There are stability, balance, harmony, rhythm and flow. Which implies that there are also instability, imbalance, disharmony, chaos and disorder. Our place as conscious human beings is to maintain order by being aware of the destabilizing forces at work in each situation as it arises and make routine and regular returns to emptiness, stillness and silence, where we take inventory and open ourselves to what’s what and what is called for here, now, so as to do what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs to be done throughout each day.

With practice this becomes second-nature and is what I am sure Jesus was talking about when he said “Pray always,” in that prayer puts us in synch with the events and circumstances of our life and places us in the position to respond appropriately to every situation as it arises, and prayer and awareness and appropriate response are one thing, not three, and the three terms are interchangeable and synonymous. And they are essential for maintaining stability, etc. throughout our life. Which is what meditation does for those who meditate, putting us in accord with Psyche/Tao, moment to moment, day by day, so that we are able to do the right thing in the right way at the right time in the right place throughout the days, weeks, months, years that make up our life. No?
