Default If God Needs You, He Heals You.

When Life appears to have little Purpose, we spirits come and go at Will;

but when the Creation cries out in agony and need, who can discount it?

Whatever our complaints WERE, they are but silliness in the sight of Hopelessness.

No problem ever gets solved by wishing, hoping or wanting. It takes Truth.

No excuses allowed, our human family calls to us in their need for leadership.

Somebody must remember Justice, when that worked in view.

Somebody must remember what it's like to "take your turn."

Somebody has to grasp what is true by the toe-hold, and get it straight away.

Pontifications and ideations, ideologies and dogma no longer can hold sway.

Our lives depend on getting things straight and true, what happened, why.

And what there is to do about it, now.

Good reckoning, All of You. And stay clear of Ideology.

They all hold great gaps in Truth.

Correct situation (of the heart) creates correct action. Correct action creates correct relationship. Correct relationship creates correct situation. Correct situation is vast mind, everyday mind, just-like-this mind. Mind begins at little 'I'. With correct condition moves to karma 'I', then to Empty 'I', then to freedom 'I', then to big 'I', which is vast mind, everyday mind, just-like-this mind. With just-like-this mind, the mind opens it's mouth and no words come out. Roar like a tiger while sitting. Begin again, and again, and again until the mind opens it's mouth and nothing comes out. Then you will begin to understand. Easy to say. Hard to do.

It is a state of mind without holding or checking. In the Theravedic tradition they call it conscious witnessing. To witness without adding or taking anything away. It is easy to say and hard to do. All the best.
