November 8--Check Your Focus

These are excerpts from today's "Daily Guide" in Science of Mind magazine. It was written by Rev. Dr. David Ault. 

In the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition, the nature of mind is often likened to the sky — vast, open and fundamentally unchanging. Phenomena such as thoughts, emotions and life events are clouds that pass through the sky. No matter how dark or turbulent the clouds become, they never alter the sky’s
essential nature...
When we identify with the cloud — with fear, limitation, separation — we create from that illusion. But when we remember we are the sky — limitless, spacious, eternal — we tap into the creative law and live from that power. The path, then, is not about attempting to control clouds. It is about remembering the constancy of sky, abiding in our true identity and creating, not from fear or lack, but from the knowing that wholeness is already ours.

    I like this! I focus too much on the clouds!
