This snippet on the political/religious values and purposes of the Turban was brought to you by sihk.net.
The other morning at Sadhana I saw "Doc" readajust his turban- which required him to unwind the entire turban. I have never see an sihk unravel the head gear before! I expected waist long hair ~ grey hair ~the color of his beard...nope. He had a shock of chestnut brown hair that is cut as a bowl-short and shaved around the back of the head...I am surpised by the look. Then he rewapped his turban and he looked like the middle aged man that I had always thought him to be...In fact he is much younger. That shock of brown hair attests to this.
"Doc" is one of the sweetest of the bunch as his his beauiful wife and lovely daughter. He is always supporting and mentioning my "accomplishments" of showing up regularly and mastering the core exercises. He feels for me, and the one time (sinilar to this evening) I was up to midnight and came to sadhana at 4:30am a half hour late, he congratualted me told me he knew it must be hard for me to show up late but still come. Actually it was not at all hard for me, I have a committment I show up to the best of my ability.
I don't make any committments I don't fully intend to keep-that is the secret of committing- knowing what you want ahead of time. Using the "fire of your will" to be present on the earth plane. Exercise the ancient muscle of love, will, and discipline.
If this committing is a gift of yours already, then put it down "this time around" and concentrate on being flexible, and playful-since your practice of the ancient muscle will just create inflexibility- and the unicverse loves that mistake the best- it will continue to sen dyou messages of consiousness until you decide to let go. It can be painful if letting go scares you..yes ...this is so. Resistance is Futile. And creates uncomfortable situations.
I am on a wonderland journey called life. I am so thank full I was blessed with the ability to see and be present...Life is good but stilll there are challenges...with people's personalities...but at Waldorf there is love and room for forgiveness. There is alignment within the community.
ANDDDDD, I got in the water yesterday. It ws firty and cooler than I remember, but what joy the feeling of the current againt the skin, the gravity being released within the body. The motions of gliding and being totally supported by the Mother. The pleasure of living, moving, breathing, seeing, new things and new people...working with children..OH The children...so funny and sweet Now it's time to suppor the community that has hired me and in that I am committed..but also aware that the Universe will lead if I pay attention to my inner sene.
Action, with attention to desire. Creativity is paying attention to the subtle, and letting the subtle guide to manifestation.
Enough wiffle for tonight I must be up in 3 hours.
Maybe I will start wearing a turban?
