More about receiving

This word grips me.

It certainly gives me a sense of peace to know that I just have to sit back, relax and prepare to receive, whatever that comes along, whatever will be, will be.

If this is so, why do i still bother with this blog? just receive. why post and throw out my intellectual? This, is not a giving on my part, this is not the easy to understand part as well. I am still receiving, or at least i try to make myself believe.

Its not easy to release yourself from all powers and receive. because the human paradox is a nasty twist of irony. after my long post on receiving, i receive certain vibes that the argument is not complete, not strong. not perfect. which means my reception is not clear, i am still questioning the answers i received.

I will try not to amend the earlier post, instead i will supplement it with another one, or many more thereafter.

I remembered part of my earlier post, i mentioned something about ‘Music has gone stale, songs I like, I don’t seem to quite like them anymore. Quotes and books has lost their meanings. I literally flat lined.’ I left that line kinda hanging there without further elaboration.

I why did i ‘flat lined’?

Its growth, for example I have listening to Jason Mraz over and over again, it bring about a certain feeling, which is why we all listen to music, its a kinda a groovy feeling we get out of it, or we expect from it. i flat lined because i was not longer receiving them, i was expecting music to do what it has done in the past, i was expecting words to come together and form meaningful meaning for that i can feel ‘motivated’.

Motivation don’t comes from those word. motivation is in me. i wasn’t receiving the motivations because i was so busy expecting and reaching out for something else. when i settled down and got this figured out, music is of a different texture. motivational quotes dig more than ever, the connection is strengthened and rebuilt.
