Simplicity

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Confucius

Last night I was reading Power vs. Force, David Hawkin's book. In his Introduction he states: To explain that which is "simple" can sometimes be almost impossible; yet if we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we'll have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and of life itself.

I really related to this statement. When explaining the Receive courses, I always say: this is so simple, so counterintuitive -- yet this work with these simple, simple exercises shifts the way you are in your life. And as your inner landscape shifts, the outer follows as life continually rearranges itself around you. It's not about raising self esteem or increasing your self worth. There is impersonality to this, if that makes sense. One of the ways I describe this work is this: It's like putting the right key in the right lock. It's a universal mechanism where your opinion of yourself is simply not the point.

We can make things so complicated, so convoluted. Today, instead of running around on the hamster wheel in my mind, I am going to remind myself of the beauty, elegance and simplicity of life.
