Man Makes Plans, and God Laughs

Man Makes Plans, and God Laughs The giant chestnut tree that Anne Frank wrote about in her diary, while hiding from the Nazis during World War II, crashed to the ground this week. While Frank and her family were hidden for more than two years, viewing the tree from the attic was her only respite from the cramped quarters. Instead of cutting-down the fungal-infected, 150-year-old tree for safety reasons in 2007, officials built a steel support that was intended to keep the tree standing for up to fifteen years. However three years later a powerful storm took the tree down. “Man makes plans, and God laughs.”—Yiddish proverb This proves that while we busily make plans, the Universe, God, Source, Reality, …

The Joy of Being

The Joy of Being Seek joy! Seek joy until you cause joy! Cause joy until you know you are joy. –C. Teevens When I urge people to seek joy, usual mind may think that means vacations on sandy beaches, a shiny new car, ecstasy with a lover, or a rich bank account. That is the usual way people try to make themselves happy. The blatant reality is that all of them come and go. All of them are impermanent and unreliable. Because we have needed them, we believe in free will so we can try to make them happen. And it may be that you do get them. Once, twice, or even more. Yet still, they do not stay. And …

The Alchemy of Death

The Alchemy of Death Ring…Ring… “Cindy! The phone’s for you,” my friends called. This was unusual. I was in college and had just turned nineteen. I did not often get calls up there, in New Liskeard, 160 km north of North Bay. On the other end an unrecognized voice said words I will never forget: “Hello, this is your long lost Father.” In some kind of limbo, I thought of my Dad and, partly stunned, I said, “My Father’s not lost.” Reaching around in my memory, thinking about my Dad at home who raised me and how this was not his voice, I remembered what was not high in my consciousness; that I had another “Dad”. My blood father. It …

Seeing eye-to-eye

Seeing eye-to-eye I looked and blinked. And looked. And blinked. Something was not quite right with him. Something about his face. That was a year ago, and our first meeting. It was not until the third meeting that I could see what was obvious–he had one green eye and one grey eye! And here it was happening again. I looked up at the doctor and noticed something “off”. Then she asked me what I was there for. On the weekend I headed out for my walk but found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into the woods, and into the stillness. Onto a log, I layed on my back and released into it. Then sat up and sank further. Then …

True Infinite Love

True Infinite Love A gift arose with the early morning sun on my stroll today. I had been contemplating the massive changes in my life and my experience of life since last April (when I discovered the joy we all are), when a big picture understanding struck me. In Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) it is known that we hold values that drive our attention, intention, behaviour, and beliefs. Beliefs cluster around values, and while we can loosen, erode, and replace beliefs one by one, it is a tedious and slow process because there can be many of them, and also perhaps  because they are important to supporting the more important, larger value they are linked to, and so we cling to …

Cindy and Mooji Speak the Unspeakable

The Laughter of Speaking the Unspeakable with Mooji What fun! April 25th, 2010, on a live webcast, I got in as the last caller to speak with Mooji… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH1XiPju1iU[/youtube] Mooji teaches “self-inquiry,” which was the additional practice I added just before the direct seeing of self in the woods this past winter. The use of his words cut through the false sense of “I” strongly grabbed me, turning me inward. (More on that in “Speaking the Unspeakable” in this newsletter.) In the video, I tell Mooji about that understanding, and the experience of the laughter and crying with joy and gratitude, and our attempt to speak the Unspeakable was funny. Thank-you Mooji! After further inquiry some weeks later, even the …
