These monthly WALKS are good, have gotten things going, but they're not themselves the "thing"...
(next scheduled is this coming weekend - Sept 6 & 7)Let's start WALKING all our lives, all our days, all of us, everywhere we go, whatever we do.
Because we don't WALK any more we are chronically afraid. If we remember the walkabout nomad deep in our hearts we can learn again how to release and breathe. If we let ourselves feel it, we will know how scared we really are. This fear makes us do weird things, crazy stuff. We get angry, become insensitive, out of balance, brutal toward ourselves, competitive with others, inwardly collapsed -- and destructive of this fragile world.
Our fear and anger make others feel afraid, too. And all this also makes the non-human world vulnerable, insecure and confused. The non-humans, watching from their perches at forest edge, get confused by the erratic activities of humans. Our dogs and cats are confused because they notice we don't know how to be.
One day of my life mysteriously brought
me into Fear-No-More Zoo, a place requiring me to feel my fear, face it, love it. Almost everything in me always wants to run as far away as I can from the fear -- my death, and away from others. I used to run a lot. Now I'm called in every moment, by every thing, to "Fear-No-More". Sometimes it's almost too much.
At first I was like,
"whaat?" All I really knew and trusted was my fear. Let go of that? Love instead? Take that wild, irrational, fear and embrace it and never run again?
"Whaat??!"Sometimes the fear pumps so hard every cell bursts and contracts, believing the terror. Only uncomfortable, sometimes painful, love keeps me here, loving life, truth, camel, pig, parrot, horse, you. It's not often perfect love but it keeps me here, breathing the fright, knowing it, letting it free.
These WALKS we've been doing... let's keep them going... and also do them every day...
Fear-No-More World WALKS as a never-ending prayer for the advancement of a world free of the crunch of unnecessary human fear.
WALK to the fridge, the bathroom, across the aisle, down the street, over a mountain, to a friend, invoking the spiritually contemplative depth that becomes, and is, "Fearing-No-More", which is love-surrender through and beyond fear... to the deep stillness existing beyond name, religion, species and place...
WALK in your car, on your bike, your horse, in your canoe. WALK in your sleep, your repose, in your garden, while you're shopping, too.
In doing this we might, at last, find the world free of all that fear creates and destroys with every grimaced grunt. We don't have to suffer the fate of unenlightened men and women, burdened forever beneath the dripping mouth of imagined death's fear.
Adi Da Samraj: The human world is the fear world.
The non-human world is not the fear world.
So Fear-No-More...
like the non-humans do !

Humans were once an integral part of ancient Earth's "culture of Contemplation" but now we stand apart in mind, philosophy, and personalized religion, full of projected meanings, increasingly separate from one another and every thing.
