Be Here Now
We reincarnationists often spend time reflecting on who we once were or who we shall be in the future, but a more befuddling question may be: who are we right Now?
“Loving-kindness (maitri) toward ourselves doesn’t mean getting
rid of anything. Maitri means that we can still be crazy, we can still
be angry. We can still be timid or jealous or full of feelings of
unworthiness. practice isn’t about trying to throw
ourselves away or become something better. It’s about befriending who
we are already.”
– Pema Chodron, *Comfortable with Uncertainty*

I BELEIVE IN ONE WHO HAVE FAITH IN THEMSELVES IN ‘BEING’ AT PRESNT &
THEN
CHERISH ‘N MARVEL AT LIFE THEY ARE LIVING WHATEVER LIFE HAS REVEALED TO
WITH WEBS OF HIGH & LOW. . .NOT BANE THEM FROM BEING CREATIVE PROMOTING
THIS TRUTH . . . ‘REINCARNATIONISTS’ IS INDEED THE RIGHT WORD.
I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH THE GROUP & THE RESOURCES . . . WORLD SO
FULL OF ‘MAITRI’ IS SO FLOURISHING TO BE & MAKE IT BLOOM FRAGNANCE
INTO FRUITION TO REMAIN AS SOLEMNLY ALWAYS IN ‘HAPPENING’…NEW . . .
GIVE IN WRITING MY PART . . .OF THE STORY IN WORD AS POSSIBLY I GAIN AS
BEING SUCH ‘A BELEIVER’ !

Cool. I would rather just accept who I am than try to change into somebody I’m not. Isn’t that the problem with humanity? We’re all so determined to change into whatever the media pimps to us as being the ultimate goal…or what our peers say is cool…instead of just being…who we really are.
