SWEET DOING NOTHING

SWEET DOING NOTHING

On inner balance and efficient movement, or inner peace and outer initiation.

 

Staying in the South of France brings to life the southern French pace in everything, even in the flow of thought. No one is in a hurry here. History enabled this beautiful corner of the Earth to create without destruction for several centuries. This is what has brought peace here: thousand-year-old temples, centuries-old cedar forests, 100-year-old hotels, service and traditions of the resort, finely honed for the last couple of centuries. These factors transformed Côte d'Azur into a territory for a relaxed and measured life with high standards and a calm pace in everything. Italians who are the experts in the taste of life, describe this way of living as sweet doing nothing (Dolce far niente).

 

For many years this state was inaccessible to me. I could neither understand nor apprehend it. That was the awareness that brought me clarity, it has been manifesting through me more clearly in the last few years. I finally got the basic principle of the Italian proverb: the balance of life. Sweet doing nothing does not mean doing anything physically. It does not hint at lying in front of the TV with an empty head. Doing nothing in Italian means a state of inner non-tension, relaxation, and peace, letting go of the thoughts and control.

 

Sweet doing nothing does not mean idleness. External physical processes, with the inner non-tension, can and should be initiated, organized and implemented by us for creative purposes. Otherwise, how could Italy have given the world so much creativity, manifested in fine art, music, architecture? It could not have given all of these. But it actually gave and continues to give now. It means that the rule of the inner sweet doing nothing is balanced by an external initiative.

 

This is how the duality principle manifests itself in our reality, and it is especially well traced in the 21st century. This is how the balance of the inner and outer worlds manifests itself. To achieve this balance, you must first find a bridge connecting these two inseparable worlds. Such bridges are spiritual or relaxing practices, meditations, yoga, new thinking and attitude to life, new trend forms of organizing working processes and time-management. This bridge is also the new forms of collective interaction in the 21st century, especially the ones that are developing through social networks, co-working, co- living and international communities based on the principle of a conscious approach to oneself.

 

We can acknowledge that all this is a reality of the 21st century, but on the contrary, there is not really anything new in this manifestation, international communities have always been emerging, evolution has never stopped. But here is a core difference between the same processes before and after the beginning of a new millennium. It is in the concept of Awareness. Intuitively every person has constantly been searching and continues to look for a balancing moment in himself. With the coming of a new century and the beginning of the N.E.O.TIME, this process has moved to a conscious plateau. People with an awakened awareness, or N.E.O.PEOPLE, consciously comprehend the ancient rule of sweet doing nothing, consciously seek a bridge for uniting inner peace and external initiation, consciously strive for a balancing moment. This is a different quality of life, another reality, bringing new rules of the game to our Planet.

 

You do not need to be aware of it, think about it or disagree with it. Like any physical aspect, the reality of coming of the N.E.O.LIFE to the Earth does not depend on the opinion on the issue. But in fact, it would be great to understand and accept the fact that the wind has actually changed. And there is no more need to exert yourself and hit the oars, the wind is in the sails now! We are all here and now. It is enough to realize this. And then you can afford yourself a new pace and quality of life: the sweet inner doing nothing and the daily life filled with a creative initiative. Together they know how to create the reality of high efficiency with no fuss and stress.

 

All of us are extremely lucky: we live in the N.E.O.TIME.
