Thanks for choosing this piece for the week. For me, it has come at a time when i am in the midst of having started off on a regular meditation practice and also getting fresh influences from some "Eagles".
My musings are that some rare folks naturally gravitate towards/discover and abide in "eagleness" and the vast majority are firmly ensconced in happy/unhappy "chickenhood". I reckon, i am one of a significant cohort of humanity who see glimpses of a different reality but remain majorly "earthbound".
I am seeing promise in weakening the grip of past conditioning by coming back repeatedly to a state of "awareness of being" rather than, or even while, giving importance to the content of awareness, that is, usual life - guided by the talks and books of "eagles" who inspire me and to whom i can relate to. Devotion/Bhakti/love can be and is an added helpful force. In its steady gentle form, it is the ballast for moment-to-moment daily discipline.
