Relate to the practice of meditation: tower m otto

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space.  He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.  Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.  Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)  Mathematical Circles

----------------------------------

Pay attention, then you will know there are other options. It will actually be within your power to experience a crowded, hot, slow, consumer-hell type situation as not only meaningful, but  sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars: love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down.

David Foster Wallace, Commencement Speech

---------------------

Love alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability to love developing until it embraces the totality of men and the earth." 
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

THE MYSTERY

"LOVE AND DO WHAT YOU WILL"  St. Augustine

Get Together 

The Youngbloods 1960's

Love is but the song we sing, 
And fear's the way we die 

****

You hold the key to love and fear 
All in your trembling hand 
Just one key unlocks them both 
It's there at your command

    Pinata stress exercise + CINQUO DE MAYO MUSIC

    TRANSFORMING THE PINATA TRADITION AWAY FROM ATTACKS ON ANIMALS:

    TO A THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE OF LETTING GO OF FEAR, ANGER, ETC.

    ALL TRADITIONS EMPHASIZE GETTING THESE FEELINGS OUT OF  THE BODY

    IN BUDDHISM IT IS MERELY  BY  BREATHING OUT BUT IN THE WEST IT IS OFTEN BY DISCHARGING ENERGY MORE DRAMATICALLY: THROWING SOMETHING OR HITTING SOMETHING; SO....

    PUT THE NAME OF SOMETHING THAT IRRITATES OR ANGERS YOU ON THE POST IT NOTE AND POST ON PINATA

    WHEN DONE STRIKE THE PINATA, WITH THE HAMMERS IF NECESSARY, TO DISCHARGE YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY

    KEEP  DOING SO UNTIL THE REWARDS SPILL OUT

    PICK UP SOME AND PUT IN BAG TO TAKE WITH YOU
