Allowing Space....

If we can allow some space within our awareness and rest there, we can respect our troubling thoughts and emotions, allow them to come, and let them go. Our lives may be complicated on the outside, but we remain simple, easy, and open on the inside.  - Tsoknyi Rinpoche, "Allow for Space"

Racing around through life seems to be getting us somewhere, but exactly where might be the question. Our modern lives seem to be increasingly complicated by instant communication, a myriad of family and social responsibilities, and even the “demands” of our spiritual praxis and journey. “Waking up” and remaining open to Spirit’s leading is not easy work.  Jeshua repeatedly called us to “wake up”, “listen” and “see” from the “inside-out” not the “outside-in”.  The Buddha taught much the same.  Once we learn to quiet our inner selves by embracing the things that trouble us, the outer world becomes calmer and more serene.   The dualism which we thought was reality dissipates and our awareness can now embrace a different way of becoming and being.
