Everything depends on the quality of being; even doing. Do your doing from a wonderful place of being and quite different results unfold, for everything is energy. And the evergy of everything you create reflects your own energy at the moment of creation.
You can create and recreate and recreate for you are creating and recreating in every moment. You cannot not do this. It just goes on and on, one in one. There's really no way out of this process. You are a creator. You can not not be a creator. So you might as well get in the swing.
You can get it that you are not that which you create. Nor are you that which is around you, though in some sense you are energetically connected.
Yet you can break that energetic connection in the present moment. Simply by choosing not to go there. Just let it be, and as you let it be you are free. And now you can choose something different.

A Worldly Orchestra Plays
However wonderful it gets to be developing inner awareness, there is also that wonderful world out there, awaiting the opportunity to combine with your own energy and produce amazing results. Can we not be amazed even simply by existence? And then we add a drop or two of intent and the orchestra plays, day after day, on and on.
How would you have it otherwise? That is the question to continually ask, and then, that's it, that's where you go, following the intent out into the world. If this isn't a mystery, I don't know what is. And yet it can be, to some extent, understood, or if not understood, it can be felt, the rythm that underpins and courses through everything, right through the core of your being. Really altogether a bit magical. And all you have to do is ... show up.

Perpetually being
You are in the middle of life because you are life. And you are creating life. There is nothing in you that is not life. And life is. Always. In fact you are life observing life; the subject and the object. Consciousness and creation, consciously and unconsciously recreating, with every thought, in every moment, perpetually being.
You are forever doing, for example breathing, and you are always having, for example awareness, yet underneath the twin aspects of life is simply being. Can you go there?

A little light leading
What is it that a leader has? A deep connection with the self, others and the environment. They are aligned, as though they are virtually one.
A deep connection with the present moment, the fields of possibilities, and the navigation through the rapids; here, there and getting there. These also combine as one flow. A knowing that all of these things are transitory so new realities can always be created, a willingness to step into them, and a sense of purpose, which evoke a response in others.
An inclination to listen, reflect and act; sensing, being and doing, in something like that order.
And when you get it, that this is all flow, that there is nothing which cannot be created, that everything is, actually blessed, there are no limits to that which you can be, save yourself.

It's life, but not as we know it
Yesterday's beautiful funeral makes the transitory nature of this life a little more plain. It was profoundly moving, and I may miss my dear friend George greatly, but right now, there's no sense of loss. Instead, there's a sense of his presence. It's as if he's everywhere.
The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying takes a Buddhist view that departed souls hear our thoughts of them for 49 days, which may feel a little over-precise; but what do I know. So you can assume they don't hear your thoughts or assume that they do, and the latter may feel more prudent. Even if you don't sense anything, you don't know that they won't hear you.
Many won't allow the possibility of communing with those who have passed, and have not done so. The great thing is we don't have to guess. Experience is the best teacher.
Why be afraid? There is only love. Life is here to be known, in all its fullness.

A little light fantastic
It turns out that there is a source of consolation and even joy that is available 24/7, and it's free. Access is mainly a matter of turning inward, upward, and of getting oneself out of the way, that's the sometimes tricky bit. Yet the prize exceeds every other prize.
Surely there must be more to it than that? There is a gradual process of what we might call softening, that enables the obstacles to be cleared and the light to peep in; so you have to walk a bit. And once that happens, well it's all a bit shiny.
There remains the possibility of sadness, and occasional more heart-felt loss, but even that is somewhat sublime. And so we tiptoe into the light, or more precisely the light tiptoes into us.
