The non-transmissibility of the experience

 

A basic point, which often emerges from the  questions of people approaching bioregionalism and lay spirituality, is that of non-transmissibility of the practice. That is, each of us should see in himself the appropriate way to manifest his spiritual and ecological nature, knowing how to adapt it to all that surrounds us, in question and in answer .

In bioregionalism and in lay spirituality there are no dogmas but only harmonic adjustments between the various components, the inside and the outside, the one and the many.

The only help we can afford to travel companions, as "old" practitioners, is that of a non-voluntary example, or of fair conduct, in full sincerity and honesty, which is not intended to show anything but simply to express ourselves in our truth.

If   appropriateness  in response was not intrinsic in our  action  as we could discover it in universal life?

Perfection is our true nature, but we are unable to recognize it and we are terribly worn out thinking that we have to do "coded" actions to "appropriate" it.

I recall a saying that the old Calcata peasants used to say to me: "the best is the enemy of good" ... And that is just so, weaving and trying to improve we can not perceive the good that is already in us ... The good that only requires to be recognized by renouncing superstructures and impositions that do not belong to us.

And what does it mean to be perfect?

Simply be what you are without remorse or regret, without looking for someone's approval, because if we are what we are obviously  it is our own competence. From this comes spontaneity and naturalness ...

Unfortunately, what is lacking is confidence ... and from this shortage arises the desire and the fear and thus drives that "diabolical" mechanism of wanting to organize our actions and feelings, as is done with a machine.

This attitude makes us commit a mistake after another ... and more we are mistaken and more (trying a remedy) we make other mistakes ... so other fears and other desires are added. In the meantime, human society (and ourselves as people) rolls away because it can not function as a mechanism, it is not made up of mere gears and numbers.
