Enjoy it while you can

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!
