Why Paddle Upstream ?

We see many of you, standing on the top of a mountain. And your goal is to run down the beautiful trail and get into the canoe that is there--and live happily ever after! We see you planning. We see you make sure the trail is there and that it is well lighted. we see you check your time and make sure that everything is in place. and then we see you, very careful at first and then gaining a little momentum, going down the trail...You hop into your canoe . You turn it upstream---and then you spend the rest of your life paddling. Because somebody has convinced you that life, if it is worth anything, has to be hard. That there can be no gain without pain!

You justify your experience by the hard work of your paddling, and we say, friends, turn it downstream and flow with the current.

Flow with the current and then you can use your finesse and your decisions and your energy to guide your canoe into the delicious little nooks and crannies that surprise and delight you!

You do not have to use your strength and your decision or your clarity..to make the energy flow. The Energy Flows! It is your natural legacy. It is who you are. You came here to get in that flow and then, once in it, to utilize it to that which surprises and delights you--to allow yourself to be a funnel where pure positive Energy streams through you into this time and place. It is a part of your fulfillment of life. To vibrate so in harmony with who you are that by virtue of the new stimulation of thought, by the new data of the physical place, you take thought and experience beyond what it has been before. Fulfilling another, very clear, intention of your reason for existence. Abraham
