Modalities of Awakened Doing

Susan TaylorLeave a comment

“The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. Each one represents a certain vibrational frequency of consciousness.” pg. 295

“Not what you do, but how you do what you do determines whether you are fulfilling your destiny. And how you do what you do is determined by your state of consciousness.” pg. 294

Disconnection from the Body (Radical Wholeness)

Susan TaylorLeave a comment
  • “Living in our heads, we feel separate from the body-and so we similarly feel separate from the world. We experience the world in a subject/object duality – on that estranges us from our environment and obliterates the companionship of the Present.”
  • “When we live in our heads, we experience them as the center of our intelligence.”
  • “Living in the head, we see the brain as the sole organ of our intelligence. So whatever has no brain is deemed incapable of intelligence.”
  • “When we live in the head, we feel the body as something we ‘have’.”
  • “Our disconnection from the body’s intelligence carries an implicit value judgment that it is inferior, not worth listening to, second class and incapable of worthwhile insights.”
  • “If how we relate to the body sets the stage for all other relationships, then how we relate to the world won’t fundamentally change until our relationship with the body does.”

Sleepwalking versus Wakefulness

Susan TaylorLeave a comment

“When we live our lives as sleepwalkers, our fate is as uncontrollable as our dreams. Sometimes we have good days (good dreams) and sometimes we have bad days (bad dreams). But only when we are awake and can see clearly are we able to respond rather than react to life’s challenges. Responding from wakefulness means to act with wisdom and compassion.”  pg. 5

We want to be brought into the “heart of wisdom”.
