Rely on the path

To know your thoughts and emotions intimately enables you to weather any storm.  When you live under the influence of afflictive emotions, you forget who you are.  When you look for strength and trust outside self, you grow more afraid of illusions.  In order to free the essence of being from the mind, it is necessary to understand and transcend afflictive emotions that you permit to control you.  Awaken from the dream.

What enables you to realize new levels of awakening? How does life show you sources of pleasure also bring you insight into experience of pain and suffering?  Why does heightened awareness serve you?

Liara,

Life is the dream - we are the awakening. :D

Alexys, every situation is a dream. Problems only seem to arise based on the relationship we have with perceived events. We can stop fighting, decide to see the bright side, to create more peace and harmony, or not. When we look at the stillness between us, let go of a sense of separation, then suffering and the path to relieve it, reveal themselves. You gently remind people to reflect on how they relate to people they encounter and whatever happens. Nothing disturbs anyone. We only allow self to be disturbed or not. When you understand how you disturb life, you realize th path to freedom.

I am working on which emotions are mine and which are old absorbed emotions. It does not just release because I want it too or wish it to be so....I am vibrating at a happy place right now....I am not sure I understand what you are expressing here?
wishing you well,

Patricia, as a person chooses to listen to the heart, then no single message has to be understood. To be invited to reflect is to be encouraged to deepen or expand perspective, and gain insight into self.

Know grief and any negative emotions are not intrinsic to love. The wise person is content to observe mind and lets nature be. To align with joy is to realize each person creates his world with thoughts.
