Each path is equally noble

2010-07-30T00:52:52Z

While in the process of awakening, you may question which choices are more noble. As you move beyond the inner judge, you realize that all paths have consequences, much like every cause has an effect. No experience is actually better than any other. Each one simply offers its own insight about being a master.

Imagine that you are always being nudged to accept the mastery within. Whenever you ponder your destiny, you forget that at a given moment, all choices you make are the right ones. All feelings you allow to flow are part of a process. You are invited to open, accept and surrender to the elements of existence.

Mindfulness serves you

2010-07-29T00:12:37Z

Choices actually do not harm you. Being unaware of the thinking process behind your choices or being selectively aware of the consequences, does not serve you. You may ask then, what truly serves you?

Many people are materially-wealthy but crave time. How often do you question or reflect rather than follow the norm? When it comes to happiness, how do you measure it, how much do you want or need? Contemplate the extent of your own short-sightedness. Which choices serve you and which do not? When you want things, do you honestly feel satisfied? The wealthy are those who make time for each other, who create a loving quality of life. Peace, contentment, compassion, generosity, are immeasurable. To want for nothing is a most wonderful feeling. As you align with timeless peace in the heart, share it with the world.

Give yourself permission to go

2010-07-27T23:46:50Z

You know the core directions. Yet, sometimes you lose your sense of direction. Mind convinces you that you are doing just fine even when in truth, you feel disoriented. Ever choose a direction because it feels upwards or downwards? or other people people are choosing it? or it enables you to feel challenged?

Notice what brings you out of darkness, out of the mist. Remember to trust deeper states of being. What if you choose the path that enables you to feel more serenity, harmony and freedom? Each moment you liberate self from the past, from pain, you align with inner joy, recall stillness. You allow self to be there. You find all you seek in the heart. You feel it. Being gentle and compassionate overcomes inner resistance. Meditate not to get things but to remember how to let things go. You feel healthy and free.

Notice & heal the division

2010-07-27T08:40:08Z

Much of your identity emerges from standing against something or standing for something other than who you are. What if you only ever try to escape from your true self? Notice and heal the division within. Punishment is not the way to go. Instead, choose to awaken, forgive and learn. That's good karma.

Expand your options

2010-07-26T02:05:38Z

What if you do nothing, allow things to settle, and then reflect on how to respond where you are? Consider the power of mind creates worlds you exist in for extended periods. How does the mind shape choices?

From the moment you recognize the continuum of the mind has no beginning or end, you grow aware the sphere of consciousness and options available to you also have no limits. Problems are only heavy when you hold onto them. Any place you dislike or discomfort you feel, emprisons you. Notice that letting go of what you carry in mind opens infinite possibilities. The soul is an open door. Walk through when you like. Imagine feeling free and it is so. Why not expand options by giving freely and dropping expectations? Wisdom enables you to be at peace with life, in every circumstance. Reconnect with all that is now.

Undermine the delusions

2010-07-25T10:52:43Z

Consider states of mind thrive on negativity and control. Some people sense fear prompts one to control and perpetuate delusion. One discovers that to access the doorway to the heart requires a shift in focus.

What happens as you take off the pressure? How does it feel to realize you do not have to please anyone? As you empower others, you cease to judge and exert control. To judge indicates you have an ego that assesses and you do not understand truth. As you raise awareness, everything is unjudgable.

Why judge self? To be unconditionally aware reminds you how to be unconditionally kind, loving to self and others. You are free and have no reason to judge. People who free themselves do no harm and teach freedom to others. The less you control, the deeper you connect with the infinite joy, health and energy within. The effort to control others reminds you that you have an ego. To detach is to gradually vanish.

Beyond winners & losers

2010-07-24T02:06:30Z

Beyond the idea of winners and losers is the state of being of no judgment, of absolute contentement. Recall how that feels? The essence of soul never leaves. Consider how the external world you perceive reinforces ego and compels you to think you must be bigger, better, work harder, faster or achieve to distract you from being and accepting who you are. Why not stop comparing and Transform your life?

Enjoy the match

2010-07-23T00:31:44Z

What if you choose to enjoy the match and forget about the possibility of winning any game? What if you concentrate on experiencing fulfillment where you are and stop reaching for what always seems beyond you? Why not stop trying to be anything different than you are, stop struggling to get somewhere. Learn to let go of craving, wanting, striving. The end of suffering comes as you stop fighting and choose to be here now. To keep mind still energizes rather than drains you. Trust, allow peace and joy emerge from within.

Shrink the monster

2010-07-21T23:51:02Z

As you focus on the experience of feeling healthy, joyful and sharing that, you extend this state of being. When you focus on difficulties, you feed them, enabling them to grow. Every unkind thought, word or self-criticism gives the inner monster energy and power over you. Buddha calls them 'anger-eating demons.'

How would your life experience change if you treated situations or people that evoke discomfort with love and kindness? Imagine all the difficult people you encounter, those who mistreat you or trigger negative feelings. What do they teach? People are often unaware of what they do. Rather than get angry, why not view everything as a wonderful opportunity to laugh and grow? Then the world laughs with, not at you.

What if the most difficult person in life is actually you? In order to learn to live with people who push your buttons, it is first necessary to gain insight into and grow more accepting of your true essence. Then you realize how people relate to you does not always reflect how they truly feel. Notice what happens as you show compassion, appreciate everyone as they are. How you see shifts with your patience and kindness.

Remember how to stop being your own enemy. Relax. Accept who you are. Knowing the causes of being difficult enables you to recognize how to shrink the monster within. You come to reailze difficult people are projections of your own rejection. Suddenly, difficulty is a figment of your imagination. As you come to understand true self, then nothing and nobody are difficult. Be still and the source of irritation disappears.

Rely on the path

2010-07-20T23:07:31Z

To know your thoughts and emotions intimately enables you to weather any storm. When you live under the influence of afflictive emotions, you forget who you are. When you look for strength and trust outside self, you grow more afraid of illusions. In order to free the essence of being from the mind, it is necessary to understand and transcend afflictive emotions that you permit to control you. Awaken from the dream.

What enables you to realize new levels of awakening? How does life show you sources of pleasure also bring you insight into experience of pain and suffering? Why does heightened awareness serve you?
