Angels Talk About Rainbows

A rainbow is a source of wonder to humans.  It make people feel joyful, as though they have just witnessed a miracle.  Perhaps, it is.  Perhaps, we all have a genetic memory that rainbows were the signal that the rain was over and if there was drought, plants would grow.  Perhaps rainbows are a reminder that life goes on.  Perhaps, we feel that rainbows are about hope – they make the future seem brighter.  

“Shine your soul with the same 
egoless humility as the rainbow 
and no matter where you go 
in this world or the next, 
love will find you, attend you, and bless you.” 
― Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry

No Ego!

When there is no ego or selfishness, there is nothing that will destroy nature, nothing that will exploit and abuse nature. Then the external, physical aspect of nature will be able to conserve itself automatically.   —Buddhadasa, “Conserving the Inner Ecology”

One of the most difficult things seems to be recognizing what is ego, and what is not.  Ego is the piece of you that works to keep you safe when you are in situations that could be dangerous to your health.  That is a good thing! 

Then, there is the Ego that gets you in trouble by going into rhapsody over your looks, or voice, or abilities, or what ever.  It exaggerates.  Or, it becomes the voice of dissent.  And, it discourages you from trying new things.

We do need to embrace our Ego, and the let it go.

*********************

When we see these words, we know that we are moving towards the peacefulness that we all crave.

It is often difficult to recognize signs in other languages, and yet, the meaning of the words become clear when we look around and see how people behave.  

We are one.  We can practice equanimity, or awareness, or being quiet, or being still.  It is your choice to  find the signs, the words, the actions that work for you.

Blessings,

Judy
