Joy is a stepping stone

2013-05-20T09:24:58Z

As you nurture faith, joy can arise. Trust the universe, come what may, and joy is all that is felt. Suddenly, you know that whatever you need presents in your life without openly asking for it. When you ask for things, you simply postpone experience that is here when you are receptive.

A joyful feeling of self-respect or good conscience is a stepping stone to deeper happiness and fuller concentration on what is real. Notice that to focus on what feels good, on what reflects balance and harmony, is deeply calming. Focusing on what does not appear to be going smoothly evokes a sense that something needs fixing or improving, and you take steps to make it happen. In this case, effort appears to be a stepping stone to joy that you tell yourself is within reach.

Notice what bliss feels like. The deeper the focus on joy, the clearer the insight that arises.

Let go of what is important

2013-05-16T04:10:13Z

Enjoyed engaging interactions with Stevn Hairfield and special guest Jeff Daugherty on Insight Radio. Access the archives to listen to the May 15/16 show. Feedback is always appreciated.

In this particular program, Jeff offers his own compelling story about what caused him to wake up, see his behaviour and life in a whole new way. He shares how direct experience enables each of us to explore the power of ego to control us and what it is to let go of all we think is important. He reflects on his resistance to certain attachments, ambitious professional roles and lifestyle, and how he now feels born again, and all his experiences makes him who is his right now. Losing what he thought was important enables him to see the world and his place in it with new eyes.

Whether life-changing revelations are triggered by relationship break-ups, environmental disasters, health concerns, work-related crises or something else, the universal message is clear: Move from self-centred to soul- centred living. Nothing is hard unless you believe it is. The underlying question is, why allow things to escalate to where crisis is what you require to see?

The irony and blessing is that what the ego thinks matters temporarily hides who we really are. The unreal life that temporarily engages our attention can be very convincing. However, the real is ever-present and cannot die. It is part of an individual journey to forget how to feel what is right, and also an option for each person to shift back from ego-based thinking to heartfelt or authentic living. You may be taught to over-complicate what is simple, but whatever it takes, the universe brings you to a point where you are invited to trust your own feelings more. The more you trust in the unknown, the more the universe gives you reason to trust life. Honouring this is easy. Live from the heart a new kind of purpose-driven life. Lick your finger to feel the wind direction. Go with it. Shift from doing to being. Be aware and love who you choose to be.

Find the perfect way

2013-05-13T00:40:32Z

Every moment offers opportunities to make the most of where you are and what is unfolding. Discover works of art within yourself you never knew existed. Imagine you are a potter or a painter with a store of masterpieces. Each inner quality is like a masterpiece that wants to get noticed. Yet, the moment it exerts effort to be noticed, the recognition received holds no value.

As you begin to realize everything and everyone has innate value, you can sit next to anyone and be loyal to what is lost and what is found within yourself. This can be a colleague, a friend, a co-worker or even a stranger at a bus-stop. Listen with respect to what the person says. Be aware of pointers to what is left unsaid. Say what the person wishes to hear in a way that conveys what you wish to say. You both get what you need out of the interaction. When mutual understanding exists, people do not impose ideas. Rather, each person finds the perfect way along the path.

Get back on track

2013-05-08T07:37:52Z

Notice when you give your undivided attention to something. Notice how often this happens. You likely notice your attention is dissipated on many things. What message are you sending to yourself when multi-tasking does not bring balance, when you cannot recall who said what?

When the mind is focused on one thing, and you are physically engaged in something else, this brings trouble. Notice how it feels to be talking to someone who is not focused on your words. Many people get emotional without clarity of thought. People can also think things without being aware of how they feel. Mental imbalance hinders the ability to fully engage and focus.

Distractions may seem like a normal part of life. Its easy to see disconnected thoughts and feelings in others. Yet, is it as easy to see in yourself? It may be time for more than one person to get back on track. How you communicate with others and how they interact with you are pointing to what you can do to strengthen communication and relationships. Notice what you get absorbed in, and how your behaviours and the behaviours of others are actually helping you.

Live the truth of yourself

2013-05-02T06:22:37Z

Live the truth of yourself. Who you truly are exists beyond all your illusions and fear. Humans create mental barriers to block seeing true self. Fear is warden of this imaginary prison.

Know everyone is a messenger bringing self a message from the heart and soul. May you recognize the soulful message of loving kindness. Share who you are in all you do and do not do, all you say and all you do not say. Be aware of all you are and always have been, all you will forever be. Every thought you create, every choice you make, either conceals the love you are or expands on it. Notice how it feels to be aware that every being, all things, are divine.

Rediscover true nature & freedom

2013-04-12T08:57:20Z

Many people experience what they feel is significant personal loss and instinctively begin to search for spiritual comfort and understanding. Finding meaning in suffering and change is part of the spiritual journey. As you are no longer controlled by thoughts and emotions, you no longer identify with them. This brings release. As you begin to see through illusion, let go of what is not real, true spiritual nature reveals itself. Be willing to die inside to feel reborn. Each time you let go of an ego delusion, an initially obscured spiritual quality or ability, arises into conscious awareness. Rediscover true nature and freedom. It is only ever a breath away.

Experience this timeless moment

2013-04-08T00:21:45Z

Pay attention. Notice how time controls you and how you can experience timelessness. Some people stop wearing a watch or consciously shift focus of attention. Know time does not have to control or define you. Notice time only shapes and limits your life, if you allow it. You are not at the end of a process. You are the process, the original force of cosmic explosions, unfolding and expanding forever. You are the energy of the universe beyond definition.

To truly start to see things as they are, go into them. Be them. Feel what vision is as Soul. See the brilliant light of the cosmos in everything. You evoke light in it all. BEing who you are, you call into being the light of everything. Be the timeless light.

What is this all about

2013-04-03T01:24:07Z

Whatever you experience in this moment is you. Who you are is the unknown. All you can know about your true essence is that it is here. This is a direct reality experience. To recognize you are the unknown is to allow yourself to experience the joy of being in all you do. Reflect on what is feels like to experience be yourself. This is what being with life is. Experience this moment as it actually is. There is no identity, simply wholeness. When you are love, you are one with all. You see love in everything. The willingness to experience is the willingness to be the love you think you are seeking.

Feel what it is to be truly alive

2013-03-27T10:44:54Z

Every moment invites you to find fun and light-heartedness in whatever is happening. Feel your way into what enables you to be truly alive. Let the soul be your pilot. Imagine no limitations, no doubt. Tickle yourself, crack a smile, come what may.

Be aware that as you let go of pockets of resistance, what you dream arises instantly. You are all that stands in the way of not loving every moment to the fullest. Be bold, daring. Discover what is beyond your wildest imagination. This is an open invitation.

Get the message

2013-03-23T10:24:30Z

Every person you encounter is drawing your attention to something you are not yet noticing about yourself. You may be in a plane, train, taxi, bus or some other mode of transport. You may meet in passing at the local library or bookstore, be sitting in a park, or you may be out walking your pet. Revelations arise as you stand in line waiting to be served and you chat with strangers. You may be sitting next to another parent at your child's sports event. Nothing is ever random. Everything and everyone is a pointer. Notice what is emerging through each encounter. You create them all to help yourself. Notice what you see, feel and experience.

Be aware each encounter is a guide and mirror. See the appropriateness of them. Every choice you make has a purpose. You decide what matters. You decide how the guidance unfolds in your life; in passing, triggering eureka moments, evolving into intimacy, friendships or connecting with temporary or lifelong mentors. Each one is a window. Retreat into your own natural stillness. Get the message you reach for right now.
