Stop waiting & truly see

Notice how you hijack your own attention and in doing so, drain your energy.  When you believe you have to wait for something to change, your focus cannot be fully in this now.  What happens from the moment you recognize your mind only ever thinks it has to catch up with an imagined vision of a balanced and fulfilled state of being? 

Notice how easy it is to get caught in webs of thought that invite you to re-examine, set goals, focus on waiting for events to happen, or or get somewhere. Notice it is never too late to shift focus.  Ease into the state of being forever present. You are this gift.

From the moment you shift your complete attention to this moment, notice what happens.  Something and nothing is waiting.  You have the impression you move from 'here to here.'  Thinking stops.  Sensations are unleashed and then revelations unfold faster than the speed of light, time and space.  Where is everybody?  As you see and recognize yourself as it is, things are no longer as they appear. True nature of everything is equal and revealing itself every instant to anyone ready and willing to see.

"Whatever you bring into this aware nothingness, whatever presents itself, frees itself." -Adyashanti

Follow the thread of love

Notice you always encounter apparent strangers and strike up conversations for reasons the heart knows even when the logical mind does not.  Intuition is always a silent guide. Notice how you think, feel or interact with others sets off a domino effect. 

As you follow the thread of love, who is helping who? Do you invite a stranger into your life or does the person energetically beckon you? Notice what happens as you see everyone is interdependent, satisfying needs before they arise.  All needs are met in acceptance and mutual appreciation.  Any sense of difference or division falls away. 

You might say memories, perception and emotions are teachers. They distract your attention away from the compassionate being that is forever present and aware. As attention shifts, home speaks for itself in silence. All is well and invites you to just be.

"There are threads that help you find your way back, and there are threads that intend to bring you back. Mind turns to pull, it's hard to pull away." -Jeanette Winterson

See yourself everywhere

Purpose can be viewed as a changing perception of fulfillment. Everything can also be felt as a stepping stone to opening to consciousness. What happens as you voluntarily turn inward to explore the truth?  What do you let go of and what reveals itself quietly?

What you find is that beyond the fear, anger, sadness, despair, and other emotions, you are willing to be more honest wih yourself and see through direct experience what is real. You begin to see yourself everywhere.  This is not the Self the mind defines.

You travel no distance to be where you are. Now is the  moment is when you simply Be who you are.  The sense of oneness and individual co-exist with nothing to reconcile.

"The nature of truth is dynamic and always calls for a deeper level of simple honesty and vigilance." -Gangaji

Nothing can do nothing but amaze

As you begin to sense and live as though infinite trust flows through you and is you, incredible things unfold in ways that suddenly are the ordinary.  What happens?

All those plans you have been laying out no longer make sense.   Notice ideas arising within you disintegrate. Nothing remains.  Still, intention has a place.  Yet, its not what you think.  Nothing can do nothing but amaze you. Whatever you imagine, you already are. Rather than move from 'here to there,' you simply go from 'here to here.'   Be that.

"Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today." - Mark Twain 

What does it take to transform?

Every moment of your life is what you make of it.  The ego mind tells you to decide what to love, whom to love, when to love, under which conditions to love, how to love and what this really encompasses. The mind also says love transforms your life.  To begin with, you might say love and fear shape everything and nothing ...Yet why speak?

Take this opportunity to reflect on the books, people, choices and circumstances that invite you to step back and see the world from a new vantage point.  Notice what stands out.  Does anything in particular capture your attention at this moment and transform your life? What story or revelation would you like to share? Go on!

"I'm saying look, here they come, pay attention. Let your eyes transform what appears ordinary, commonplace, into what it is, a moment in time, an observed fragment of eternity. " - Philip Levine
