#74: More on Currents.

More on currents. Are we aware of the currents that run through us?

When they are excessive in force, we are. Various rushes of emotion, heat, electricity, chemistry.

Someone recently told me of a time when he got so carried away by the rushes of freedom, speed, sensation, exhilaration he experienced while jetskiing that the excitement made him jump off into the water almost involuntarily. Then he was struck by the sudden rush of fear of what might be looming in the water below--hungry.

High of highs.

Then there are the subtle but powerful currents that drive our daily lives. The currents we follow that form our lives.

They animate our personalities to produce the emotions we feel, the states of our minds, the conditions of our bodies, and, thus, the things we do.

If we're fighting currents that produce maladies in our lives it means we've chosen to follow them in the first place.

Instead of fighting the currents that harm, let us jump off of them in full consciousness and create enough awareness to bravely choose the subtle currents that generate the light we seek.
