The Four Top Flashes of Life .....Maybe

There may be more than four great types of these moments, but this blog and the forthcoming book will deal with what I have called "The Four Great Flashes of Life"....green, pink, white, blue

One thing I know, no matter how much a person believes in being inner directed, self reliant, independent....no matter how much meditation, what kind of meditation (and I believe it is all good), what kind of inner pathways one creates to one's heart and soul....the greatest things in life....the big surprises....the game changers...the life changing events....come from the outside....they cannot be steered, created, channelled, manifested by one's own self power.....

Think about it for a minute....the most profound things that happen to us happen from 90 degree angles...they come in the side door...who we marry...how we met that person...how we met all the persons we love or have loved....how we found our mentor....how we got that first important job....all this happened through others....through outside forces..."accidents"....there are no accidents...

Oh, yes, we must be ready...we can help ourselves, we must stay healthy and alert...sometimes we must "play injured", when it is even difficult to go on...BUT, it happens just in front of us, within arm's reach...it is a force of human nature...of life...we must work the inside....and be prepared for people to show up right to our side or in mysterious ways...those people are who we are looking for....they have the answers to our questions which we cannot answer totally alone...

I have known people who hunger for someone to love....they look and create lists...go in search mode...optimize their serach mode....

The best matchmaker is what happens maybe when we just relax and let that person just show up...

I have known people in search crisis for their lifework, their calling in life, their professional big thing....they search for years...lists....search rationality becomes their mode of thinking....I was there for about ten years myself....then when it all seems like lost effort, when you are totally exhausted, something happens....

How can I know this for sure, you ask? I cannot give it to you. What I can do in this writing is to ask you to believe that it will come....

You cannot stop the strong river flowing....get in the river....enjoy the ride...something, somebody will show up...

The four forces of life are true forces...they have their own life and force in your universe...you cannot evade or stop them...but you can be aware of them and look for them in your life everyday....

A beautiful morning here in Taiwan...the coffee is strong, jet lag is gone...on to a great day!
