Food for thought as we move through the birth canal

"Aloneness simply means completeness. You are whole; there is no need of anybody else to complete you. So try to find out your innermost center where you are always alone, have always been alone. In life, in death - wherever you are - you will be alone. But it is so full! It is not empty; it is so full and so complete and so overflowing with all the juices of life, with all the beauties and benedictions of existence, that once you have tasted your aloneness, the pain in the heart will disappear. Instead, a new rhythm of tremendous sweetness, peace, joy, bliss, will be there." OSHO

Attachments to others keep us separate from ourselves, our GodSelf. It is in diving into our deepest, darkest self that we go beyond the pain to discover the sweet juiciness of being a divine being inhabiting a body.

Any attachment to having another's life be something different than they are experiencing it, even if we just include them in our daily prayers, holds us back as well as them. We can but light our own light and free them to find their own experience of wholeness and divinity. We can point them to their next step, though not hold their hand, as they search for the narrow path/gate to their own Paradise.

Love & Compassion,
Jeremiah
