SEASON'S GREETINGS TO THE ENDLESS SEASONS....

Human race, probably, has been the only creation that created occasions to celebrate. Probably, the so called development of the mind somewhere lost the innate nature, celebration.

Watch the flock of birds flying and it resonates the feel of celebration even though they are just flying to some other destination. They don't need an occasion to celebrate . They are simply living in their original nature and that is celebration.

It is okay, we have created occasions to catch up with the essence. But then, are we truly living in celebration? have we made use of the occasion to revive the essence of celebration and allow it to remain as an integral part of our nature? If so, then , where is the need to long for yet another occasion?

Pondering on these thoughts, the beauty of celebration and being alive to every moment gets enhanced. Even during an occasion, many people get lost to the past and keep recounting and comparing with the previous incidents. It can truly take away this moment of the glory. Remembering the celebration with the lost ones or some incident is okay but the trouble begins when one gets trapped in trying to relive with the lost one or that incident. Present moment of celebration is also lost and the end result is misery.

When we mark a time and date to an occasion, surely there will be a time to end it too. Occasions can have them but not celebration. It is an endless season... has no beginning and no end.

let us revive the essence of this wonder of celebration in this season and let it be alive forever.....

Merging Point welcome back!
Happy Holidays too.

You wrote: 'They don't need an occasion to celebrate . They are simply living in their original nature and that is celebration.' - this is so true.

MP as I matured, things definitely changed, and now with Matthew on board, every day or I can say every second is a celebration for me.

Excellent post.

Merging Point, I haven't seen you in awhile, and I'm thrilled to have had your visit, today!

Your post makes a very important point. IF we have lost the joy of living by giving it over to material pursuits, or re-living our disappointments, or by loss of trust in life, then the idea of "celebration" means little.

And of course, we need not only to find our inner joy of living, but the activities and attitudes that foster that joy. Or else our celebrations will be empty experiences of just going through the motions!

Thanks for the interesting post!

Hope all is well with you, and you are enjoying and finding joy in your life.

Every moment is a milestone. As people realize and cherish where they are, they rediscover miracles unfolding in every instant. Life is not about waiting for what may happen. It is about reminding yourself what already is. Many people had forgotten. It is never too late to teach yourself remember what counts.

~ "Adapt Tune" ~

An insight into a dance competition show. Unlike the regular performance where a participant proves his dancing skills to a song selected and well trained for it, here he is expected to dance to the unexpected tunes. The DJ on the set is the creator of the tunes for that moment. The participant on the floor is evaluated as to how well his performance is tuned in to the unexpected rhythms. "Expect the unexpected" and tune in to be your own self. Thats when the best of performance is unfolded. You dont perform but you just tune in to the rhythms. There is a subtle and yet a vital difference that distinguishes you from the rest. The sense organ, ear, lets the listening happen. The mind accepts the tune and the body adapts to the tune and thats what is called the dance. Firstly, one needs to be well equipped with the skills and thats what is called confidence. Without a proper knowledge and practice of the skill, one would only turn out to be a laughing stock on the floor. Once t...

~ Intellect~

Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade. It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument. Left without a wooden case to hold, the blade still remains a sharpened tool but dangerous even to the user. Try holding a sharpened blade and make use of it. May be, your hands would bleed first even before making use of it. When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

~ Levels of Awareness ~

Beware of Ignorance Be Aware of Self! That which begins as a practice Becomes a part of the whole Nothing new that never existed is going to be introduced for practicing. Yet, there comes a moment when each of us are introduced to discover our own self through various means. Body exists from the time of birth, yet the real feel of that first moment is experiential. Same with breath too. Breathing has been happening but when we enter into its realm with that touch of awareness then on the Real living begins. Ignorance in a way acts as the backdrop for awareness. In life, when we begin to learn some art or anything, we tend to have a total focus on the job. Like when we first begin to cut vegetables, the eyes, the hands and the mind are in total focus. Its the practice which eventually leads to evolution. Perfection sounds more like a finite one. But with subtleness, it just expands to nowhere. The taste of the self which begins as a practice eventually grows to expand in awareness. Focu...
