Hey guys!
I decided some time ago that during some periods when I cook a lot of food (and then put it in a freezer for periods when there is no time for cooking) that instead of radio or music I would listen to your podcast. I did this couple of days ago and listened to this show. What a joy it was! Not only did I get an opportunity to hear your beautiful voices, I also got a chance to listen to your bright ideas and thoughts. Thank you so much!
In this episode what applied to my personal experience most was Jim telling about how some meditations are good and some are less so. So you sort of expect, after the one which was awesome, that other meditations which follow it will be equally awesome, but what a surprise it is when that doesn't happen! And I would also like to take it further to apply to everyday life experiences as well. There are times when you are in tune with the universe and everything plays out harmoniously, but then something happens and it all gets blurry again. The same can also be said about the spiritual seeking. When I got back home after HC everything was clear to me and I was focused. But the second I got back home, one thing happened after another, after yet another, and there was no way that I could keep focusing on my own spiritual seeking, meditating as much as I planned to etc., because there were things that had to be done, people that needed help etc. And it's easy to go back to old habits too when it's so crazy around you, and just feel hopelessness in the situation. I laughed couple of times though during this crazy period, thinking "meditation my ***! I don't have the time to even eat lunch or get enough sleep!" True that. There has been many days now when I ate breakfast with my daughter in the morning but then didn't have the time to eat until evening, when having dinner with her. But *it is all well*. We all survived this crazy period. It all turned out ok! And now I would even say that this period even strengthened my will to further seek the Creator. There are periods of time, like the one that I had, when life is crazy, but what can you do about? Stop helping people because you need to meditate? No. So during this time there were moments when I felt that I was failing my path of seeking. But I was not. And at the end, it even turned out to better I might say. And I realized that when listening to this show, and especially when hearing those words of Jim. That as meditations are such that some of them are awesome and some less so, so is even the spiritual seeking and everyday life experiences. They go up and they go down. The only thing that matters is to continue seeking in every way that you can. And if it's in the way of immediate service to others, than it can wait. Because some people can't. We are not failing, but on contrary, doing all that we can.
Anyways, thank you so much, guys! And keep up the good work! Can't wait till the next period I have this time for cooking so I can listen to your next show. =)
Lots of love,
L.
