A lot of people complain that they don't feel peace or joy or love or
freedom, or are confused, fearful, hopeless, lost or simply don't
know why they are alive or what;s it all about.
Most of
them seem to think they will find answers in friendship or family,
fame or fortune, achievements or possessions; many blame others, the
government, their bosses, their families or friends and many blame
themselves.
There are those that believe in one "God"
or another, or no god at all - they have their own beliefs and
disbeliefs, or philosophy, or teachers that they think will lead them
to an answer, even if as yet they have not.
There are
those that have hope and those that have no hope. There are the rich
and the poor, the educated and not so educated, the young and the
old, the servants and the masters, the healthy and the sick.
One
thing we all eventually know - one day we will leave all that behind
- and many of us think that THEN we will know.
In the
meantime, we are alive.
So we can think if life in this
world as a huge supermarket that we are allowed into for a while -
let's say 24 hours.
Let;s say we have won a ticket to use
whatever we want in that shop for one day, for free - maybe some
items are restricted to some people, maybe not. But there is a lot to
choose from and to enjoy, alone or with others.
Thing is
we know that we will have to leave empty handed - so what is the
point?
My friend said there is no point. I said so what
about holidays, food, music, company, sport etc - it will all end.
"Precisely", he said, "what's the point".
Well
all I could say is what is the point of not trying to enjoy "it"
whilst we can?"
We all came through one door and we
will all be going through another door - alone. In between those
doors is life.
So in that life we should at least have a
choice to try to enjoy that life for what it is, an opportunity to
feel peace, love, freedom, clarity, understanding, appreciation or a
choice not to
So for those that want those things, how can
we gains PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE that does not demand one set of beliefs
or a regionalise over another - and that does not cost what we cannot
afford.
I am so glad that my teacher Prem Rawat showed me
how (over 50 years ago now) and that he is still about, travelling
the world, speaking to people, making videos, just telling them about
the opportunity that he offers. He has set up a series of short
videos, called PEAK (available through the TimelessToday app on your
phone), free of charge, that people can work through at their own
rate.
The OPPORTUNITY is there - the next step in up to
you because IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU!
