WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ This is a post on the style of The Way of Nature as we
continue to explore Heavenliness through the lens of the 12 styles of the Mandala process. There are 5 more styles to
explore and then we will move on to te 9 Attributes of Heaven.
+ When we tug at a
single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world.
-- John Muir
+ Trees and plants
bring the magnificence of heaven to the human spirit.
-- Tachibanano Toshitsuna
+ Maybe I have said this before:
We are intimately,
intricately, infinitely connected by a matrix of unconditional, unlimited,
uniting Love which is miraculous,
mysterious and marvelous.
This becomes more real to us as we immerse ourselves in
the natural world and natural universe which we have only begun to really
understand. Love makes the world go
round. Love awakens us to all there is
and there is so much more than we ordinarily perceive. Maybe I have said this before:
There is stuff
going on in your mind right now which is far more amazing than what you are
thinking right now.
So, go ahead, “tug at a single thing in nature” and be
amazed at the “magnificence of heaven” we can always enjoy as we become
increasingly awake, aware and connected.
