"And This To Will Pass"

Par·a·digm shift:  What is a paradigm shirt anyway?   It is described as a fundamental change in your approach to underlying assumptions. 

We all make assumptions and they are usually based on how we understand the circumstances surrendering our lives or the lives of others.  Realities are often programed in our minds by these assumptions.   Some we create and others are created by the stories we are told.   A Par·a·digm shift you see, is something we all need to consider.  Especially when it comes to the Government of countries or to Religions and their dogma or doctrine.  To race, culture and sexuality.  

 

This story is about a wealthy and powerful King who could not find the peace and contentment in his life he so long for.   All his wealth and power did not seem to satisfy him so he sort the wisdom of a Spiritual Master who live in a nearby monastery.  I want you to tech me the peace and contentment you and your monks has been able to master said the King.  I am very wealthy and can pay you whatever the price.   I 'm sorry said the Master but there is not enough wealth in your kingdom to buy what you seek, nor is it something that can be taught.   I’m sorry but I cannot help you.  Sadly as the King turn to leave the Master said: “just a moment, return tomorrow and I will have something for you.

The next day the king arrived and this Spiritual Master gave him a small wooden box.  When the King opened the box it was a ring.  I don’t understand this gift Master.  Wear the ring for the rest of your life and when you feel your needs, wants or your emotions taking over, take the ring off your finger and read the inscription.  He look at the ring and the inscription read, “AND THIS TO WILL PASS”  Take the story's wisdom and use it at will.
