bliss is attainable

having attained a blissful state( Im not always there,but I have reached it),it is my personal experience to KNOW bliss. Bliss is definitely NOT an emotional state controlled by thoughts and feelings..it is a state of complete absence of thinking ,dissolution of sensory input,and hyper-acuity.......I have no desire to explain it or how to attain it. I know it.If you wish to experience it,you will have to want it, study, seek, explore, and believe in your perfection.
By maintaining an emotional state of anger,disappointment or frustration because others have not lived up to your expectations is the fertile ground where the seeds of unconditional love ,awareness, and KNOWLEDGE are planted. Remember, poop makes the best soil.
but, hoping to change the world with love and happiness by exacting contempt/anger/unhappiness on humanity is like using a condom when you want to have a baby.
walking a spiritual, enlightened path means discipline. Reading about bliss and experiencing or
living bliss are as different as watching football in your living room or being the quarterback in the super bowl.
Know this,happiness is attainable, bliss is available.Start by loving your self.

New York is the best INTERACTIVE performance piece of all!

We had an amazing trip to New York, we realized that the entire city is a performance piece , a stage, and everyone participates.every character is represented, the rich,club owning playboy who desires true happiness, the beautiful woman with the better than you attitude, the ancient jewish grandmother who breathes New york like life blood, the crazy guy with the big talk, the con man, the russia wife, the silly japanese girl, the elegant maven, the socialite denizen, the tortured artist, the homeless intellectual, the wall street shark,the excited collegiate,the jester, the clown, the cowboy, the mother, the cabbie from poland that bought his home ,the curious, the chess playing boy, the loud mouth fast talking hustler, the quiet watcher,the black clad cigarette smoking cachetic model with the pale skin and sunken cheek bones ,the brooklyn girls in high stilletto heels stumbling drunk down the cobbled stoned streets of chelsea looking for a husband with a job,...everyone actively playing the part wonderfully-which makes it the largest scale performance piece of all, and when I come , I get to be IN it!.. the lady-doctor,who performs in Rock operas,present in the midst of seeming chaos, with rainbow dreads from california that meditates in the middle of the street! my handsome, smoking hot neurosurgeon husband. wow, what a host of charcters.

changing habits-surrender vs desire and resistance

at the start of yoga today,we made an intention.Mine was to change old behavioral patterns/habits. By the end of class right as we began corpse pose, Carol told the class to surrender.In my mind ,I pictured Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz". and the black smoke in the sky"SURRENDER DOROTHY" and realized that the movie was a metaphor for the life of illusion we live. As I surrendered into the pose, I knew that I was also surrendering my desperate desire to CHANGE my reactive behaviors, and the anger I felt towards the people that I was directing my reactive behavior to. As soon as I surrendered , I realized that my behavior, my feelings of anger , my feelings of frustration , and my disappointment with myself at being unable to change had dissolved. Just by the power of surrender, I had ceased to resist or fight the behavior and it was changed, In my surrender, I became aware of the "stuckness" of my resistance.Even though I wanted to change ,I was so needy and desirous of change that it actually was keeping me IN the behavior patterns,.That the patterns of behavior were intertwined with my inability to change it.It frustrated me and I couldnt change it, As soon as I relaxed into surrender of what IS , I was able to see...becoming aware,overcoming frustration and changing my desire. WOW.
