Stick or carrot?

The only question to ask to my desires is: "what is my motivation to do this?"

There is one right answer and many wrong ones.

The right answer: "to be more aware". Any other answer is wrong.

If I answer the right anwer, I am chasing the (right) carrot; if I answer wrongly, I am bound to be hit by the stick, now or eventually... and, thus, become more aware!

To be more aware means:
-expressing the attributes of God while existing in a physical, incarnate form;
-not denying myself or others the opportunity of that expression, knowing we are entitled to it;
-switching appropriately between expressions of wisdom, understanding, compassion, justice; skilfully using my aspirations, intellect, emotions, body...

Small wonder the unveiling of awareness is a lifelong enterprise!
