Native American: Who will win

 So true this one:

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt.

He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart.
One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one."

The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?"

The grandfather answered: "The one I feed."

Get off your butt

I was read an e-mail this morning and ....and in my mind I wrote a blog as a response while preparing breakfast.

Then the day got busy and now I am left with only the remnants of it.
So here just a few phrases.

Sometimes uncompromisingly following your path and being your authentic self leaves you with few friends or followers. Not giving in to what is  wanted but persisting in offering what is needed is a way of looking at it.
Who says you need more talk? Might feel good - and what good is that?

I almost signed up for an online course today - expecting the price about the same as for other courses by the same 2 women - only to discover this one is twice as much  - hm...I was not willing to pay that given my current circumstances. ...and I never asked for favors. I have paid the prices along the spiritual path. This course would have required some work, actual doing of stuff.,,,and presently I am having to let go of jobs to be able to do new ones that are taking priority.
As E.J. Gold has sometimes said: If you don't do the practices, don't complain  you don't get results.
Sitting around discussing ideas can only take you so far, which is, in my experience, not that far at all. While one cannot force the river, ie you can't push anyone to be or do what they cannot, my message is: get off your butt and do the practice. At least give it a try. Then let's meet and talk about the experience.

For example: doing the magic practices that a teacher is recommending.
Why don't you try it, go out and do the way of service and report your experiences?

Those who want more talk and tapes and explanations - go out already and do this, especially if you are an oldtimer and have been at this for 30 years.

How many times have you done magic tricks for kids in the hospital? On the street, in the plaza? Have you even so much as practiced.
It's been amazing to watch the emergence of a path.

This might be difficult to understand out of context. So be it. This is all that is left since this morning.

I guess when the muse strikes - better write then and there.

Donations welcome - the more you donate - the less you might be asked to buy - maybe Or: have you paid for all you got? It is not up to me to decide - it is you who has to know if you have incurred dept.

Doing service is, among other things, a way to pay back dept.

How about doing magic tricks in a homeless shelter on Thanksgiving - unless you are attending a workshop? :D
