LOP Beyond Peace and Quiet

Posted to FaceBook Jan. 22
I have recently added another project to my life that has increased my 'ToDo' list by three fold.  As things get busier I can feel how much I have relied on my moments of peace and quiet for remembering who I really am (WIRA).

Before this project I not only experienced peace and quiet, in many moments of my day, from the world around me, but also from my own mind.  Having a fast paced project with many details has increased the 'busyness' in the world around me and the number of focuses in my mind, which seems to have led to less peace and quiet, which then seems to have led to fewer moments of LOP.  However, I know that my outside world does not create my inside world, I know that the way I perceive things creates my experience of my world, so I must have a perception that is contradictory to what I want, and what I am doing, and WIRA.

Over the years I have learned how to connect with WIRA through quiet and peaceful activities like meditating and journaling and time by myself.  I have probably come to believe that the peace and quiet are necessary for me to find and hold my connection with WIRA and to LOP.  But is that really true?  Does having more great things to focus on need to reduce my experience of LOP?  Does it matter where the physical body is during a day full of 'being here and now' moments?  Is not my ability to choose to appreciate things around me still fully available to me?  Could it just be that since I learned to LOP in peace and quiet, I have continued to believe that my connection with WIRA comes from peace and quiet and it is now time for me to evolve beyond that belief?

Instead of believing that my ability to LOP comes from peaceful and quiet times I could believe:
My work is to listen and capture the inspirations, no matter what is going on around me;
My work is to be fully present and focused on that which is in front of me;
My work is to trust in others, the unfolding, and the energy that takes care of the planets orbiting, the plants growing, and the thriving of our world that has continued for millions of years;
My work is to remember that success is not dependant on the puny amount of physical action I can push into being each day, but on my clarity of WIRA and being able to hear and see my answers when they are presented to me;
My work is to remember WIRA first, and then take care of whatever is next, and not trying to take care of everything first and then find time to LOP;
LOP does not come from control and order, but from remembering and knowing.

I do love my moments of peace and quiet and . . . LOP does not come from them.
