A Waste of Time? Line Up With the Power! April 27, 2008

The other day I had the pleasure of visiting a friend of mine who is a monk. I drove to his monastery to spend the greater part of a day with him. As I headed out of the city and into the country I could literally feel my body relax and my mind calm. As I entered the silence of the monastery I could feel something shift within me. It felt as if my inner gas tank was being filled and as if a Divine Chiropractor was adjusting my body spirit so that I could be more lined up with the Source Energy within me. It was wonderful visiting with my friend; but, to be honest, I yearned for a bit more time in solitude.

On my way there and back I listened to a set of talks by Dr. Wayne Dyer on “The Power of Intention.” He spoke eloquently about being lined up with Source Energy within. It struck me that this is one of the most important things that we need to be about in our living – to take time to line ourselves up with this energy. If we are lined up, then the rest of life will flow. If we are lined up with this Energy within wonderful things simply begin to manifest in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

We live, however, in an ever more frenzied society that runs at fever pitch and is suspect of such a “waste” of time. I am convinced that this incessant stream of activity keeps us forgetful of the Power within us and so we live like squirrels running on treadmills, . . . going nowhere fast. The irony is that if we would “waste” a little time in silence getting focused we would live much more meaningful and productive lives. It is no wonder that those who we would consider “enlightened” spent significant time in silence and meditation; . . . and they accomplished wonderful things! The fact is, the more we “do” and the more we avoid this “holy waste of time” the LESS we will accomplish. Perhaps we should waste a little time today and step into the stream of Divine Energy.

I agree wholeheartedly! I, too, find myself so caught up in our frenzied society constantly feeling there is this or that which has to be done, as you said:”this incessant stream of activity,” a miriad of demands on my time that never stops. I think we ALL need to “Waste A Little Time” on ourselves to get in touch with the Diveine within and LISTEN to that voice! An EMPTY tank of gas doesn’t get us anywhere! If I want to make a difference I must begin with myself, I must do what it take to fill my OWN tank if I am to have what is needed to fill anothers.
