Living Life the Right Direction

Leo Horoscope this week from Rob Brezsny

It's a perfect time to work more intensely on cultivating a healthy relationship between money and your soul. For inspiration, read this wise counsel, articulated by Margaret Young and quoted in Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. "Many people attempt to live their lives backwards. They try to have more money in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."

apropos, said Kant, according to Kristina.

Thinking yesterday about the philosopher Descartes conclusion - "Cogito ergo sum"

How he got it backwards too.  "I think, therefore I am."

The yogis would say, "I am, therefore I think."

"Drop the thinking mind," Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati often reminds me.

If Descartes' idea could be looked through and into thoroughly, perhaps one would end up studying the Bhagavad Gita at Ananda Ashram.
