#krishnamurti – The Potential Within

“It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.”
~Jiddu Krishnamurti~

The world desperately needs you to be your authentic self. Collectively, we are transformed by the light you bring to our experience. Once you discover your passion, seek unique ways to express it. Rather than attempting to determine what others expect or want, understand that you are simply here to shine.

Celebrate your magnificence. The purpose is to learn Oneness through contrast. Each of us must ultimately discover the expressions of consciousness that seek to manifest through us. Some teach through service, others through art or inventiveness and some, through Presence. No matter what your soul calls you to do, be true to yourself.

Joy manifests through giving and sharing; however, balance is imperative in order to be a pure channel for the light, love and laughter of the universe. Nurture yourself and listen to your body. Doing so will allow you to find your own way of harmonizing mind, body, spirit and emotion. This is the gateway to enlightened experience.

If nothing else, seek to leave each interaction better than you found it. Whether personal or collective, love is expressed by walking gently in the world.

“I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”

~T.S. Eliot~

Fear creates a fight or flight mechanism in the mind. The ego takes over, and creates a story that repeats until it is believed. At this point the personality has lived with the script for so long that it becomes a perceived reality that blocks any real joy from arising.

While it may seem that many today are lost in fear or angry reactivity, there is a balancing conscious awareness that is also coming into being. Many spiritual seekers who have cultivated the tools to rise above are bringing a new perception into focus by being living examples of peace, compassion and awareness.

Krishnamurti once said, “Do you want to know what my secret is? I don’t mind what happens.” This seemingly simplistic view of peace calls upon us to recognize that fear is a self-made condition. Our resistance, reactivity and righteous anger add energy into the illusion, keeping it alive. Choose to recognize everything and everyone in your life as a teacher. Imagine the freedom that comes from seeing all circumstances as an opportunity to love. And remember – love and fear cannot coexist in the same space.
