Access the power of now

To accept this moment is to reach a point where you have had enough suffering.  It is to be open to seeing suffering as a teacher, and being ready to accept that another way exists to live.  Interpretation is recognized as it is, as a kind of resistance.  Notice what happens as suffering is seen as being self-created.  As it grows apparent your outer world conditions reflect the state of the inner world, then everything points to what you hesitate to accept.  Harmony and unconditonal love are felt in the power of now.

"Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers." - Rainer Maria Rilke 

Why are you here?

If someone asks you 'why are you here?,' what do you say? Common responses include; "to make a difference," "to serve," "to better myself," "to leave a legacy," "to work through karma," "just to enjoy where I am," "to learn lessons," and "that is a very good question! Never thought about it!"  Some or none of these may make sense.   Different answers arise within at different stages of your life depending on you focus.

You may live your life based on conditioned routines, based on what you have been doing for what seems to be a long time. Today, at this moment, you are invited to step back and ask why.  Probe deeper.  Notice if more than one answer presents itself.

"The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is."  - Kahlil Gibran

What is the point of it all?

The moment arises where you just know what you are meant to do and you do it. This is not part of the process of seeking.  Thought is not involved.  It is like an inner voice guides and you feel right where you are, wherever that is.  There is no more fear, self-doubt or hesitation.  It is accepting what cannot be known and surrendering. You know longer ask questions like, "What is the point of it all?" Suddenly, being nothing is it.  Silence and stillness provide timeless answers.  Even peace and tranquility speak.

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." -Socrates 
"Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know. " -Ralph Waldow Emerson

Timeless wisdom of humility

You may recall an experience in you life when you sense you learned a valuable lesson.  You may talk about it to reinforce the assumed point of understanding. During another stage of your life, you may wonder why a new opportunity presents to you to learn the same lesson.  In fact, you may begin to notice the lesson is available to you again and again and you had been unaware until now. What is the timeless message?

Awakening is a signal from the universe that the mind can tell you one thing while the heart knows another in silence.  Humility is like a signpost, a feeling reminder of the right way of seeing things from the broadest possible point of view.  It is meekness, the willingness to be perceived however others choose and not having to prove you are right.  It is about letting go of what your ego tells you matters and discovering it means nothing. Let go of what you think you want.  Surrendering to not knowing is everything.

"Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life." -George Arliss 

"...in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying." -John Tauer 

Walk your own path

You are invited to walk your own path, to awaken and notice how you think and feel. Be aware nothing matters yet you are conditioned to give meaning to and judge everything. Thoughts are like stepping stones that focus attention through the limited lens of the mind. You can be conscious and decide which thoughts dominate your focus and your life experience. Feel what its like to be discerning.  Notice the vibration of what feels right. Be present with love and reverence.  Know all is well wherever you may travel.

"No one saves us but ourselves.  No one can and no one may.  We ourselves must walk the path. You cannot travel the path until you become the true path itself."
- Buddha
