What man most passionately wants is his living wholeness, his living unison, not his own isolated salvation.
I am a part of the sun as my eye is a part of me. That I am part of the earth, my feet know perfectly, and my blood  is part of the sea.”

~ D.H. Lawrence

Belonging To Life

Introduction

This book is an invitation to know again the joy, the wonder and the peace of truly belonging to Life and belonging to your own life.  In this book we explore techniques and ideas that invite you to free your attention from the mind that feels it needs to do Life so you can be Life again. Through being, you will discover yourself again as a part of a vast and sacred process, one that is working tirelessly to bring you into full consciousness of Life.

You will learn how to not be seduced by fear, self hatred, resistance and despair so that you can stay fully connected to Life. Rather than struggling, you will find out how to engage with Life, using your mind rather than having it use you.

You will also discover how to trust all of Life again, even the difficult.  In this trust, you can let go of trying to create a Life and instead be here for creation. And it is safe. In fact the safest thing you can do is be present for your life. That is belonging to your own Life.

The healing that we will be exploring together isn’t just for you. By cultivating Sacred moments of being fully present for life, allowing them to become like a precious string of pearls woven throughout your day, your whole experience of life is transformed.  As you learn how to live in a mind that is alert and receptive to the present, discovering a reverence for all moments, beings and things, you will be able to give to Life one the most powerful gifts any human being can, the gift of your undivided attention.

You then become a place of healing on our planet, for all that you touch and every being you meet is then transformed by the inclusion of your consciousness. Therein lies the possibility of heaven on Earth.  As Vaclav Havel, President of the Czech Republic said, "The basis of a new-world order must be grounded in an environment that respects the Sacred dimension: the miracle of Being, the miracle of the universe and the miracle of our own existence."

When you have read this paragraph, lift your eyes. Notice the quality of the light in the space where you are―the air surrounding you, the river of breath as it moves through you. It is different than when you began reading this for the river of life has continued to flow. Drink from the nectar of this living moment. For this moment, belong to this moment. For this moment, belong to your life. For this moment heal yourself and heal the world.

 About Belonging To Life:The Book

Mary says: "Control doesn’t work!  Not in the long run.  The longer we try to control our compulsions the more this sends us into a downward spiral where the more we fail, the more our self-judgment turns into shame, fear turns into terror, and sadness turns into despair. We find ourselves in a vicious circle of controlling only to be controlled and then back to controlling again. What we resist persists!!  And if we do manage to wrestle one to the ground, another usually takes its place.  We stop smoking and we eat more.  We go on a diet and we shop more.  We cut up our credit cards and we work more."
