"Being virtuous comes through the understanding of what is, whereas becoming virtuous is postponement, the covering up of what is with what you would like to be. Therefore, in becoming virtuous you are avoiding action directly upon what is. This process of avoiding what is through the cultivation os the ideal is considered virtuous; but if you look at it closely and directly you will see that it is nothing of the kind. It is merely a postponement of coming face to face with what is. Virtue is not the becoming of what is not; virtue is the understanding of what is and therefore the freedom from what is. Virtue is essential in a society that is rapidly disintegrating."
I awoke early this morning around 8:35am and worked on my mantra, I did 80 today which is very good. This meditation I have been thinking about writing all day, I read it this morning and I have been pondering what to say about it and I have yet to come to a decent conclusion. This one you could think about for a life time and never truly come to a decision on what it should me for you. I know it is a kick in the rump for me... someone telling me to stop postponing my future and come face to face with the challenges that are before me. The only way to get through conflict as it present itself is to face it head on. I need this freedom, and this is found in the freedom from what is. And right now, what is, is my challenges that are approaching oh so quickly. I don't want to keep covering up what needs to be done, which is for me to move and find a job. I don't need to keep the pause button down on my life for too long, if I am unhappy I need to put action into my life and face this head on. Tonight I will lay this to rest and tomorrow will be a new day. Tomorrow I will begin again with a new mantra and a new passion, I will move forward and see myself in the mirror as a new being, because this new being will focus face to face with what is, and move forward with great action, to feel the freedom from what is.
