Daily Question, December 27

What is truly essential to me?

  • Ose

    My friends and loved ones are. To love.

  • Maeve

    To have daily physical and mental health and strength.
    To have people and family I can love and who care for and love me.
    To have work that is interesting, enjoyable and where I make a difference.
    To have joy and humor in my life.
    To love, cherish and care for the natural world.

  • Malag

    The rule of threes springs to mind. I can go 3 minutes without air; 3 hours without shelter (in a harsh environment); 3 days without water; 3 weeks without food. But that’s not a whole lot of use without good company.

  • Brian

    A truly challenging question! I am quite dependent upon a fair amount of infrastructure and machinery simply to obtain and manage many fundamental essentials and conventional (assumed) comforts. Are they truly essential to me? Upon reflection, many are. So, what is truly essential to me is the creative power of humanity, past, present, and future.

  • Barb C

    Love and connection.

    a) Companionship
    I sometimes can be wary of getting close to people, and so I spend a lot of time with pets, but I have found that when I do give people a chance, they are certainly worth it.

    b) Stimulation & Accomplishment
    I really enjoy reading and researching. I feel more accomplished when I spent the day reading a new book, or when I spend the day completing a project.

  • MEG

    to Do my best in the here and now, to Be all I can to Love fully.

  • CLP

    Sleep. I am realizing that without adequate sleep ( like 8 plus hours) everything just comes apart at the seams. I think I have been in denial about this.

    • Holly in Ohio

      In a way, it is good news, because once you are getting good sleep, you will find other things settle into place. I wish you good sleep, CLP, tonight and each night. 🌷

      • CLP

        Thank you Holly! I hope you have great sleep too!

  • Linda

    My family and friends are truly essential. I am grateful every day for them.

  • Anonymous

    Trust is everything and Love is everywhere.

    “Have enough courage to TRUST LOVE one more time and always one more time.”

  • Don Jones

    The Truth. There is only one. That means seeing.

  • dcdeb

    Having the support of good people around me. Having a decent amount of money and resources.

  • pkr

  • Marnie Jackson

    Taking care of me…..
    Connections to my family…
    Feeling like I am making a difference….

  • JayJacks

    Meditation is essential to me. It serves two primary purposes in my daily practice:1. To see the truth and have a better understanding of my true purpose.
    2. For detaching oneself from the cycle of craving that produces dukkha.

  • Mary Pat

    To be filled with Loving Presence and held in Loving Presence. It’s the meditation I did this morning, and seems to fit…

    So long as I have to be a Human Form? OK then the two who administer to my breathing,( the intake of Life-Light etheric vitality ) namely, The Holy Spirit and the Archangel Sha-ta- Al .

    So long as I have to be a Human Form? OK then the two who administer to my breathing,( the intake of Life-Light etheric vitality ) namely, The Holy Spirit and the Archangel Sha-ta- Al . Without their constant vigilance and perfect attendance to my BE-ing-ness I would not have this Vehicle ( called a body ) to experience Life, Love, Light, in every combination far beyond the little the intellect can grasp.

    { Further explanation……”Behind us, closer than the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, there stands another Archangel. Apart from our Guardian Archangel, He has descended with us, accompanies us, is ever standing near us, and will stay with us until our return to Theosis. He accompanies us to the entrances and exits in all our incarnations. In the old Egyptian language of the Hierophants He is called Sa-Ta-AL. Sa means Truth, Ta stands for giving abundantly or expressing and AL is the Absolute BE-ingness in Its Will-Pleasure to manifest Itself in Itself. ”

    Consequently, Sa-Ta-AL means the ample expression of the Almighty as Truth. ]
