it takes genius to make things simple

[Guest guest]

Crow

your quote evoked in me something that i wanted to share for months with

this group

 

I long for simple thinking, for pure thoughts like children think and see

things in their eyes. Very often I wonder if this enormous attraction to

energy-stuff, body-mind and knowledge in homeopathy, miracles etc, is not

complicating me

and my thoughts.

In a way It reminds the difference between Zorba and his friend (The

writer). Zorba was not complicating things so he was a doer, straight

forward, simple and genious and he was joyous.

Jois de vivre!

The writer was the opposite... in a way. with lots of knowledge in books

..... but he did not live fully.

 

 

In a way by trying to be so knowledgeable and accumulate more pieces of

information - is trying to be manipulative .... and this complicates and

spoils the purity of the simple thought.

 

Sometimes i envy " simple " people who know very little about alternative

medicine, healing, yoga, meditation , fractal pattern astrology, chinese

medicine, vedic medicine, positive thinking, vitamins, martial arts

phylosophies awareness , or the mercola site ... and they follow their

" simple little " mundane goals day after day like kids without getting

complicated. and guess what they do very fine without reading spiritual

books or quotes about simplicity:-)

 

so i keep thinking: May be i chose the wrong way? or he convoluted

way? -Then creep inside hesitations, indecisiveness, guilt, critisizm ,

fear and i feel stucked. what a complication ? Ahhha! What can be done to

think like a kid again? to be free and simple and light,,,,

 

Please share your thoughts with me.
