Harmony At All Times
Keep Away From The Kids
Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from
the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to God's
kids. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was, "Don't."
"Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God
said. Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we got
forbidden fruit!"
"No way!"
"Way!"
"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" said God (wondering why
he hadn't stopped after making the elephants). A few minutes
later God saw his kids having an apple break and was angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh, " Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno" Eve answered.
"She started it!" Adam said.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that
Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern
was set and it has never changed. If God had trouble handling
children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for
you?
Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a
headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two and
keep away from children.
Boy, isn't that the truth! I wondered where all that started.
It seems in the nature of man to be contentious. Yet it is in
harmony that one grows to great things.
Practicing harmony in all things, at all times, at all costs,
sounds, on the surface to be a little too much of a demand.
It isn't, when you know the real truth.
We are not saying here, simply, get along with others. That
should go without saying, for there is value and reward
enough for that. What we are saying is practice harmony
with all of nature, the trees, the air, the rocks, the land, the
lakes, as well as with all creatures in it, including man.
Harmony is not only getting along with man. It is being one
with all things in your environment. It is recognizing the life
force in all things and being at peace within and without,
with all things. It is a flowing through the earth in a
smooth and non contentious manner in order to quietly and
solidly slip into the position you are seeking.
Contention with anyone or anything merely occupies your
time and energies. It is in harmony that we silently succeed
at the things we want.
To be contentious is to emotionally attempt to boost your
ego, to show your smarts, so to speak, to let the world know
you exist. To be harmonious is to quietly slip past all the
roadblocks and arrive at your destination while others
struggle.
It is quite clear Adam would have been better off if he had
not eaten the apple. So, too, with you. As you harmoniously
blend in with your environment, your environment begins
to appear as you wish.
Harmony in all things, at all times, at all costs, pay larger
dividends than you can possibly imagine. Clearly it is
worth your efforts. Surprises are in store for you.
