The proof is in the pudding

You may hear the proof of the pudding is in the eating.  Yet, you only truly know the taste of anything as you put it on your own palatte.  Then, the body begins to recognize texture, sensations, and vibes on a deeper level. Each flavour is unique and bursting with a story.

In other words, to fully appreciate something, you have to experience it directly yourself.  You can assume you have the same taste preferences as someone else, but this is not the same as tickling your own tastebuds or savouring something again, as if for the first time. 

Notice how opinions are created based on heresay.  Notice the actual reasons you agree or disagree with someone.  So long as ego drives you, it has something to prove, so you speak up. From the moment you experience peace and contentment, questions are answered as they arise.  Peace is felt by everyone in your presence.  There is no need to say anything.

On another level, to fully appreciate this moment, you are invited to stop comparing it with memories of other experiences.  You are invited to stop judging and assuming history has to repeat.  As every moment feels new and fresh, you are allowing life and energy to flow freely without doubt or fear.  This allows feelings of joy, peace and freedom to reveal themselves.  Paths you think you have trodden, places you think you have been, never feel the same again.

Hi Liara .. it's important to take things with a pinch of salt, and to look at both sides of the coin .. or as many sides as it has - life changes all the time ... we rarely know the full facts - as you say I need to be there to appreciate the situation and life at hand. Cheers Hilary

Dre, as you raise awareness, you allow conscious recognition of what is happening as your beliefs and judgment kick in. To observe them enables you to see through them.

Hilary, perspective evolves based on how deeply you engage in a situation through body, mind and spirit. Simply taking someone else's opinion of what is happening is not allowing yourself to feel what its like to be present and aware. However, you can be physically present in a place, and still be oblivious of why you think and feel as you do. You can close the eyes, quiet the mind anywhere and allow "seeing" things as they are.
