Infinite Possibility: Accepting the Beauty of What IS
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LnLVRQCjh8c&feature=related
Good Day Everyone!
A friend of mine sent me this link today. So before you even read the blog; watch the video. I cried rejoicing in the beauty of it.
If this blog, A New View, attempts to do anything at all, it is to give you a new view of appearances. The worn out cliche of "the glass being half full or half empty" is not a cliche, but a powerful directive for a happy life no matter what the appearances are.
Pollyanna called it the Glad Game. And Mary Poppins - incidentally has taken up residence at the New Amsterdam Theater in New York and is enjoying rave reviews - see this if you can.... (http://www.broadway.com/gen/show.aspx?SI=524489&SR=sr2bw210go25667sb3729pi32ai754&gclid=CK_kk7GisJACFSFaagodHl_j8w)
Mary Poppin's view on life has been thought in Western Culture as a nice child's fairy tale. But I think in years to come that Pollyanna and Mary Poppins will be revered as the new "saints".
If you want to become more thoroughly immersed in a "new view" for life; rent the movie "Hook" as well. This should round out your new immersion in the practical and applied spirituality of joy, love and seeing your life, all of life, with new eyes.
It's a new year coming, yes? And you would agree that it's insane to keep doing what you're doing and get a different result, yes? So here it is your homework:
#1: Watch this YouTube video; follow the link and let it fill you up.
#2: Rent the movie Pollyanna, or better still...read the book by Eleanor Hodgman Porter first published in 1913. And it has a sequel!
#3. Rent the movie Mary Poppins or read the stories by P. L. Travers; and if you're lucky enough, go see the play in New York; and
#4: rent the movie "Hook" and/or read the book. (Hook : The Storybook Based on the Movie (Paperback) by Justine Korman).
Children's stories have the luxury of being accepted in their full glory of "fantasy". What's brilliant is that the wisdom in them is undiluted and it's perfectly acceptable for adults to secretly "reach down" and fill up their baskets from children's literature.(Why else do you think the library is committed to keeping what you read confidential?) Whereas when you attempt to find wisdom in adult literature, it's either not accepted there, or it's been so diluted by "rational thought" it would take a miner to find it.
What is the wisdom of children's literature? It's pure and unadulterated (now isn't THAT an interesting word?). It's speaks directly to the unclouded soul and goes straight to your heart - your Godchip - your very own Spirit, by passing your "adulterated" mind. It speaks to Who We Really Are: delight, joy, infinite possibility: LOVE....God, itself, having this marvelous physical adventure.
If "rational thought" and "human mind" had it right, I imagine the world might look a lot different than it does. To get a different result, we have to see with New Eyes and get a New View:
The one we were born with.
Thanks for reading!
