Weekly Insights: The Way of Water...

Neptune has been sharing deeper insights with us in our daily lives and in our conversations with friends and Loved ones. A very special friend of ours has a deep connection and appreciation for Bruce Lee, and this week she was sharing with us his philosophical side. Along with being a powerful martial artist, he was a deep thinker and believer in higher wisdom.

Bruce Lee once said, "Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."

He also talked about how water allows us to flow while not breaking us. Instead of meeting the concrete wall, we can move through obstacles and stay in the flow with the presence of water. Despite the small challenges we face on this life journey, we have the ability to move forward with courage and strength. Water finds a way through, no matter what the obstacle may be. This is a great reminder to keep flowing through the tougher times, and never stop moving. It's important to remember that the realities we see in front of us are a direct result of our choices, and we can make different choices at any time. Listening to the soul and following the guidance we are given, we have the opportunity to make wiser decisions as we evolve. One of the best choices we can make when darkness is coming at us is to let it circulate instead of allowing it to stick. Negativity can only impact us if we allow it to stick to our hearts and minds for any period of time. The water teaches us to keep moving, to stay flexible, and to allow things to wash over us and then out of us - not attaching to anything on this physical plane. Pain on the Earthly plane is caused by attachments and expectations, and we can let all of that go with one single choice to stay in the flow of our highest and greatest good.

Either way, no matter what choices we make, we can always follow the philosophical beliefs of Bruce Lee and hold a strong vision of the life we wish to live, yet still be flexible enough to move in the harmonious flow of the Universe. True mastery does not include domination of the natural flow of things, but determination, inspiration, and the ability to move harmoniously in the direction of our highest purpose. Once we understand our personal purpose and meaning of existence, then everything else begins to flow. In the flow is where all of the magic happens.
