Simplicity

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

Has anyone got a spiritual view of "Simplicity" that can be applied to living

life?

 

Regards,

Yes, and it has to do with living in the present, surrendering to the now, and

remaining open to the spirit through faith in presence.

How true. I love this whole concept of Nowness and Openess.

I posted this under the topic "Relationships" because that's the title of the

article at

the link below, but it's about simplicity, too, so I thought I'd repost for

anyone who

missed it before. In fact, I haven't read a single post from anyone who read the

article, at least, no one posted their comments if they did read the article.

The article

is about stillness, and stillness simplifies even the most complicated things,

so I

think it's on topic with Simplicity:

Deepak Chopra says that if we come into the flow of the Unified Field (what

others

call God, Goddess, Life Force, etc.) sometimes things may seem chaotic, even

more chaotic than before we came into that flow/field. He likens it to if you

were to

observe Grand Central Station, where people are boarding trains to many

locations,

and if there was an unexpected track change, a bunch of things need to be

re-routed,

so it looks even more chaotic than it had looked. When in actuality, the entire

time,

there is order underlying the chaos. Allow yourself to experience stillness

within, the

stillness of the Unified Field, and then you don't have to be tossed about by

the

waves and ripples of chaotic appearances/experiences.

 

The Tolle article can apply to daily living in that as long as we don't make a

"solid"

i.e. "inflexible" reality out of our daily plans, what seem like inconveniences

due to

how they affect our schedules, or our lives, mean something else is happening,

there

is something else to be present to and for than what we previously expected.

What

could be more simple than that?

 

This brings to mind a Talking Heads song: "Heaven/Heaven is a place/Where

nothing/Nothing ever happens."
