Tibetan Prayer Flags

The super colourful prayer flags of Bylakuppe have just stayed in mind, and it set off this train of thought............. that life is lived in the spectrum of colour and not in the black or white, and definitely not in the shades of gray (And no....I'm not talking E L James here :) )

It's all about what's in the happening zone......the spectrum

Doesn't just looking at pretty colours give out that momentary positive vibe? That's the primary basis for the Tibetan flags apparently. Letting the positive energy from the colours and the Buddhist mantras written on the flags flow gently with the winds, to impact all those who pass through. Sweet huh?

A random flow of thought from there:

Us, our nature, our personality, our attributes....... they're a spectrum, with all the myriad shades and combinations possible, and that's what makes people so fascinating. Every attribute and facet exists in shades and layers...... some more, some less......some core, some peripheral.......some rigid, some malleable.

And we need to wade through this maze if we want to empower ourselves through awareness....... of the self, of the other ........to figure out what works, what doesn't....... what's worth aspiring to and what's for dumping.

To use anecdote; when I was talking to a friend about somebody being manipulative or negative, this friend was like..... 'you really have no right to talk about someone like that, do you think you have no element of manipulative or negative in you'. It kind of stumped me for a bit. It's technically correct....everything exists in everyone. The Yin and Yang. Sure, that's an undeniable fact.

But it's not black and white.....it's a spectrum !!!!

And there's all kinds of things and all kinds of people out there, so an opinion fits. 

Not to judge; lets leave that to God. No right or wrong....no good or bad......but to know what energizes one vs what saps one......what's acceptable to one vs what's not....

It enables an effort towards an optimum positive zone

Like in the 'What Brings You Pleasure'.....you know what gives you pleasure and what doesn't......so also what works for you and what doesn't. Use the awareness to open out the consciousness to more joy and more positive :)
