Where I will be much of the day.Listening to right now: This song has been on my mind and the idea that no matter what, it's all good.
Today's Bliss Formula: It's such a beautiful day; it's not too hot or too cool, but just right; everything is still fresh green and not browning from the summer sun; today is a peak spring day where I am...how about where you are? Have you noticed?
Ideas have become far more important
to us than action – ideas so cleverly expressed
in books by the intellectuals in every field. The
more cunning, the more subtle, those ideas are
the more we worship them and the books that
contain them. We are those books, we are those
ideas, so heavily conditioned are we by them.
We are forever discussing ideas and ideals and
dialectically offering opinions. Every religion
has its dogma, its formula, its own scaffold to
reach the gods, and when inquiring into the
beginning of thought we are questioning the
importance of this whole edifice of ideas.
We have separated ideas from action because
ideas are always of the past and action is always
the present – that is, living is always the present.
We are afraid of living and therefore the past,
as ideas, has become so important to us.

Do your actions match your ideals? Or are you stuck in the talking phase of life? What is one thing you could do today to move toward more experiential living, living that exemplifies the person you really are?
