A Philosopher’s Notes – Little By Little‏

The  Buddha tells us that one becomes good little by little—as a water pot is filled  with water, drop by drop by drop. (He also tells us that one becomes evil, little by little, drop by drop by little decision drop.)

Little by little. Drop by drop.
Little by little. Drop by drop.
After years of trying to fill my water pot ALL! AT! ONCE!, I’m finally
understanding that my attempts to change everything NOW were like trying to fill
a beautiful, delicate water pot with a fire hydrant. Rather than winding up with
a full pot, I pretty much sprayed the thing all around the room (and nearly
cracked it!).
Little by little. Drop by drop.
That’s the way to roll.
Moment by moment. Little decision by little mundane decision. Day in and day
out. THAT’s where it’s at.

Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher

Art and Love are man’s greatest gifts to himself.

There is no art without love. Art is
always the making of the soul, the craft
of man’s touch, whether that touch is
corporeal or the touch of the mind and
spirit; so it has been since Neanderthal
times, and so it will always be.

Excerpt from Power vs. Force

Dr. David Hawkins

Today is my Birthday!

Here I am on another birthday sitting alone with myself and enjoying it! I do not need anything. Company would be nice – but it is not necessary. I am very blessed and happy as I continue to let go and let go of everything I love on this earth – surrended into the hands of God, as I have practiced so often in the past 14 years. It does not get easier in one way – it always starts with a punch to the gut, but now I face it as soon as my gut alarms me. I don’t fight it anymore – I welcome reality as I know it is for my betterment.

These things I know are true – the choices are mine every moment and I have peace no one can shake or take. I am Amy Carol = I am the beloved song of God!
