Along my journey across the United States I have learned ‘non-attachment’. There was an interesting example of this while riding through Houston. While riding, as I’ve mentioned before, I have been listening to the Hay House HEAL Summit which was 4 days of seminars by various speakers. Well, as I’ve delved deeper into this I have become the observer for everything around me. Along side of me a car was rear-ended, crushing the back end of it, the car that was rear-ended swerved towards me, I downshifted the motorcycle and gunned it to get clear of the collision that was heading towards me. As I pondered this after getting clear of it I laughed. Why did I laugh? Because I was observing it, I was no longer part of it, there was no story that I needed to make up in my head, nor did I feel the need to freak out or make up what could have happened. It did not alter my reality for more than the moment that it happened.
What was the lesson of this?
Mind you, I sent prayers for the people in the accident. I’m sure they weren’t looking forward to that in their day and I do sympathize. I don’t want you to get the impression from this that I don’t care. I’m sure that they learned a lesson from this as well, and as the observer on a motorcycle I am very aware of people on their celphones. Now that I’ve got that disclaimer out of the way, what did I learn?
Living in the NOW as Eckhart Tolle teaches is about getting rid of the ‘what if’s’, or ‘should have’s’, or anything else that comes from the past, or of the future. Being in the NOW is about being present. Present with our feelings. Present with our actions. Present with our thoughts.
I pulled the Hanged Man today from my Tarot deck. The Hanged man is about surrender. It’s about not being attached to anything and allowing ourselves to experience the journey.
Life is about the Journey, not the Destination.
Peace!
