What we believe we lack

Posted on by philipdodson

What we believe we lack is, in fact, what we do not give to ourselves and others.

For example, If we think that people do not listen to us, then it is actually the fact that we are poor listeners.

Whatever we believe is lacking can be easily resolved, we simply need to give to others first what we believe we lack.

So, if we believe no one loves us, we need to start by giving love to ourselves and others. If we believe no one listens to us, we must first listen to ourselves and to others.

The world is a simple reflection of ourselves as we are one and the same. We manifest our own reality in the exterior world.

Give and you shall receive, which has to be free from expectation and then it will return. If we place an expectation, then it is simply manipulation rather than genuine love from our true essence.

What we play is life

Posted on by philipdodson

In the words of legendary jazz musician and singer Louis Armstrong, ‘What we play is life,’ meaning that life is a game, playtime, fun, and a time to create, experiment, and create experiences. Let this moment be as it is intended to be and allow ourselves to immerse totally in it.

Life is a single constantly changing and unfolding now moment. It is the moment in which everything occurs, and the universe always gives us what we need. Everything is as it is meant to be.

We can then go with this and create our art, music, dance, laughter and whatever wants to flow from our soul…let it out to play.

It is important to go with this flow of electricity, energy, and creative juice and not to resist it.

Play, play and play some more. Dance, dance and dance some more. Laugh, laugh and laugh again. Be light, do not be serious and live this moment always. Do not dwell in the past or imagine the future, these are all states of our unconscious mind. Be conscious and create…keep playing the tunes that are the essence of our soul and what makes life a magical experience.

What we play is life.
