[vipassana]

Having experienced considerable confusion regarding 2012 I try to live in the day and the moment without expectations. While I still find it extremely interesting to read and think about possible futures and 2012 for me it's too far ahead. I do beleive that the future may be very rocky so I just try to make practical preparations as my journey continues.

As a recovered alcoholic and member of Alcoholics Anonymous the following profound words...The Serenity Prayer have been useful and inspiring throughout my journey:-

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can’t change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference"

In addition I'm very drawn to Buddhist Philosophy and aspire to be caring towards all beings and the Universe. The Noble Eightfold Path helps with this:-

Right view, right thought,
right speech, right conduct,
right vocation, right effort,
right attention, right concentration.

I do feel that my experiences have been mapped out and although some of them caused me pain and difficulty everythings made me what I am today and I'm grateful for that. Who knows what else I'll experience?

Is there going to be a pole shift, ascension, nuclear war, famine, alien disclosure etc. My answer to that is...I DON'T KNOW....but I'm OK with that I accept it.

Just my personal experience and how I deal with life.
Kind Regards
Helen
