Fine Tuning

"In your silence, when there are no words, no language,

nobody else is present, you are getting in tune with existence."

Osho

The guitarist stopped to fine tune his guitar, repeatedly. His ear was finely attuned and the slightest inaccuracy of sound was immediately detected. Perhaps no one else could hear the difference, but the musician had expectations for his music to be authentic and articulate. Focus and patience were paramount.

To reach self-inspired goals, we must consistently refine our measures. We must create space  to quietly listen to our soul, our source for creativity, and the individual small voice within. Staying steady with our goals, we must also be prepared to bend our plans in order to welcome greater sources of manifestation.

When passionate about our life purpose, change is ever present.  If alert, we can easily decipher between what is aligned and supportive or ego driven and wasteful. When we routinely sit in silence, the Divine can offer messages of wisdom. In an ever changing world, we must hold our compass close to our hearts prepared to fine tune..

Discard Discrepancies

"From the very beginning you have been told how you should be;  

Nobody has ever told you that you are as good as you are."

OSHO

In the beginning, we are told that thinking of our selves is selfish.  Expressing any kind of needs is unacceptable, as we should be thankful for what we have.  Our identity becomes based on opinions and actions of others and they are often not truth based.  

As we become a little older, we begin to recognize the discrepancies between what is preached to us and the reality we experience. First the misalignment between adults and the self, followed by an imbalance between relationships and neighborhoods.

After numerous detours, we begin to trust our lovely selves and listen attentively to our intuition, dreams, and desires.  We endeavor to unpack and discard what we no longer wish to own creating a healing light to discover what is authentically our own.

 

Intention in Difference

"Can you remember 

who you were

before the world

told you

who you should be?"

OSHO

The leaves falling from the autumn tree are all different in color, age, and shape, just like we are as human beings. Mother Nature's message is vibrantly clear, "There is intention in difference."  We have abilities not meant to be in competition.  The challenge is to create the best of who we can be with our individual gifts and talents.

An oak leaf does not endeavor to morph into a maple leaf, and we waste our energy when we try to be something we are not meant to be.  In order to grow in beauty, we seek within ourselves for strengths and weaknesses.  We are best equipped when we can balance our abilities as one solid force.  

When we walk in nature throughout autumn, we are overwhelmed by the beauty as our eyes automatically embrace varying colors.  We have a growing appreciation for the diversity amongst the trees and feel ourselves enhanced by the blending of hues.  

So it is with human beings.  We are not meant to be the same. Artificial layering needs to be discarded.  Borrowed labels and behaviors need to be cast off so we are free to design our very own style.  The expectation is to be unique.  When we utilize the tools we already have, we unfold in a natural way.  We create an original work of art that will blend with others, not in competition nor duplication.  We create a forest of beautiful autumn colors, collectively admired.
