised to us tomorrow. We need to love today. We need to tell people that and not be afraid of judgment and their opinions. Love is powerful, love is GOD. Love is present and every wonderful thing you can think of. Why not love today? Why not share it? Do it today, show it, and share it. Just LOVE and be what you are today, regardless of any negative thing. Just be present in meditation, thankful for all that you have in THIS moment. Say THANK YOU and just LOVE.
