Just be...

I have to get this done,

I have to get that done,

I need this thing,

Daddy I have to take these three Barbie's with us,

I need the PS3 because it has the best Blue Ray for viewing new movies on the new flat screen,

I need this person to say this to me so I feel good enough,

I need peoples approval so I don't doubt,

I need my husband to quit arguing with me,

I have to get my wife not to pick on me,

I will go crazy if I don't have a vacation soon,

Really?

Are these really true?

Do these things really need to happen for you to have happiness?

If you do this, or that happens how long before you say the next statement that says "I need..."

Does needing anything lead to anything but temporary contentment?

No, it does not.

So where is this elusive happiness?

First accepting the fact that it does not come from wanting or needing anything...

It is not found in another person...

It is not found in any one thing...

It comes from first releasing your need to label things...

To label or name anything is to limit it to your senses, and to limit you...

Loose the labels...

Experiencing being in the woods without calling it the woods or trees or ground or sky, but rather experience the beingness of just being without labels...

If I call a sky - a sky the next thing I will do is to judge it - its a gray sky, not as nice as that beautiful sunset the other day...and yet that sky has amazing beingness that you just missed from labeling it and judging it...

Just be with it...

Doing what you ask?

Nothing...

Just being...

What are you talking about? I have to do something...

And all the beauty of the immortal moment of NOW is lost when you think you need to _________

I am?

No, just am...

Just be...

An eternal happiness flows as you "just be"...

It only stops the moment you forget to just be...

There is no sadness of loss...

There is no lack...

There is no absence of peace...

There is the fullness of this eternal moment of now...

A smile a crossed the face of all...

All that will ever be...

As one learns to just be...

Our illusions of separateness are no more...

As love extends in the union of just being...

All is completed in learning to just be...
