Search for Purpose.
They say that a Tourist doesn’t know where they have been and a traveler doesn’t know where they are going. For me I felt like I was slowly making the transition between being a tourist and a traveler. Where was I going… I didn’t know. All I had was my intention and a sense of purpose. I was on a mission to find my Teacher and I was prepared to go anywhere and do anything. My purpose was to learn so that I may share that wisdom with others and perhaps if I learnt well enough and through dedication and hard work, tireless effort I may make such an impact on them that they may go on to teach others and so on and so on, a some what idealistic dream but it was all that I wanted to do. My soul purpose you might say.
So I had interviews with Abbots of Monasteries and Lamas of various Traditions. I was looking for the most qualified Teacher I could find and at the same time I knew nothing of what I was looking for. I had no way to tell a good teacher from a not so good teacher. No way to know a fake or phony, Perhaps if they had light shining from there eyes or could tell me who I was in my former life and what I was looking for… but no, none of that was likely to happen.
Here I was the blind leading myself along a road at night trying to find my way.
Reminds me of Shantideva a great India Yogi and Scholar that I was to learn about later in my studies, He had a most marvelous saying, the kind of thing you need to hear at time like this.
He would say something along the lines of:
It is like your walking through the hills in the middle of the night, lost trying to find your way. And then a flash of lightening lights up the nights sky and it all becomes clear just for a few moments so that you can get your bearings once again and continue upon your way.
I think in moments when I have been looking for an answer or for a reason to go on I am lucky cause I know that lightening comes, sooner or later if you just stay put and wait it will come.

The Rainstorm
There is something to be learnt from a rainstorm.
When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road.
But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet.
When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed though you still get the same soaking.
This understanding extends to everything…..........HAGAKURE (taken from the book of the samurai-Yamamoto Tsunetomo)

Agents of Change
Learning how to tune into what is! As you see the beauty in all things, when you tune in and drop the static resistance to this moment, to what is! You step out of the realm of the Ego and out of the struggle for your self the small happiness you’re scratching around for. As you see the beauty in what ever you tune into, you start to value, admire and appreciate it – this is the progression to love. As you start to love all things and become tuned into all things, you become one with all that is. Since everything is ultimately divine – we can see it in things like nature, babies, music, art etc We call the divine many things ~ Tao, Buddha Nature, Oneness, Energy of the Universe, Creator, God, Mother Nature, Allah, Joy & Love. When you tune in! whatever you tune into you’re tuning into the divine. The Inner experience of tuning in is Joy, the outer expression of Joy is love. You become a transformer for the energy of the divine to flow through you, as it flows through nature and all things. You transform it into a humanly digestible energy. You become an agent of the divine. The pure energy of the divine flows through you – Joy and Love. Just by being and living your life with this knowledge and wisdom, The contact you naturally have with others will cause a subtle but distinct change. THEN ~ YOU ARE AN AGENT OF CHANGE! So go to it. Tune in to the divine – get out of your head and into your heart. Get out of the ego’s fears and ideas of separateness. Know – We are like the many waves on the ocean. Although every wave is a separate distinct entity, Whichever wave you follow to it’s depths : ~ You will find the one ocean ~ This applies to all things. Learn to Tune In ~ Be in Tune ~ Tune into the Divine.
