Move at the Speed of the Heart



Never give up
No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country is spent
developing the mind instead of the heart
Develop the heart,
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends but to everyone,
be compassionate
Work for peace in your heart and in the world
Work for peace, and I say again
Never give up
No matter what is happening
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up.

 
Tenzin Gyatso
14th Dalai Lama

We move at the speed of technology---the faster the better!  We have bought the whole line, hook and sinker--connect with your tech and go as fast as you can.  So we become extensions of our electronics, the on/off switch--instead of the heart of our very being.  Driven by the newest "4g phones" and tera bite hard drives to save everything.  We breath through our technology and not through our spirits.  There is a saying about being the ghost in the machine.  We hollow out from within as the mechanical replaces the organic--living by the heart.

So take just a day....that's all.  Leave all forms of technology behind.  Breathe through your spirit, open the eyes of the heart--be the extension of God's life in this world.  Then set some limits for how you will use it....and go forth to live, fully.
