Be intensely aware

Be like a river.  It asks for nothing.  It has no direction or destination. Attention on particular directions introduces limitation.  Simply intuit what to do and which way to go. Cooperate with the inevitable, with the flow of life itself.  Be open.  Feel ways to navigate beyond what mind thinks. You start to see what you are ready to see. The flow sheds light, brings clarity, in ways that cannot be imagined.  When you are not focused on division, you surrender.

The mind is taught to focus and fixate on objects, to judge and develop dependence.  It contracts around what it can pin down.  It desires to control it.   Let go of noise.  Appreciate being unsure of what is unfolding in energy, light and unseen information.  Ease into a state of meditation on true awareness.  Introduce a question into the silent mind. BE that.

A revelation

Notice what happens from the moment you recognize that you only ever talk with yourself.  Notice what is watching and appreciating the dialogue.  If "you" is over there then who is right here, now? 

Feel what its like to lose interest  in comparing between where you came from and where you are going.  Nothing always keeps "you" in sight. Everything is a mirror.  What do you see? Silence listens.

Stretch the imagination

To see things as they are is not what you think. You might view science fiction stories as a point of reference for what is becoming possible. You might begin to sense layers of reality exist beyond what mind thinks or believes. Think outside-the-box. Notice what are you taught is possible. Notice who controls the holodeck of existence and who is invisible. Be open to accepting anti- gravity. Could you be a wizard in disguise? Stretch the imagination.

1) Imagine you awaken and the world is very different from what your 'normal' reality. Do you feel like Gregor Samsa who awakens to find himself a cockroach in The Metamorphosis? What stands out about your apparent new existence? What is obsolete? What is unchanged?

2) Envision this world as your canvas.  Notice what you choose to see around you. What do you erase or paint over? What do you sketch in? Where do you add colour and texture? What is the future of Humanity? Do "you" fit in at all?

3) Reflect on how you see yourself 100 and 1000 years from now. Imagine your form or state. How are you travelling? What does your existence feel like? Which innate capacities do you discover and accept? What role organ and cell regeneration play? How do cell codes for spontaneous human healing factor in to an evolving, New Human Being? Be that.  How does it feel?

4) What is existence like from the moment you let go of all self-defeating thoughts, doubt, negativity and delete programming about aging, sickness and death? What do agelessness and fearlessness feel like? How do you function as an immortal in a physical body? Experience evolves from thoughts.  If you do not allow self to imagine anything different than your programming, you do not stretch or grow. 

Feel completely connected

Everything is speaking to you in its own language.  Notice where you listen with the mind or the heart to people, situations and other things you perceive in your life.  When you judge something as good or bad, this is the mind.  When you see blessings, this is the heart. Notice when you feel connected to or disconnected to the heart.  Love is what you are made of. 

The human part of you thinks listening is based on words.  In the mind, the act of listening is an interpretation of words and their meanings. The mind agrees or disagrees with what is perceived.  (i.e., I like what is happening or I do not like it) When mind agrees, it simply confirms its existing beliefs  It cannot  see beyond self-created limitation.  When the mind disagrees, you are blocked.  You are not really hearing.  The moment you apply rules to something or judge it, you are not listening.  You close off or shut out what is being conveyed.

The essence of being is the heart or core of you. Heartfelt listening recognizes everything has a vibration, a message. To listen with the heart is to be completely open. You see every perception points to a deeper message. This is how awakening happens. It is about sensing the way to who you are. The truth is felt. The more you see a message of love, the more you lose yourself and the more you are one with it.  Whatever you can see, experience and allow, you are that.

If you are not listening fully, that is, if you are feeling bad, anxious judging it as good or bad, you are invited to recognize deeper meaning to imbalance. Watch what happens as you ask the heart for insight.  It is always truthful.  You always feel at ease or at peace when the self is absent, when you are not self-conscious. Notice joy flows freely.  When you are enjoying life, watch what happens when someone asks you what you are feeling. Self comes into the picture and the priceless sensation is gone from view.

Notice when you are happy, you feel complete and connected and have no urge to ask questions. There is no need to fix, change or do anything.  Connection is not something you do. Connection is ever present  Emotions are a gauge that help you realize when you feel disconnected from the core.

What about forgiveness?

At some stage, if you allow yourself to be controlled by anger or other emotions, you may ask yourself whether someone deserves your forgiveness.  Step back.  Who or what is asking this question? Recognize the inner judge and behind that, the ego mind has your full attention until the moment you begin to sense the nature of this perspective does not feel quite right. 

As you observe this view from a more objective vantage point, you begin to recognize that exploring the concept of forgiveness assumes; a) its possible to do something wrong; b)that you can weild real power over another person; and c) that somebody other than you exists. Watch what happens as you shift attention away from the conditioned mental filters and you begin to see though your own assumptions.  Be open to seeing from a new vantage point.

If you ever contemplate forgiveness, you temporarily forget you also have the option to see everything through the lens of the heart.  This lens only knows pure love, acceptance and appreciation. It sees something good in everyone and every situation.  The heart is aware;

1) All is well in this moment;  Only the mind judges and creates a sense of duality (good/bad)

2) You cannot exert control over the external world, only how you respond to it

3) There are truly no divisions or separate self

4) Seeing through the eyes of another is a mirror reflection

5) The fear of not being loved is unfounded

6) Unconditional love is the essence of being (Love is what you are)

7) As the ego mind of the HUMAN awakens to the pure love of BEING = Oneness

8) Nothing is actually taking place as the mind would have you believe
