 People desire to gain insight into what creates a more meaningful life.  They are becoming more concerned with things that did not capture their attention before.  Its part of the lesson of opening your mind to stages of awakening.

Sensing the world as you do, it is easy to get excited about what could happen, about what you could make happen.  All of that is fine and good, but until you realize what it means to be right where you are, then going beyod that is hard to fathom.

Since you exist and are chomping at the bit, so to speak, then you may as well take advantage.  You may not grasp how you got here, but do not fret.  Thinking without awareness may well be the key dilemma of human existence.  As you shift to gain bearings, consider eight ways to evaluate your current state;

1) Learn to sense the possibility of illusions.  To become aware something is not real is a way to dissolve its hold over your attention.  Energy becomes available for other purposes.

2) Realize your reality reflects your illusions.  You come to derive a sense of identity based partly on opinions and labels of yourself.   Its possible to move to see through it.

3) Accept a voice within you. Some people decide to ignore their inner voice. They may think hearing voices is pure madness. They may hardly notice or, defray it to background as a distraction. This denies value in the unobserved mind.

4) Observe how you form thoughts.  Notice how your views are conditioned by a sense of the past.  If you hurt yourself in certain ways before, then your mind may assume history will repeat.  Your expectations are based on what you think you know and how you have trained your mind to believe.

5) Humble yourself.  This may come as a surprise, but you do not know everything on a conscious level. Part of you is working hard to convince you of certain lies.  Lower yourself.  Rediscover the feeling of insignificance.  Character builds by tapping into your inner wisdom and power.  Sense it in silence.
