Enjoy the Blue Sky

There is a deep silence inside of you which is your true nature. However, most of us can not feel it because we are too busy running around. We are probably always on the move because we want to drown out all the noise in our head. In fact, we spend most of our time running away from ourselves. It is a like we are too busy chasing after things so we don't have any idea what we have at home anymore. We don't remember what we have in our pantry room, nor what we have in our fridge.

You probably remember many occasions when you were so deeply buried in thoughts that you just gobbled down your food without even being aware of what you were eating, or an evening when you were having sex while all of your day's problems were still spinning in your head. The point is that only when you manage to experience the stillness inside of you do you manage to enjoy life's precious moments. The way you live right now doesn't allow you to truly appreciate how special you are, nor are you able to enjoy the many presents the To has lined up for to spoil you today.

This deep silence is just like the sky, it is always there. Sometimes it is hidden though behind the clouds. Yet, this deep silence never changes, it is eternal, it never comes and it never goes. The divine silence defines you, but often you lose track of who you really are just because there is too much background noise.

It is so easy to be carried away by the voices in your head, the emotions, the stuff you want to get out of life and all the physical distractions. We forget our true nature as we identify with something that we are experiencing. We are so fascinated by temporary cloud formations that we forget all about the blue sky in the background. We forget that we are the consciousness; instead we think that we are our thoughts and emotions. We are carried away by life and often become confused and lost in life's eternal ups and downs.

The good news is if you truly want to connect with your eternal silence you can do something about it. If you are tired of the many cloudy winter days living in the Mid-West, move to San Diego instead with its eternal blue sky, or at least spend a long vacation there. The point is that you very much can quiet down the endless chatter in your head with meditation, yoga, mindful living, sports, a creative outlet and a meaningful employment. If you truly want to know, the Tao will tell you how to get you there. Every moment becomes an opportunity to reposition yourself, a new way of experiencing all your emotions fully, a new start at work to synchronize your professional and your spiritual aspirations, a new attempt to live each moment in the now. See for yourself how as you follow the Tao's lead, the voices in your head are fading into the background until all that is left is your eternal silence, the real you. Enjoy the blue sky ahead.
