Grocery Store Tonglen
michele
Although the hardcore part of what I read is not this, this is what can change the world from the perspective of anyone who picks up a random blog here or there: Conscious intention toward those in our midst... It's like tonglen, but in active moment to moment use.
What happens for me so much of the time is that I TRUST that the Eternal Whatever It Is will take care of whatever is to be taken care of to the point of my pure laziness. But alas, since I do believe I am a facet of that thing, I have a responsibility to do my part! Dang it. The first sentence is easier : )
Goldsmith mentions actually tuning in to God (however you define that) and putting out the intention for all of those in your midst, your reach, your world, this wish... for Eternal Grace, Love,Peace and Abundance! And he suggests we do that twelve times a day.
Can you imagine what a difference that small move would make in the world? What if half the people in the world, a quarter of the people in the world, did this every day? What if people stopped once an hour to focus and intend for all sentient beings to experience grace, love, peace and abundance? Amazing, amazing, amazing. It just makes me glow with potentiality.
Join me! Don't just think the words though... actually intend them from your highest self. Change the world, one grocery store at a time!

Twelve times a day? Does God forget and need to be reminded so often? How about I put out intention in the morning and just ask the universe to spread it all to last all day? Would that work? You know like a time release pill……….. :)
