Creating Your Own Reality

Hi Friends - Running out of time this week, so leaving you with some stories for deep thought and reflection.


The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
By Sogyal Rinpoche

1)
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hope in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

2)
I walk down the same street.
There is a hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

3)
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there.
I still fall in...it's habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

4)
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

5)
I walk down another street.


Creation: A Sioux Story
Author unknown, source unknown

The Creator gathered all of Creation and said, "I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality."

The eagle said, "Give it to me, I will take it to the moon."

The Creator said, "No. One day they will go there and find it."

The salmon said, "I will bury it in the bottom of the ocean."

"No. They will go there too."

The buffalo said, "I will bury it on the Great Plains."

The Creator said, "They will cut into the skin of the earth and find it even there."

Grandmother mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said, "Put it inside of them."

And the Creator said, "It is done."
