Each of us
human beings is a cookie palace. There are several cookies that we are made of.
One cookie
is the food we eat. The food we eat becomes our body. Another cookie is
thoughts we think and the beliefs we harness. Remember to cultivate
self-empowering beliefs and remove the weeds of self-limiting ones.
The next
cookie is the emotions we feel. If we feel happy and loved, it has an
altogether different effect on our system than when we feel self-pity or
bitterness. There are a whole lot of sciences dedicated to blossoming the
positive scale emotions and minimizing the negative scale emotions. The
positive scale emotions consist of love, joy, happiness, playfulness and
wonder, while the negative scale emotions consist of jealousy, gossip,
comparison, resentment, hatred and the like. Cookies are meant to be sweet
after all, aren’t they? So do we humans are meant for, for being sweet and cute
and wondrous…
Beyond our
thoughts and emotions what matters the most is the material of which the
cookies of our cookie palace are made of. The dough of consciousness needs to
be kneaded properly and the sugar of sweetness needs to be added in appropriate
amounts; add the nuts of spiritual knowledge and sprinkle the choco-chips of
liveliness. Bake the cookies neither too hot nor too cold.
Cookie
after cookie, we are born as cookie palaces – so fragile, yet so beautiful so
sophisticated. Through this cookie palace, we churn memories and create new
experiences. Our experiences reflect back to us the parts of our unconscious
that want to come to our attention, giving us a rebirth every moment, every now
and then.
Through our
cookie palace, we explore the world, and the sweeter cookies we build, the
sweeter we discover the life to be. If we cultivate bitterness, our life
experiences turn out to be bitter too.
These
cookie palaces wander around the round-round world, collecting memories and connecting
with other cookie palaces.
Each one of
us has our own cookie palace. If you simply take a moment to just observe the
human life, you’ll notice how funny, wobbiy and weird are we. We move around
the world searching for something, discovering something, searching something
else; we keep on moving and interacting and acting in ways that is more
interesting than the most interesting movie characters.
A grand
drama is going on in which we crazy little cookie palaces play our own strange
characters. We become fearful, we become joyful, we become sad and we become
ecstatic. And so the life goes on…
During all
this activity, the excitement happens when we step away from our own cookie
palace and look at ourselves as the dough that connects all the teeny-weeny and
giant cookie palaces. A butterfly, a tree, a cow, an apple, a table and all of
it.
I am a
cookie palace, but this cookie palace keeps on changing – shaping and
reshaping, so I can also say that I am the dough of which the cookie palace is
made of. I am the dough of which all the cookies are made of. And all the
cookies reflect back to me the taste of the dough.
Thoughts
are cookies and dough is consciousness. I am the power of life which transforms
dough into cookies. I am a cookie palace, I am the cookie, I am the dough and I
am the hand which converts dough into cookies and cookies into cookie palace.
Love from
one cookie palace to the other!
