As Anadi and I walked the streets of London on Saturday, I felt more acutely aware than ever the truth of presence – of being where we are. Of acceptance that all that is, in this moment could be no other way; and that we make a difference in the world by our own presence.
We saw a helicopter overhead and surmised that there was protesting happening in London Town.
We decided to investigate and along the way saw many police officers – we asked what was happening…. We were informed that it was ‘The kill the bill’ protest… We walked miles but didn’t find the protesters…
I was aware, as we walked the streets together watching the world all around us, that freedom comes from within… If there is alignment within then all our actions make a difference… Whether we are on a path of protesting for something or sitting having a coffee.
External change comes from within and following that energy wherever it takes us
Following our own truth whatever that may be…
And knowing deep inside that Presence, is all there is.
In every moment there is limitless possibility – in every moment we can create
We do create.
Our lives, unfolding with every breath.
If we are aware our our breath and we are able to feel the energy, the life force within us and all around us.
We can know deeply that we are that energy.
The energy that is creating always; it has created universes and is ever expanding…
As are we.
To return to the present moment, all we need do is take one conscious breath in, and breathe out anything we are holding onto – and then fully experience the space at the bottom of the breath before we breathe in once again.
In that space is the all pervading truth.
If we stay with this space then we are able to live beyond the duality of the mind
Which can dart hither and thither.
Instead we can direct the flow of this energy, and focus on what we want to think; rather than our thoughts thinking us…
It is this simple.
But as complex as the human mind with its diversity and madness when left unchecked.
And so with every step we take
With every breath we breathe
We can be still and know who we are.
The wars of the world of duality have always been here; trauma, drama, pain, anguish, division…
This is the normal state of madness of the mind.
The truth of who we are is silent
The witnesser to it all.
For a change in society – we must change within, because the irony Is that if we are trying to change the world, we have set off in the wrong direction
To change the world it is required that we are silent within
Totally present
Presence itself
In each step
And then our path is revealed from this place…
We know when to speak or not to speak – to make a stand or not.
Our path is clear from the inside out.
When consciousness flows through us we light the world
When we are a light unto ourselves then each step is clear
Each step is light…
Whether we are shod or not!
