Overflow with new ideas

As a person evolves to discover a lack of perceptible fulfillment despite his achievements, that person realizes his quest is redirected.  Seeking something is not the same as finding it, relishing and sustaining it.  To begin to sense something within is out-of-balance is a step to re-aligning.

1) Think less and feel more.

2) Refine and sharpen your senses.

3) Learn to be fully attentive to every moment.

It is widely believed that you must become rich to be happy.  The kind of wealth that people generally seek is not the kind that serves them. How expensive or simple your desires affects everything. What are the treasures you already have?

One belief is that the secret to happiness does not depend on having more.  Rather, it grows from nurturing unconditional love and self-acceptance, and the capacity to enjoy less. 

As you evolve, you are aware the mind creates fewer illusions to defend. You attune to your physical body to keep grounded in present moments. The mind lures you away from the now. Whenever you wish to grab your own attention with urgency, just scare yourself. The gesture jolts you back to here and now.

Humans possess the desire to always want more than what they have. It's a trait that is necessary for a species that is dominant over all others. However, whenever it comes to finding contentment in life, it's something of an obstacle.

The practice of learning to be happy with your current situation is an important one, because if you're not happy now, you probably won't be happy with a million dollars either. You may be temporarily happy, but you will eventually slide back into your rut, and wish that you had 10 million dollars instead of 1.

This is very good. To seek connotates that what we desire is out there, we need to as you said live in the now, know all that we seek is here. We must remove the veil to see.

Trey, as human beings evolve to systematically break down illusions, one thing they learn is that better and worse do not exist. Happiness, as you imply, relates to unconditional acceptance. What you perceive to have or not has nothing to do with what is inside.

Mark, to believe a veil at all exists is itself a step forward. People are not all on the same wavelength. They do not all think the same. The process of stepping outside what and how other people think is part of what makes life exciting.

Hi Liara,
As we move through the force field of existence, we sometimes get caught on the jagged edge of illusion, but when we pay attention to our surroundings, we can wiggle ourselves out of the webs.

The secret to happiness is that every moment is a blessing and there are blessings in every moment.

Hello Liara,

3) Learn to be fully attentive to every moment.
This is pivotal to sensing when something is out of balance. We are always having to adjust and be flexible to what is. Getting out of the mind created wants and being grounded in what is needed. Thanks for these wise words.

This is wonderful writing Liara.

Unconditional love, self-acceptance, and a less is more attitude. Getting to this level is such an awakening, I believe. I am beginning to be awakened - and it's journey that I continue on - seeking to really embrace exactly what you are discussing here. And I'm finding it to all be such a beautiful thing, as I move in this direction - as I "feel"...

Liara, you continue to help me on this journey, and for that I am just extremely grateful...

Alexys, you share an encouraging message. As you say, regardless of a person's conditions, he can reorient if he chooses. Nothing is carved in stone. Life is an exercise in self-empowerment.

[Liara Covert]

Miruh, attentiveness is an evolving process. Regardless of your awareness, you already notice some things. You can always evolve to attune differently to energy and open the senses wider. Each person has flexible, free will.

Lance, evolving consciousness moves toward awakening. This process becomes percepible on many different levels. As a person realizes happiness and self-confidence depend only on the self, a person may also conclude unexplored assumptions keep him where he is. Growing alertness opens unexpected doors. Awareness enables you to begin recognizing voices in your head for what they are.

Tess, this particular existence is everything you choose.
