Soms is het thema waarover Jeff in dit artikel spreekt onderwerp van gesprek in een van onze communicatiecafé's of andere dialogen die we hier in Noord-Thailand met gasten hebben. Vanuit de reactie van gasten op dat thema is dit artikel te mooi om niet te delen. Je moet er misschien even de tijd voor nemen om het diep te laten binnen komen en je primaire reacties even onderdrukken. Scherper en mooier dan Jeff kan ik het niet zeggen.
Your life cannot go wrong
In reality, your world is set
up so that nothing happens to you, but everything happens for you - for your
awakening, for your growth, for your inspiration, for your exploration - even
if you forget that, or sometimes cannot see it, or sometimes fall into
distraction and despair.
When there is no fixed destination, you cannot ever lose your destination, so you cannot ever lose your path, so nothing that happens in your life can take you off your path. Your path IS what happens, and what happens IS your path. There is no other.
Everything is a gift on this unbreakable path that you call your life - the laughter, the tears, the times of great sorrow, the experiences of profound loss, the pain, the confusion, the times you believe you'll never make it, even the overwhelming heartbreak of love - even if you forget that sometimes, or cannot see that sometimes, or lose faith absolutely in the entire show sometimes.
But even the loss of faith in the show is part of the show, and even the scene where 'something goes wrong' is not indicative of the show going wrong, and so you are always exactly where you need to be, believe it or not, even if you are not.
Life can be trusted absolutely, even when trust seems a million light-years away, and life cannot go wrong, for all is life, and life is all. Understand this, know it in your heart, and spirituality is profoundly simple, as simple as breathing, as natural as gazing up at the stars at night and falling into silent wonder. The universe is more beautiful than you could ever imagine.
