(What are the ways in which Core Wisdom profoundly shapes our lives when we embrace and live from its principles? How does the shift from understanding Core Wisdom to BEING it show up in the practicalities of daily living? For each person, the form in which that gift is received and expressed is unique. I received the following email last month from "D", a long-time student and practitioner of Core Wisdom. Titled, "Feeling Blessed," it was written in response to an article in last month's CWOL ezine. I share this message with you, as It captures what is at the heart of living an awakened life that is guided by our true infinite nature. In-Joy)
Hal,
I read with interest your latest communication. The following paragraph resonated with me particularly:
"However, the real test of the value of any transformational program in a person's life is not what happens during the program, as wonderful as that may be, but whether the person in the program chooses to live and breathe it day after day. When that integration occurs, it becomes real that each of us is blessed with the ability to dissolve all the limitations, burdens, suffering, and patterns of past conditioning that we have inherited or developed in the past. It becomes real that creating, manifesting, and dissolving are the natural dynamics of a free, awakened human being."
I hadn't given any thought to the fact that I have integrated so much of what I have learned from you into my life. When I read the paragraph above I smiled with this knowledge.
For me, the awareness of "I AM" has been running effortlessly and quietly in the background for quite some time now. Once my unconscious beliefs about "how life is" and "how life is supposed to be" were peeled back (and brought to the light of day) they dissolved. That is not to say that I am free of the "human condition" so much as to say that I no longer believe or linger on the messages as they appear. I am FREE! I choose my reactions, choose suffering (rarely but sometimes), choose hurt, sadness, joy, forgiveness, peace, whatever I'd like to experience is there for me to create. Anytime, anyplace.
Right now, as I write this, I am feeling blessed. Blessed for my life..... Thank you.
Love, light and peace to you and yours,
-- Hal Isen
