Some people are shopping in organic supermarkets. Some in health-food stores. Some in farmers’ markets.
I shop at the divine qualities supermarket. I’m rapidly falling in love with them.
Never mind a dash of cinnamon on my ice cream. I’d like a wisp of bliss with….
Somehow I never get by the “with….”
I’ve become enthralled with exploring the divine qualities. This is a reformed troll under the bridge speaking. Until recently, I had no use for any of these, except if you got way deep down, under my defenses, and I confessed to really caring.
But open enjoyment of the divine qualities? That would ruin my grumpy old f@rt image.
But now, given you sheltering me from the compromises of the modern office, amid which my writing would not survive, I can explore the divine qualities and help find paths.
I know this – the divine qualities – is it. This is paydirt, Shangri-La, the Promised Land.
We’re not migrants to this land. We’re original inhabitants.
The divine qualities are a way of talking about our original nature. We ARE originally innocent, pure, peaceful, joyful, blissful, compassionate, and all the other virtues. They describe how our deepest Being, our Soul, relates to ourselves and our environment.
But the divine qualities are not a place to get to. They’re a place to come from, which is muffled by the overburden of vasanas or core issues we carry around with us.
We already have peace, joy, and love. Now we need to enter into interaction, from them. That will be a great leap for some. It is for me.
Best to take baby steps, whatever that looks like for you. To spur you on, however, I’m here to say you can be a troll under the bridge and still end up experiencing the divine states. And it takes work.
Every minute of every day, I have to choose love rather than being right, winning, or putting someone down. Every time I do, I hale it as a victory, given where I want to go and what I need to prepare for.
The first ten years of this blog for me were about clearing vasanas. The next ten years will be about reconnecting with our original divine qualities and nurturing them.
