What are you right now?

The human part of you plans and questions. It constructs belief systems and perceptions grounded in the past and future and invites you to focus there. The mind prompts you to act, to do and become. How can you let go of who you think you are?

Being is perfectly content. It has no plans. It does no judge. It has no ambitions or judgments. It does not seek to understand. The feeling of joyful knowing arises naturally.  It is the recognition nothing can control you and you control nothing.  You have all control without controlling everything.  It exists in the present moment.

What happens as you awaken as a 'human- being?' You shift focus of attention and see everything from expanding vantage points.  You revert to innocence and no longer exert effort to be untrue to what is. You no longer believe but know. A connection to wholeness never leaves you.  The love, freedom, presence is all right here.  What are you right now?

This is lovely...a lovely thought. I wonder why this state of being seems so easy for some to achieve, and an endless pursuit for others - like me. :)

I'm a natural born "planner". Planning has helped me achieved so very much...For example, when I was working full time and raising two little children, without planning, my life (and household! LOL) would have been chaotic and less functional. I "Feel" better with a plan.

Even in my free time, planning acts like the blueprint for creating my dreams....Is this just a matter of semantics?

I understand how one can let go of plans and just be - when they don't have to report to work by...what advise can you give those of us who appear to function better with a plan?

Grace, nothing is good, bad or wrong unless you judge it to be so. Planning is not a thing to escape or give up impulsively. It offers insight into thoughts, patterns, feelings and expectations. Different motives exist. You are free and decide if something is going to control you, if you are going to do it more consciously or outgrow the perceived need. If you act to give up planning, reflect on why it does not work. Any personal effort to let go of who you think you are (what you identify with) does not succeed. Why? Resistance and fear. Consider how planning feels when motivated by mind-based desire to control. Consider how planning feels when inspired by heartfelt love and a knowing that all is well. When attention is focused on ego- mind, you notice it interprets what you are doing and what you have to do. Your behaviour reflects beliefs that are grounded in experience of the past and fear about the future. The being that is exists in the present and is fearless. See what happens as you recognize why you do the things you do.
