Good Luck It seems that Ive heard this thousands of times through this walk so far, and it was not so many years ago that these words regularly proceeded forth from these lips as well. Of course the funny thing is that luck does not exist on any level. The concept of luck streams forth due to random awareness which presents the impression that events are unconnected. This, along with many other phrases, is part of a habit that we form, it becomes part of our character and is so deeply embedded it just springs forth, as if its alive. We may say that it is a hole filler of the mind. An unconscious and meaningless answer to the question that used to be asked, what do I say now?. But, once it is a part of our character, this question is no longer asked. Through awareness of what we say we begin to come alive, to wake up from the boring repetitive dream that has seemed to dominate our existence so long. How often do we hear something truly meaningful, truly beneficial, in normal conversation? How often do we say something that is such? Something that is truly intended for the benefit of another, not just from our minds conditioning or to show the other how much we know, or to tell them a story about when something just like that happened to us? If we stop for a moment and dont rush to fill in the hole, perhaps we can say, be aware. This can be beneficial as it is a reminder to both us and the one that we talk with that we have control of our character, not some magic power called luck. Or we could say something which relates personally or even ask a question. Or say thank you, or say nothing and just provide our most loving smile? Let us be aware. Let us know that, whatever we are in front of, at any moment, that we may provide benefit through thought, word or deed. Or just by completely accepting and loving. So, here and now in this moment, I remind you that there is no luck. We may strike it from our thoughts and vocabulary. We may be empowered, we may be aware. We have the power! I love you, thank you!! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
