Becoming Enlightened — Part 2 … (02/04/12)
ON BECOMING ENLIGHTENED — Part 2 …
OK, now that you have gone out and done an anonymous deed of Kindness for a Friend (It felt GOOD, yes?), it’s time to “turn up the volume” a bit. After all, only our difficult deeds are truly Power-full, and only our Power-full deeds will be “loud enough” to be heard by our ego — only our radical acts of Kindness will prove potent enough to allow us to not ……only comprehend our Oneness (which makes us “intelligent”), but to EXPERIENCE it (which makes us “Enlightened”).
So how can we go about making our acts of Caring more difficult? By making them more “dangerous” of course! No worries, Friends — Task #2 is not really dangerous at all, but rest assured that your primitive reptile brain will think it is, and that will be enough.
Soooooo, without further ado, Task #2:
Go forth and do exactly the same deed of Kindness you performed for your Friend, only do it for a complete stranger.
Note that, because you will be dealing with someone you have never met before, and someone who you will probably never meet again, it will be necessary to do the deed directly for them (without divulging your name or your reason, of course).
Remember, the more difficult (see “self-sacrificial”, “valuable” or even “scary”) the deed, the more Love you will be “booming” to the other, and the more intense your experience of enlightenment (i.e. pure Oneness) will be.
So, off you go …
No, seriously, why are you still reading this? Go ahead …
Get up, go outside, and spend the next 15 minutes of your life doing something amazing …
