"TRULY YOUR LIFE IS A MYSTERY and, yes, truly it requires that you explore it if you wish to comprehend its purpose, its meaning and its true direction. This is essential for your happiness and fulfillment in the world, for if you have been looking carefully at your life, you will realize you have not been satisfied by little things. For you who seek Knowledge, something greater must be given. You must penetrate the mere surface of things, which seems to adequately stimulate most people. You must accept your deeper yearning or you will cause yourself unnecessary grief and conflict. It is not important what other people value. It is important what you value. If you are seeking for greater meaning, which is true meaning, you must penetrate the surface of your mind.
IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE PERIODS TODAY, again concentrate in meditation upon feeling the presence of your Spiritual Teachers. This is not something you have to try to do. It simply means relaxing, breathing and allowing your mind to open. The quality of your relationship with your Teachers is essential to give you strength and encouragement, for you may justly doubt your own skills, but you have good cause to fully trust the skills of your Teachers who have passed this way before on their way to Knowledge. They know the way, which they are seeking now to share with you.
Practice 36: Two 15-minute practice periods."
I've always felt life is a Mystery not even partially comprehended by modern Science. I remember in High School Biology when we studied exactly what a life is, I had so many questions for my teacher. I have always been fascinated by Native American Mythology, and according to Cherokee Lore, every single rock, tree, and creature has a spirit, and a name. Science thinks that inanimate objects are not alive, and that is proof to me that Science today contains an infinitesimal fraction of the Knowledge about Life. Today I feel the presence of my Spiritual Teachers. They are with me and I am so thankful. I want to hear their Knowledge, and receive their strength and encouragement.
