Whats your Crutch

Warriors,
Last week, one of the teens talked about an experience he had where he and a group of friends took some mushrooms, and sat in the woods for 5 hours laughing, watching the trees, the ground and the sky twist into each other, began to understand oneness...felt true connectedness and let the sun pass while they tried to figure life out.

Then he asked, "How is that a bad thing?"

I said, "How's the rest of your life going?"

He replied, "OK, I guess."

I said, "If the only time you see and feel those things is when you are on drugs, if the only time you feel truly connected to your friends and contemplate oneness, you're high...if the only time that you take a minute (Or 5 hours) to connect with nature, you're wasted...how can that be a good thing?"

What is your crutch? What is the thing or person or place you use to achieve a balance or experience a connectedness to all things?

Do you have to be in "church" to really feel God?

Do you have to watch a comedy to really laugh out loud?

What things outside of us do you clutch on to because the MAKE yourself feel a certain way? What is your catalyst or your leaping of point to experience potential, power or purpose?

Could you take the feelings of joy and connectedness, the feelings of oneness with nature and God (Goddess) and feel them right now? In front of your computer reading this, could you ponder the endless possibility and completeness of your own divine spirit?

Or do you need a crutch? What would make it EASIER on you to feel these things?
Can you mix the mundane and the divine... find yourself practicing the most absurd and heart-opening moments in the middle of your hum drum, lah-de-dah, ho-hum, same-ole same ole...you can bring your connection to our highest potential to EVERYTHING. All things point back to center.

You can't always be in the Temple...unless you are the temple.

How would you act if your were always in the temple?

I love you all so much,
Aaron
