April 15th - Don't know about you, but modern life keeps me pretty busy. Immersed in the normal mindset, there is just too much stuff going on to commit to something like this on a regular basis. Not only is it not practical, it's out of the way and fully at odds with my normal life flow.

This is reality according to the everyday mind.

But if, in the moments of real clarity or deep honesty, one asks themselves what really matters -- I mean what really, really matters most, most everyone will concede that it's love.

To do what we're doing is to make love and light, truth and sincerity, human belonging, priority #1. It goes against everything the practical mind might think.

It's a waste of time; it's out of the way; it costs money to get there; must take time away from work or other things; it just doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense... until that is, you ask the deepest of questions. From there, it makes perfect sense.

So the question we might all want to ask ourselves is: from what level of truth are we operating? If it isn't from the very core, are we not living some kind of lie?

The search for truth is uncomfortable. It opens our eyes to a blinding light that hurts as it exposes all of our ignorance and falsities. It forces us to give up the comforts that have brought us happiness, at the expense of things that have suffered through our neglect.

Ultimately, it's your decision. Your longterm happiness will depend on the choices you make. Pursuing the Divine is like working on a neglected car or like cleaning a dirty bathroom. It's hard, unpleasant, soul challenging work, but ultimately its a matter of living with the neglect or living with health and inspiration. Denial is a tempting option, but sooner or later, you have to do The Work. There's just no other way.
