Thoughts...
Meditation is used a form of healing the mind. Healing is necessary in order to return something to its original state, a healing wound soon closes over and is returned to its norm. The question is: what is our mind's original state. Today someone suggested that a balance of the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual componants. The mind reachs stability and harmony when all four are found in balance. We feel uncomfortable when these elements are out of balance... as in daily life we only notice disorder, the unusual... when the elements are trying to tear themselves out of place.
My role in this world is not to change others, it is to change myself, and through interaction with others hope that my personal chilled-ness encourages others to a similiar level... still working on this one.
How much of our daily allocated hours are spent being aware of how we relate to external factors? How you feel physically compared with the heat/cold... how worried you are compared to your neighbour... etc etc How much time do we allocate to to championing ourselves. Two things here: a) if I don't know what is my essence I am going to have a hard time connecting with it, b) if I cannot do this then I will have a hard time finding super chilled-ness.
Who am I? Am I Australian? Am I an AIESEC employee? Am I in Bahrain? Am I 24? Is my name John? Am I graduate of Sydney University? All these things are transistory and have changed at some point in time...actually all of them bar my name and nationality have changed in the last 2 years... So if these things are always changing, but these are how I describe myself then what is my core? how could I be describing myself? Do I describe my physical features which are either skin deep or common amongst the masses? What is different about me... what is my core? My physical presence is a tool for me to communicate to the world... what do I want to communicate?
that's it for today...

you must have a lot of time to be thinking that kind of stuff!
or maybe I just don't take the time to reflect enough...
I wish these were my thoughts, they can from someone far wiser than I...
For my practices, meditation is to empty my mind, to let go the self, to be able to expand the self also - haven't been englightened enough to understand if it is healing or not.
I find that when I start to wonder who I am, I take a deep breath, sit down and go through my wallet.
Most of the stuff in there has my name on it.
al - hahaha!!
Westy, have you been mixing a little extra to your sheesha? Deep thoughts mate. I would suggest that is a characteristic of yours, part of who you are, perhaps a more stable characteristic.
so funny, i have been having almost the exact same thoughts... mid twenties identity search ;) sometimes a simple quote helps (see my blog). hugs!
for me, i found that humour is the core... the point at which you can engage in pure laughter, at yourself or with others, is the place where you can find the true you.
Also, making a fool of yourself, being like a child... this is humanity at its finest. To share in a foolish moment with another human being, thats a core of something i think.
At least, it works for me, because humour is not describable... it just IS. and i like that inexplainable simplicity. :)
Thats what I love you for, my friend: thinking deeply & not being afraid to ask questions.
Greets from jordan,
thanks for your support,
we need it & always appreciate it,
oksana
