I don't know where to begin anymore and there's no lack of topics to begin with, however there is a lack of will to put anymore thoughts down in writing; call it laziness or call it giving up what has become short of an addiction. I have made the promise to write and write I will this Saturday morning while it is raining outside my window of the twelve story building. I have almost finished my oatmeal with banana breakfast, fed the cat with her "Temptations" cat treat, the only most expensive food in the cat market that she will eat other than the 'Tuna in Water' can another expensive food for humans that she favors: Furby has been with us for almost 6-7 years now; She is the Soul of the home.
The past week has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for my psycho/spiritual mind, whatever that entails, it has been mostly due to my own lack of clarity and weak mindedness in dealing with simple matters in life especially when it comes to money! It seems like one never learn even after seventy odd years of dealing with having and not having cash in you wallet, it is still a haunting ignorant experience that causes unnecessary agitation within and without. Whatever happen to the years of loading the mind with altruisms on how to manage one's life like positivity and looking away from wanting and lacking? It is all for nothing or so it seems, like one has never been poor like down in the gutter poor, or one has never knew what it felt like living the Life of Riley, higher than a Hog! Such Is as the Buddha used to mutter to Himself as He walked into the forest from one village to another witnessing human frailties; the cause of suffering. It is commonly discussed among the Muslim Ulama' that the Historical Buddha was Al Khidr or the Muslim version of the Awakened One yet not quite a Prophet who like the Buddha left his home and family to find out the Truth. Perhaps and I would not be at al surprised as I love both these characters as my spiritual guides in my studies in the past. One can always Google who AlKhidr is or was in Islam.
It is still pouring out there and its good!
The Planet is going through a turmoil in the form of climatic and human imbalances which is gradually escalating into a full blown catastrophe and there seems to be no end to it. It seems it would take a miracle if not direct Devine Intervention in order to make peace and stability to prevail as inhuman hubris has created for us a mess of a situation that is leading us towards our own demise and not to mention the Planet itself when push comes to shove as it already is in the process of materializing. Indeed it seems we are living out our Collective Devine prophecies which spells out the final stage of our human existence and the question in everyone's mind is, am I living the end of Time. Personally I know I am living the end of my time which at 75 is about, 'that time.' But for my children and theirs? I pray that it is in their wisdom not to dwell upon it too much and 'make hay while the sun is still shining!'
...and nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever would. Such is, if one can drop off all this petty trivia of life and adopt to the simplicity in living this is the beginning of the end of suffering; where there's no 'I', there is none who suffers. This is Sunyata, this is the principle essence of the teachings of the Buddha; Emptiness.
