People make actions. Sometimes people say: hmmm, maybe I shouldn't act so much.
People embrace non-action. People strive for non-action...
Sometimes, the people striving for non-action say: hey, wait a minute, no matter how hard I try, I stll breathe, and eat, and pee, and crap. I still laugh, and cry, and feel.
People wonder how non-action is possible....
Sometimes, people continue seeking non-action, and master it so well that, durring meditation, why, they simply stop breathing. They become pure white... bodyless. Their bodies simply stop....
But sometimes, people embrace non-action and find that actions continue WITHOUT THEM TRYING TO ACT. Sometimes people find they can become vehicles.
People strive to be vehicles...
Sometimes, vehicles call themselves willing pawns. Sometimes, vehicles call themsevles sanandas. Sometimes, vehicles call themsevles bodhissatvas, or christ-consciousnesses...
And live in the eye of god...

Life is a mindgame, how do we win /lose.?Action or non action. The final reward will be the face in the mirror at the end of the trip. Will that face in the mirror be our friend?
:-D Speaking of mirrors, and final rewards, and friends… my favorite poem on the subject–
…
If I speak in the languages of humans and angels but have no love, I have become a reverberating gong or a clashing cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing. 3Even if I give away everything that I have and sacrifice myself,[a] but have no love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is always patient;13 love is always kind; love is never enviousor arrogant with pride. Nor is she conceited,5 and she is never rude; she never thinks just of herselfor ever get annoyed. She never is resentful;6 is never glad with sin, but always glad to side with truth,whene'er the truth should win.[b]7 She bears up under everything, believes the best in all, there is no limit to her hope,and she will never fall.8Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete. 10But when what is complete[c] comes, then what is incomplete will be done away with.11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up my childish ways. 12Now we see only an indistinct image in a mirror, but then we will be face to face. Now what I know is incomplete, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. 13Right now three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Yes! Excellent….! But “I” must throw a big 'but' in there. The 'but' is…I think that first and above all, we must love ourselves! It may sound self serving, but I can't give away or radiate what I don't have.
Will, yes, it is best to work inside-out… we must love ourselves, truly, before we can truly love anyone else… we must learn to forgive ourselves to learn to forgive others… but ultimately when we love and forgive ourselves, we'll find our self-concept melting… and egolessness abounds, egolessness takes over, the ultimate flowing self, the lack of static form, the beauty of knowing that the “I” is no more solid than a ripple in a stream.

And live in the eye of god…
I really think we should call it the ear of God… (for a fun change up on word play.)
Listening is so key in this transition of notes in time. x
