Understanding

“The Gift of Understanding occurs as we let go of our mind’s many tricks of trying to understand and control our life and the daily decisions we make. Our mind can’t give us the answers we’re seeking. It can’t tell us what to eat, where to live, whom to love, what to do, anything. It can only see and play with the polarities of mind itself. It can’t judge. It can only measure. Only our spirit can understand life. Only our spirit can let another person live in our heart. 

We’ve all been fools. Fools for love. We seek the answers outside, when all along they’re inside us. The light we seek is in our own body, locked away in the DNA. It’s so simple to unlock it. Just input the right code.  Just see through our own Shadows. Watch our mind, laugh at its antics, as it stumbles and trips its youthful way through the world. When we have cellular understanding, only then does our mind rise up to see through the great questions and paradoxes, and only then does it stop taking sides.”
