Feel the love that is

The more you let go, the more love actually reveals itself to and through everything.  It demands nothing, needs nothing and is, in essence, nothing you can pin down. It is like the gift of feeling peace and contentment or the presence of life itself.  Recognize the sun rises and sets the same way everywhere. The only difference is what you see.

Similarly, consider how you tell when night ends and morning begins. One perspective is light and darkness exist in the same moment.  The focus of your attention is based on what you are ready and willing to accept, that is love and accept the essence of being fully or remain shrouded in fear and doubt. You observe difference or sameness, focus on separation (and difference)or unity. From the moment you look into the eyes of another and see the reflection of God or spirit, then dawn breaks. Unconditional love arises and it has no opposite. It is what it is.  Silence takes over to play its own tune.

"Most humans, I've noticed, are trying to figure out what's wrong and then change it. The truth is, if we become comfortable with who we are rather than who we think we should be, then we will be less insecure."  -Daniel Gottlieb

The truth has many faces

What you see is only ever yourself in different forms. You love and accept everything equally or dislike and reject certain things that reveal you do not yet love yourself fully. Hearing this, you may notice degrees of acceptance or resistance and think you have unanswered questions. How does it feel to know you always find what you seek but do not always accept it?  Watch how what you are living transforms before the senses.  Notice the opportunities that emerge in your life.

Consider the truth has many faces.  At any moment, you see the version of the truth you desire.  Until you see through illusion, you do not see things as they are, you see things as you are. As you begin to notice you do not always act in your best interests, you may begin to focus on particular life questions.  The truth according to whom? The best interests according to whom?

Notice why you actually want something. Identify it. Why would you separate from that which you want or tell yourself that you must struggle to get it? If you think you lack anything, its because you forget that the identity you create and reinforce is not real. Notice experience changes as you shift focus of attention from doubt to certainty.  What underlies it all?

As you journey into the heart, you return to innocence. True self is forever present.  Separation from the ultimate truth of who you are is impossible.  Any restlessness or discomfort you feel is an illusion you create to pinch off from what never leaves you. This is another wake up call.

"Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it." -Jewel

Allow simplicity to speak

The essence of being is unlimited energy. The human is the part of being conditioned to focus on limitations and seek that which cannot be found.  That which is aware through the human part is always here, yet the human mind has you believing what you want most is outside of you.  Notice what happens as you consciously love and appreciate yourself in thought, feeling, all expression.  You feel more alive.  You accept all perceptions and recognize each one invites you to embrace simplicity.  Allow the truth to reveal itself.  Everything you do and do not points toward that which you are.  Notice what is irrelevant falls away as you shift attention away.  Nothing remains.

"If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." -Mark Twain

Take what is given

Everything is present now.  To want more or assume something is missing, is to block what is already given. In essence, you imagine barriers that block the truth of who you are.  You selectively forget.  The mind gets focused on its own dualistic ideas, beliefs and perceptions that come to shape what you see. You are conditioned to view yourself as separate from all others. The more you narrow and compare individual views, the more of reality beyond it is cut off. Instead of taking, you resist what is given

All-the-while, something within longs you to heal any sense of difference. Through the lens of divine love, all is one. Spirit is never confined as mind believes. As you let go of the part of the mind that craves, newer, better, different, or extraordinary experiences, the simple and ordinary are illuminated. Peace and contentment unveil themselves as constant companions. Awareness speaks. Nothing seen through filters has meaning.

"Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health." -George Herbert

Notice the natural intention

The mind would have you believe that there is such a thing as a natural intention.  Notice the origin of intention.  Recognize the nature of conditioning.  Feel how the heart responds. 

Amidst the apparent hustle bustle in the external world, stillness is present and aware.  It allows you to see through a lens of timeless observation and touch the soul. You notice the ideas, the body, self-view and noise that capture your attention, do not look the same. Feel how you are the energy that flows intuitively through beliefs and emotions without intellectual purpose.

In essence, divine grace is present. A natural or cosmic intention exists.  This is not the same as the intention conceived by the human mind. Allow the truth to reveal itself. Align with what triggers uplifting awareness.  You open up to expand into more than the mind can chew. Who is the seer of it all? Be the Dream then awaken.  Be the directionless point with no boundaries.

"I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening." -Mariel Hemingway
