Being receptive...

Am I being receptive to what the universe is giving me?
I can hear the whispers in the wind but am I really listening?

Listening is one of the basic secrets of entering into oneness with the universe. It means forgetting yourself completely. If you cannot forget yourself, you never listen. If you are too self-conscious about yourself, you simply pretend that you are listening - you don't really listen. You may nod your head; you may sometimes say yes and no, but you are not listening. To really listen and become wholesome you need to drop the judgment and adopt a whole new way of doing things. To listen, you need to become just a passage, a receptacle, a womb: become feminine. Listening is the art for becoming passive.

Receptivity represents the feminine, receptive quality of water and of the emotions. As a woman, one of the most essential traits is the ability to receive in way that the aggressive mind is silenced and not allowed to hinder the pure receptivity. Through this, one brings on the complete acceptance and gratitude for whatever life brings, without any expectations or demands. Neither duty nor thought of merit or reward are important.

Be that woman Hola!!

Hi! Merry Christmas and greetings for the new year as well!

Your thoughts are so clear and full of wisdom, yet why do I detect traces (or more) of the regrets (or wounds) intertwined in the words? Let not a mind as rich as yours be consigned to pity for yourself - you are capable of a LOT more! Don't talk about awakening - awaken NOW! and let your goodness flow.

Saints tell us to descend from the head to the heart. Don't let the words strangle you. You have such a fertile and thoughtful mind - why not share your wisdom by writing a book? Your words are inspiring for the ones who read, so write and publish a book that many more people can access and share. You are a jewel, and a precious one, but alas, the jewel doesn't know this!

God is happy when a child of his awakens, and what better day than Christmas! For the awakened one, there is never any sorrow - there is only bliss, for there is nothing but HE in everyone, everywhere.

God bless you.
