All animals except man know
that the ultimate of LIFE
is to ENJOY it.
--Samuel Butler
If we take time to watch animals,
we see that they have a zest for LIFE
that seems to engage them totally in
whatever they are doing.
A cat chasing its tail,
a dog going after a ball,
a horse running along the shore,
a dolphin leaping and diving,
All are actions that reveal energy
and delight in simply being ALIVE.
Animals do not appear to
take themselves to seriously.....
LIFE, we say, is to be ENJOYED,
but how many of us manage to
put this theory into practice?
We often associate pleasure with guilt
or with acting out
or with hurting or being hurt,
and so we stand back from the
full enjoyment of our power
to be really ALIVE.
Letting go of our
shame and feelings of
unworthiness
will help us to
let go and LIVE.
 If we can tap into the spontaneity that runs
through the animal kingdom,
we will rediscover
the sheer JOY of being ALIVE.
 I'll try to take time to watch animals at PLAY
and learn from their
LOVE and ENJOYMENT.

MEDITATION
Enlightenment
Meditation is preparation for the continuous steady state of enlightenment, a process where one is adjusting to shift the consciousness onto a higher level. Doing this requires con- centration and undivided attention. Still, we cannot progress by physical "force" or pure power of will. We have to reach a higher (or finer) state where we are capable of oscillating the energy state that enables the free energy flow without any resistance or interference (i.e., lower consciousness or ego).
We have to become the flow itself in order to oscillate it. Opening the higher frequencies requires everything the prac- titioner has, but still it is not a process of becoming. It cannot be achieved, it can only be realized. In other words, we have to reach the state where the energy flow is self-sustaining and harmonious. By will power alone we cannot sustain it. Also premature stimulation of the energy centers is pointless, if not counterproductive.
At the urge of enlightenment we have to work hard to find the right final tone missing. We have to reach for it and be capable of sustaining it in order to open up the final barrier or resonator. The consciousness shifts smoothly and under con- trol to its natural state (or a physical place where we are able to sense it) where it is out of the way (or in harmony) with the energy flow.
The process is incremental and can take days. The practi- tioner gets to know the new states and understands their operations. This makes it easier and more familiar along the way. The understanding and comprehension accumulates as well. It is a very natural and harmonious but nevertheless demanding process.
Tips for a serious/advanced practitioner in the journey:
* You are not expected to do anything, only realize.
* You cannot force it; it happens when you are totally relaxed and in harmony.
* You must free your body of tension and the urge to achieve.
* You should understand this is a quest of consciousness, not of the body or will power.
* You must realize that until you are love and loving kindness in harmony, you are not there.
* You must follow your instincts and be persistent.
* You should understand it is not a competition or about achievement.
* You should not exhaust yourself; nevertheless, the process is demanding.
* You should be gentle and forgiving; unconditional love is all it takes.
* You know, you can, so you are.
Advice for beginners:
* You need firm concentration; once this is sustained, the practitioner is capable of maintaining that concentra- tion even while physically doing something.
* You should understand that meditation only helps you; it is a technique—nothing more.
* You can never be too humble, kind, and loving—these are the real exercise.
* You can progress only through continuous and relent- less effort.
* You have to be the harmony and love at all times—so you do not need any particular place or situation to practice it.
* You should realize that frequent meditation sessions are most important, but the real test is your everyday life.
* You need to understand that enlightenment should not be your goal—if it is, consider your motives once again.
