Manifesting or Allowing?

Dear friends,

I am writing this letter in Italy. Right now I am in a Buddhist village in the mountains, a wonderful place that can only be reached by foot.

I keep on traveling and writing, and meanwhile my heart is also guiding me towards new paths and endeavours. My heart would like to find a place to land, to come home, to create a haven of beauty and peace, for myself and for other people.

Some people like to manifest their desires. They seem to take pride in their ability to do so. A free parking space is a typical product of their manifestation skills. I never felt drawn to develop those ‘skills’. To manifest things seems related to wanting things, and who is the one who wants? It’s the ego-person that wants to achieve, be proud, and thus becomes attached and identified … I am just not interested in that.

I would rather be available for Life to dance through me. I would rather be the hands and eyes and brain of divine will. I let my heart guide me because it listens to the language of divine will, unlike the mind which seeks to understand and calculate and be smart. The mind is a very limited creative force compared to the ingenuity of Life itself. This is not to say that what divine will calls me to do goes without effort. No, it asks dedication to listen, to meditate, to not be distracted by shallow gratification, and just do the work that needs to be done.The person sometimes thinks it has better plans. However, the objective isn’t to indulge my individual desires.. Look what I have achieved! The goal is to dissolve the person, to allow Life to dance through that person, to become One with Life itself. I feel blessed not to be attached to any specific outcome, allowing me to experience the wonder of each moment.

Let’s see if that place and I meet and when that haven starts to take form. I imagine a small community, with a daily practice of conscious dance and silent meditation, where people can come for short restoring holidays, or spend a longer time and be involved in the unfolding of the place and the daily tasks to be done. As always it should be affordable for many people. And as always it all may revolve around remembering our True Nature.

I will keep you posted through these letters.

May you let go of limiting personal desires and allow divine will to dance through you.

Much love,
Zoë
