Ok, here’s the story. I was writing the post below when I received these pictures. How could I resist sharing them with you? I couldn’t. But more importantly, I didn’t want to.
Which therefore leaves me with this somewhat odd post of things seemingly unrelated. But are they? Mmmm…I’ll leave you decide… :)
Discipline. Or self-discipline.
You’ve heard of it. You may have recoiled in disgust. Or you may have applauded its merits. And most, if not all, of us equate it with ‘hard work’.
Let’s take a look, shall we? A really good look.
Let’s begin by why some of us at least regard it a good thing and consider it necessary. In other words, let’s examine what we believe its merits are.
Most of us think that with self-discipline, we’re more likely to do what we should do, avoid what we shouldn’t and therefore remain stable, secure and safe.
Fine. So, what exactly are the threats to our stability, security and safety? Or, if you prefer, to our wellbeing?
Is it greed or gluttony? Is it promiscuity, whether sexual, intellectual or sensual?
Here’s what I think: The only threat to our wellbeing, to our stability, security and safety is….
Ignorance.
Ignorance, you say?
Yes, ignorance.
Of what?
Of who and what we truly and naturally are.
In my experience, when I am in touch with my naturally free, uninhibited, creative, joyous, abundant, powerful SELF, flowing seamlessly in it, as it, I am unencumbered.
The so-called ‘merits’ or effects of ’self-discipline’ are naturally what I am – stable, secure and safe – not by any conventional standards but by the unconventional, unrivalled, unparalleled, unconditional, immeasurable nature of love.
You’ll simply have to try it for yourself.
