Most people live their lives trying to satisfy the needs of
their physical body. They are perpetually choosing things which
will either feed, clothe, beautify, rest or in some measure
satisfy the body, or failing that, make plans to assure the
continuing sense of "imagined" wellbeing they have
thus far enjoyed. The vast majority of people live life in a
state of Body-Identification and honour a Body-Reward-System,
believing that their physical shell is all there is. The body
does not seem to want to rest, it seems to always want to do
something, is never still and exists in a state of "doingness",
and you inhabiting the body tend to comply to it’s wishes,
rewarding the body at every twist and turn.
Doing or doingness is a body function. It appears that it
will at times assist you in the furtherment of your spiritual
development and at other times it appears to hinder you. It
seems you are at the mercy of everything the body wants you
to do. Now, doingness will never lead to true happiness because
the body wants to be recognised for the work it has achieved,
and if the reward is not forthcoming, unhappiness will be
the result. Only when one chooses beingness will it have the
desired effect. If you live your life in a state of doing
you will react to life, sometimes and more often then not
negatively. The truth is, there is in actual fact nothing
for you to do. All that is required of you is simply to be.
Choose to be, it is that simple. If you want to be happy,
be happy. If you want to be strong, be strong. If you want
to be tolerant, be tolerant. Then why not be highly selective
of your choices, so for instance choose to be loving rather
then fearful. Love exists in beingness and fear has it’s
birth in doingness. Try it, simply be what you "want"
to be and express yourself to the highest possible form that
you can imagine, in other words, that you are capable of being.
Your soul is not ever concerned with the needs of the body
because it exists in a state of beingness. The soul does not
"do" anything other then "be". It is concerned
about the state of knowing what it’s like to be God in
all it’s permutations. To the soul your body is nothing
else but a tool, driven by the power of your mind. This may
sound harsh to some, but it is the truth. So far, your life
has reflected everything that you was seeking to be. If you
are not happy, then you simply chose wrong. "Doing"
happiness will result in reaction. "Being" happiness
is the result of creation.
There is absolutely nothing standing in your way to be what
you want to be. Since you can’t escape from yourself,
the only hurdle standing in your way is You. Most people choose
to create a Living rather then creating a Life, which is the
underlying cause of their unhappiness. You have the power
of creation and the beauty of being always within your grasp,
so why not use your free will and create something beautiful,
something of benefit. You can change your life knowing how
to be, and many more can change the world simply by the example
they set.
