Well Yes, Well Being = Wealth

Well being for me is a wisest form of wealth. However, it takes courage to change my old habits and focus on ways I may prosper. Transforming my words into deeds is paramount to my future happiness.

It is time to ACT- ACCOUNT, CORRECT, TRANSMUTE to dig up the buried treasure.

Account- First, how may I show by action? By taking inventory of my strengths  I can tap into what inspires me instead of tires me? What lightens me instead that which weighs me down I can best get pass my weaknesses.

Correct- Second, how I may correct my past mistakes so I can invest in new ways to care for myself and others. How may I be more focused and less distracted?

Transmute-Third how may I transmute my circumstances since well being truly equates to  wealth.  Once I see the virtue of my new attitude, this gratitude fully applies to what I presently have here and now.

For me I use the word "WellYes" as an ultimate way for self care.  Also this allows me  to better serve myself and my world.  Sailing out into the new seas of personal discovery, I must navigate around the huge icebergs of those habits that turn my dream boat into a ship wreck.

Willingness powers the winds of change for my voyage. Asking and honestly answering wise questions directs me to my buried treasure of new riches thanks to WellYes.

My old inner critic can quickly spark a mutiny.  However, finding which directions the warms winds of heaven may gently blow is my challenge.  What works better to go with the winds of change or against them?

What's better? WellYes or Hell No? The simple notion to richly pay attention to the the treasure map of well being is how I chart my course.

My lucky stars above are my guide if only I may trust their guidance. Such fearless trust  fosters new possibility and light.

My buried treasure is a profound joy and peace unveiled within my heart. WellYes acts with both divine guidance and protection to liberate and elevate me better serve myself and others. What's your treasure map to dig up your true wealth?

Aspiring for Higher Possibilities

By expanding my communication and social skills, I can explore humorous and artistic ways to engage our greater interconnection and show our basic oneness.  This unites me with other people and helps all of us attain greater joy. Innovative group dynamics allow us to share our common truths while attracting new awareness and possibilities.

For example, years ago I had a profound insight.  “How can I love all things in this world with a bountiful heart while still having a small sense of loathing about myself?  Even such a tiny separation negates the entire truth of my compassion.”  I used to identify with my inner critical and unloving voice.  This voice lied to me, constantly pointing out my inadequacy, not my potential and how I might thrive. Today, I see that my thinking can be either a blessing or a curse.  My thoughts do not define me; however they may confine me.

My basic freedom is my ability to make wise choices.  How can I best go forth without causing harm?  How can I cultivate grace and beauty?  Asking the right questions can help me do this.  For example, what limits or boundaries could I concentrate on, in order to lessen my distraction, and stimulate the attraction of a better situation?

Paramount to my progress is asking the best questions.  If success is tied to both communication and relationship, how can I listen more closely, so that I could repeat back the words that have been shared?

How can I better show up to fully experience what is happening?  How to see the blessing hidden inside whatever grey cloud or misfortune may come my way, generating gratitude and enthusiasm?  What brings greater light into my life? What is my plan/intention?  How do I pay attention to my intention?  What gives me more grace and less stress?  How can I fully show up to this gift of presence?  What lessens the drama in my life and maximizes the fun of it?

My prosperity and happiness are closely tied how I answer these questions above.  Advancing my highest potential has a direct relationship to my very well being.

Heart Path

What is a wise way to live?  Giving my best and being of service is what comes up for me. However, many old patterns and current anxieties can distract me from honoring this path.  I need to remember that causing no harm also extends to radical self-care.  I can make a decision that serves the greater good while advancing my own well-being.  My best choices are about micro managing my own actions, within my circle of influence.  Taking care of my personal matters allows me to focus on giving my best to the world.

This allows me to help others while also getting my individual needs met through skillful planning.  However, doing this requires care and a wise understanding of the consequences of my or others' action.

It is easy to get diverted.  A situation may arise were a person portrays their victim story.  I have a choice; I can either sit there and give my freedom away, interacting with this person, or I can graciously take my leave in a kind way.  It is critical to remember that only I have the ability to decide whether to lessen my anxiety or add to it.  I call this the micro-game or eye of the hurricane practice. I can either keep an inner calm or get pulled into the wild winds of outside phenomena.  Leading by example requires me to fully listen and concentrate upon what has heart and purposefulness.

Numinous Possibilities

In the silence of the stillness I see the earth and
sky interconnect. Thick roots intertwined and a miraculous
circuitry runs through the black earth, and rocks.
Another neuro-network anchoring a gigantic grey oak trunk.

Solar bound this tree's huge branches reach in vast community of
organic arms into the cosmos.  These branches lifted skyward spinning
an amazing web of connection similar to their sister’s roots system below. 

Tiny green leaf buds are nurtured by trillions of rays of star shine.
Brilliant and illuminating bands of white, yellow, orange and red
traveling millions of years greeted these future leaves.

Lucidly I observed that this tree is us. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and
other nutrients electrified this cellular organism by a mysterious
particles wave. Our amazing water bodies are being purified by these
celestial ultra violet lights influencing every atom here.

The transmutation of these astral lights forms a union of opposites
grounding the heavens with our earth; rooting the soil with water and
air charged by this extraordinary solarized phenomenon.

Out of darkness chaos roots recycle new leaf life. A numinous one-ness
is born beyond concepts. Where the sea meets the land or air touches
the water. The mystery of this whole, where a moment becomes a trillion
years. A rare synchronous and numinous events celebrate the unification
 of our inner and outer worlds.

Rays cycle- circulating the elements of all known things, simultaneously
dancing light
and darkness in unimaginable ways.

Celebrating My Divergent Micro-Being

When I first visited Sparky, my therapist, I had diagnosed myself with acedia, historically “the bane of solitaries” (Hermitary.com), since my spiritual apathy was equaled only by my existential angst.  His insights became precious touchstones for me in a sometimes emotionally perilous, moment-to-moment existence.  How can I go forth amidst the overwhelming information of loss, despair, ignorance, and destructive injustices that characterize world affairs?  My cynical mind-set toward our doomed society was imprisoning me in the lethargy of a victim mentality.

Since Sparky is a divergent thinker like myself, he enabled me to see and deal with my life on a micro level.  To begin with, I was unaware that I was a “divergent thinker”, attempting to fit into a convergent, deductive thinking, mind-set.  The dominant process here is to follow logical steps in order to arrive at one solution.  My free-flowing, divergent mind is spontaneous, creative, and non-linear.  I emerge with unexpected interconnections.  My thinking is more contemplative, persistent, non-conforming, and inspired by my curiosity.

Attempting to repair damage from the macro convergent perspective creates gridlock.  For example, if I attempt to assess what can be done about government waste, I am met with the political reality, known as “use it or lose it”, a stance that recognizes that maximum spending today increases the expectation of future dollars coming our way.  Emotionally, my circuit breakers shut off and I become estranged.  However, if I just focus on my own individual ability to “use what I have and prosper”, I am free to use less, to respect my air, energy, water, and land.  And I personally benefit.

This practice of Micro-Being allows me to best exercise my talents for cherishing and appreciating life’s gifts instead of being distracted by my anxieties, this macro circle of concern.  It requires me not to ignore or deny what is going on in the larger world, but rather wisely to filter the constant barrage of negative news.  The key is to let go of what I have no power over and to act with a pure heart.  Now I may humbly concentrate on deeds that make a positive contribution.

My practice of Micro-Being involves three remembrances:

     *Be kind and generous to all things, especially myself.

     *Honestly and humbly evaluate what is in front of me right here and now.

     *Once distracted, forgive myself and return to the creativity of my divergent Micro-Being.

 

My three prayers:

      *May my choices honor and enrich my micro world and well-being.

      *May I be blessed with a Micro-Being Positive Feedback Loop.

      *May my choices benefit the macro world, lighten it, and never prey upon it.

I am not the predator or the prey, just a kind and wise Micro-Being!

The Ethics of Truly Being

Living well for me is about treating people, places and things with care, and profound respect.  When I humbly remember not to bring harm to these things, I give myself an amazing gift of higher self-care.  My moral awareness is constantly observing my decisions and how they affect my world. When I experience the consequences of my actions, I can reflect upon what was skillful and how it brought benefits to the the things I value.  The key is an honest and open assessment on how well I am living by my core beliefs.  
 

Over the years I have been refining the way I live according to this life-intention to honor what matters deep in my heart.  It is a work in progress and I approach it with humility.  Such evaluation allows me to cultivate what I value most.  Wise moral development is paramount to my very well-being.

At any given moment I can seek alignment with more a wholesome way of being....  Can I honor a kind, humble and observant lifestyle with conscientious deeds and words?  Or do I choose to become self-absorbed and go forth with false values?

Specific people in my life have been my champions and I have emulated them over the years.   Generous, attentive, considerate, their examples have been powerful and inspired me to greater self-actualization.  However, on my journey there have been many detours and lessons reminding me to keep on course.   Remembering my difficult times has allowed me to review whatever does not best serve me.
  

One intention I attempt to live by is showing reverence to all things.  Whether it be a resource or a person, or even a place, I try to appreciate it for what it is.  I try to meet people where they are, without judgement.  And the same for myself.  I believe that what you plant, you harvest. In some mysterious way, this respectful perspective brings me what I call “happy returns.”  I have rituals to express symbolically my compassion for the world, and they help me discover what is kind and caring in every situation that arises.

When I forget to be in this mindset, I find my life losing meaning and I become emotionally diverted.  My ethical synthesis is about resolving what is profoundly true for me.  Listening in stillness, I contemplate what matters deep in my soul.  Also I am learning to focus on my actions: I can only demonstrate through my own deeds.  With each choice, I am responsible for creating heaven or hell for every cell of my being.

I am careful regarding language, since there are many definitions and concepts to do with such words as “moral” and “ethics.”  Being ethical for me is really a form of counting my blessings.  The things I treasure, in return, bring treasure to me.  Whether I am reading, listening and/or contemplating, I try to nourish my gratitude... love, be loved, and show self-care that expands into a sense of service to all the things that matter.  Well-being and ethical being are one and the same.
