Our Aspirations

Our aspirations: 

to be mindful of our aspirations, greater than our goals and not measured by any sense of achievement, this is our overlying motivation now, giving reason for everything we do. An aspiration is beyond the physical capacity of work, it's here that we enter a purely spiritual realm, only really reached by letting go of the striving nature of the mind and allowing life to unfold with the grace of it's own agenda. It's with this that we surrender our role of always pretending to be in charge of every moment and situation, no longer attempting to force life to obey certain arbitrary rules of order. 

 and now we relearn the art of navigation, working with the world again, one nature, guiding by this sure and true connection. Our aspirations are an ocean of fulfillment, our dharma, and we are steered by the information we receive, bestowed by inspiration, and the inner smile of our alignment keeps us to this course. There is no room for mistakes here, but simply because everything serves us in someway now, providing feedback as to our current of navigation, reminding us to allow life to easily happen without undue interference of the mind. 

our aspirations are without goals, and yet allow for their achievement - again this is dharma, speaking of our purpose and being aligned with our true nature. Nothing is forced, no hard and set rules for us to follow. That's why I love the sense of navigation, guided by my own set of inner stars, a galaxy of inspiration for me to steer by and always find my true point of home. 

so I'll offer no real definition of aspiration, purposely staying vague in my description, and this is because we all know our own true and proper course, our dharma, and yours will surely feel different than my own. What I believe is that we may choose our goals and the path for their achievement, but our aspirations are larger than this, pure, remaining untouched by any metric of fulfillment. An aspiration is its own fulfillment, needing no purpose other than it own unfolding nature. We aren't meant to reach our dharma, it's already present, here now, the very essence of who we are. It's simply a realization of our overlying measure, infinite, pure in its potential and fulfillment. 

our aspirations are who we truly are...

now, and always.
