HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

"Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts, 

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, 
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, 
but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children 
as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, 
and He bends you with His might 
that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let our bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, 
so He loves also the bow that is stable. "

~ Kahlil Gibran

"Gurdjieff taught that man must create/develop a soul through the course of his life by following a teaching which can lead to this aim, or he will "die like a dog".

Stop chasing that tail!
Get real about your study,
Awaken to your true reality
Be  Still
Be Peace
BE

Psst!

About Resistance on Waking I

Question:  http://ajourneymanswayhome.blogspot.com/2010/06/resistence.html

Comment:
 "So, who (which part or "i") wakes up prior to the part of you that appreciates Qi Gong? "It likes, it doesn't like." Eh? So, which "i" wakes up, unaware that another part of you likes Qi Gong and appreciates how it helps the total Being?"

"I wonder who is awake first when I become aware of my own being as I wake from deep sleep and the rest of me begins to catch up. Who is it that resists and does not want to proceed into the next moments? Just then, in those first moments of becoming aware of self awakening, there is a small space in time to watch those first "i's" gather and and to hear their individual songs (stories). I have the opportunity to objectively observe them "waking" up in their sleep, already talking, complaining, etc. ..."

We can apply this question at any moment we begin to awaken a bit from sleep or daydreams, etc. We can be curious about what is really going on in those moments. That kind of curiosity, that of the 'watcher' or 'observer' - allows me to silently, without the 'head brain', gather more information about those little devils, those illusive little "i's".

Be Observing
Be Peace
