See things as they are

Most people do not see things as they are.  Rather, they see things as they are.  This reminds you that your thinking and judgment shape your perception.  Thoughts you identify with take shape as your ego.  In truth, you are not the thought, but the awareness.  Until you reach a stage where you consciously work through the veils, that is, transcend the negativity, then your life is grounded in selective perception.  You create a world and can step outside of it. Free yourself from thought and you awaken to free self from ego control. 

In a nutshell, why believe the lies that ego produces?   Get out of the mind and realize problems are self-generated.  Comparisons are ego devices.  Living according to an image or a label prompts you to be more unconscious rather than awake.  Be present, natural.  Live free of images or labels to tell you who you are.  Observe defensiveness within you.  Who you are cannot be attacked, needs no defences, no proof.  Whenever you grow defensive, this reveals you identify with an illusion.  The real you exists beyond it all.

Liara,
It is so easy to live the illusion, yet it is living the illusion which causes all of the angst in our life. When we let go of the illusion that we are separate and live from our authentic being we remove the frustrations and the need to defend. Thanks for this.

Dandy, you invite into your scope of awareness precisely what you are ready to experience. The inner knowing is always accessible. Any teacher is ultimately a reflection of your deepest self, that which only knows unconditional love and unwavering self acceptance. This is what sees things as they are.

Mark, from the moment a person recognizes a habit, that habit no longer exists. From the moment a person realizes illusions exist and the nature of illusions is created in the mind, one begins to see through what is not real. As you notice, defensiveness is just another illusion that fades away.

Hi Liara .. be yourself .. be no-one else .. be natural and be present .. thank you - Hilary

Hilary, to be you is to accept everything about yourself and others unconditionally. Know there is no such thing as struggle unless you imagine it into being. You resist what is or not. Change is an evolutionary process. When cyclic events present, then you resist currents that are timeless teachers.
