Matter and Energy

2009 February 24th

Any gardener or spiritual master will tell you to frequently weed your garden. I'm talking about your physical garden and the garden of your life. Weeding the garden of your life includes cleaning the closet, throwing away the crap in your files, donating those clothes (you know which ones). It also includes discarding poor routines, habits of thought, spending habits, etc.. Throw it all out. Cry if you need to, celebrate the divorce with wine or tears (or both). Processing the transformation is helpful in reformatting your hard drive.

What you may not realize, is that all of that stuff goes into the universal compost pile: the physical stuff, the energy expenditure, the routines. In that pile, the matter and energy reorganizes and becomes rich in opportunity and potential, for you. You can call it the earth in which you create from. Once you've done some weeding, you now have room in your "garden" to make use of some of that potential and opportunity.
