Notice what is obvious

Notice what is obvious and "to whom".  Notice who is asking the question and who answers.

The ego mind has limited or selective awareness.  It sees the dream through conditioned filters.  It shifts attention between the past and future.  It judges and compares, sees body parts, people and conditions as separate, and even creates hierarchies of what is thought to be better or worse, more or less desirable.  This is the rebel, fault-finder and people-pleaser, always seeking to improve or find something out of reach or sight.  It attaches or clings and sees things as you are or through the lens of adopted thought, self-image and beliefs.

The omniscient observer sees all and judges nothing right in this very moment. It views through a lens of unconditional love and acceptance. It views everything as a mirror of pure peace, joy and love. In essence, it see things as they are, and feels everything points to this truth. It feels what is real and sees through what is unreal. It is the silent and ever-present guide home.  It knows clarity and enlightenment are never lost. It knows the essence of being cannot lose itself or be anything other than authentic. It is light, joy, freedom and all that direct experience reveals beyond words and associations. It only sees what it feels.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience." -Pierre Tielhard de Chardin

Notice being here

Notice how it feels to be fully present.  Notice to what (if anything) you give your full and complete attention at this stage of your life.  How does it feel? What is the core message?

Consider how you are conditioned to multitask, to only partly listen or partially hear what is being spoken to you, only partly notice signs from your own body, mind and spirit.  Which lessons emerge from not fully listening? from not being conscious in a given situation?  Notice every experience serves you and self-concern until awareness shifts. Feel what resonates now.

"Few people can say:I am here.  They look for themselves in the past or see themselves in the future." -Georges Braque

Let go of what is not you

Notice what happens as you let go of what is familliar, palpable and predictable.  Notice what urges you to cling and attach.  Notice what or whom captures your unwavering attention at this stage.  Silence and nothing actually speak loudest without the use of words.  Notice what is real and to whom.  Listen to that which has no name, revealing itself as ever-present.  Let go of what is not you.  Be still.  Feel the nature of balance.  Sense underlying meaning in all questions.

"You can only lose what you cling to." -Buddha

Treasure is here and now

Notice the mind has you focus attention anywhere but the present moment.  The mind tells you that what you want is within reach, is something to work toward.  Yet it distracts you from the gift of being.  Direct experience offers treasures found in the pocket and heart. 

What happens as you recognize the ultimate gift is being who you are right now? There is nobody to blame. Forgiveness is unnecessary. Nothing is required for loving and appreciating the priceless treasure that is.  The essence of being knows nobody judges you but yourself. Watch what happens as you do not identify with anything. Unlearn, let go and be.  Harmony with divine nature and true presence already are. 

"Every problem has a gift for you in its hands." - Richard Bach

Stop waiting & truly see

Notice how you hijack your own attention and in doing so, drain your energy.  When you believe you have to wait for something to change, your focus cannot be fully in this now.  What happens from the moment you recognize your mind only ever thinks it has to catch up with an imagined vision of a balanced and fulfilled state of being? 

Notice how easy it is to get caught in webs of thought that invite you to re-examine, set goals, focus on waiting for events to happen, or or get somewhere. Notice it is never too late to shift focus.  Ease into the state of being forever present. You are this gift.

From the moment you shift your complete attention to this moment, notice what happens.  Something and nothing is waiting.  You have the impression you move from 'here to here.'  Thinking stops.  Sensations are unleashed and then revelations unfold faster than the speed of light, time and space.  Where is everybody?  As you see and recognize yourself as it is, things are no longer as they appear. True nature of everything is equal and revealing itself every instant to anyone ready and willing to see.

"Whatever you bring into this aware nothingness, whatever presents itself, frees itself." -Adyashanti
