To Rethink the Unthinkable

By B Duche

What is true “spiritual effort”?
Not to knock my head over with promises, hardship and discipline.
But to be and stay in the right consciousness. Just being me, no matter what.
What it takes is a realization. A click.
When I radiate love, happiness, contentment, that same vibration comes back to me. People feel naturally attracted to my smile, my refreshing inner beauty.
The question is: How can I remain constantly so radiant? Five elements have to be aligned. Make such an easy life for yourself!

I like what's easy, don't you?!

I mean, whatever my field of activity, if, in order to reach the same result, I have the choice between something playful and something hard and serious, I'd choose the playful one, wouldn't you?

Well, it's sounds odd to me but actually, I know that a lot of people would choose the hard way.

I've seen it.

And maybe they are right, I don't know.

I'm not one of those people who believe that the only way to make a decent living nowadays is to win the lottery, to become a soccer player or a star of reality TV.

But, hey, we've spent so much time (and probably so many lives) making everything complicated for ourselves... like OK, it can only be intelligent if it's complex! Know what I mean?

Even in the field of education, they have realized the importance of play and games for kids to learn better, faster, easier, right?

Otherwise, I have to make a lot of effort, you know, discipline, sacrifices, renunciation and all that, in order to get some kind of reward.

Well, sorry, it doesn't have to be that way!

Easy is fun! We all agree there. But also, easy is smart. Easy goes straight to the point. Easy is efficient. Easy is very beneficial.

An image is worth a thousand words, right?

In a way, easy is more risky. May be that's why these people are scared of it!

Discipline and effort are so reassuring. Like the scaffolding that I'm afraid to get rid of even when I'm doing interior decoration!...

We've been brought up to think that you have to be responsible, serious, reliable... Yes, of course, all that matters, but does it have to mean heavy, tough, bossy and boring?

Can't you be reliable AND light?

Even double-light: Being light and spreading light?

We all know that we have to transform ourselves, that we have to accept change.

OK, fine.

But do we have to suffer for that? Is pain the only process for inner change?

Cannot love be a factor of change as well? Cannot happiness create change in our life and for others around us? Cannot even a peaceful attitude create change in an agitated atmosphere? Haven't we all observed how the innocence of a toddler can change the whole attitude of adults around?

OK, so, it's not so much: What do I want to do? or What do I want to have? but  What do I want to be?... Do I want a nice little comfortable life or do I want to be my higher self, whatever that means?

Or can I be both?

Can I hold on to the branch that I'm sawing off? Do I have to saw if off?

I know deep within, that if I spend my time eating, drinking, sleeping and just indulging in the good old
