What Do You Think You Need To Fly? HINT: You Cannot Think It

Daily life distracts most of us from knowing who we are, as our magnificent selves are squeezed down into a narrow rut. Fearful of losing the tiny identity that we’ve created in response to external responsibilities, we repeat behaviors that prevent seeing ourselves differently. We’re so caught up with minutia today that we’ve lost sight of who we were before we were born and who we’ll be after we die.

Our logical mind has literally become our prison; it keeps us in the rut. While it’s important to have a logical mind, it’s even more important to know that we are more than it. We need to sharpen our intuitive mind and step into the forgotten part of ourselves to remember who we are outside of the rut, even if it’s a comfortable one.

Being in the larger space of who we are boils down to lettings things be the way they are without having resistance to them. Of course we don’t have to like everything; we just have a better chance of making things better if we simply attempt to do so without labeling them as wrong. For example, if you don’t like a wall in your house, you can paint it or take it down, however you don’t need to get mad at the wall. It’s actually the same with people. I know that may be a stretch, but it’s true.

It’s like knowing when your car breaks down and you’re tired, cold, hungry and wet, that you have a huge savings account to get you through it. Resistance keeps us caught in the surface of things, like fish in a net, like birds in a cage.

The first step is we have to realize we’re asleep before we can wake up – take time to step away from the thinking mind’s incessant chatter, be willing to shed old ways of thinking and feeling so we can birth new ones, have the curiosity to explore our grander nature and remember it as a wise friend.

This wise friend that is us beyond who we are in the rut allows us to know ourselves on a bigger scale, be aware of a greater sense of time, and allow things to unfold with less stress. Tapping into the part of ourselves that does not change allows us to be more relaxed, balanced, and peaceful with the part of ourselves that does.

Nothing external has to change. Zen explains it perfectly: before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water – after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. The difference of being able to live without mental resistance is that all of life becomes play instead of work. Then we fly.
