Is there a right way to make a Q? A right way to form a queue? A right way to play?
We can get lost in sorting out details for the right way, the correct approach.
When we learn to trust our intuition, our inner sense of direction, we tap our integral sense of direction into what is appropriate and effective for us, into what works for us in the whole picture that is greater than each of us individually, while looking at itself from within each of us.
When we respect and honour our own internal sense of direction, our own personal quests, we go about our business naturally, without the twin self-indulgences of giving and taking offence. We can respect and honour the customary rituals of the society we live in without being shackled or strangled by their dictates.
When we operate our lives from a centre of respect and reverence for ourselves, we engender respect and reverence for the lives of others, and we gain the freedom to choose our own way without flouting the dictates of the society around us. Our inner orientation of wholeness is our integrity, and its consequent actions command respect naturally.
Our personal quests must honour our inner truth and direction, for direction never is outside us, however it may appear. This means that we need never dictate impressions on those around us.
Forcing the issue by seeking to impress someone else aborts our real journey into wholeness. Any time we force the issue outside ourselves, we distort our thinking and lose healthy perspective. We get lost in any real quest for harmony and fulfilment in our lives.
The substance of integrity and wholeness eludes us so long as we insist on trying to wrestle ourselves into the right way, into the correct attitudes and words.
