See yourself as you really are

As you go though life, you accumulate experience. Notice whether you judge it or, see it simply as experience and allow it to humble you. As you step back to quietly observe, you notice everything as a teacher inviting you to love yourself as you are.  How can anyone love and accept who you are if you do not yourself? How does it feel to do so?

Everything is reflecting back a message to you. Notice what each experience tells you about compassion. It is not your job to teach others what love teaches you so much as to live by an example. You know in the heart when you are true to yourself, make choices inspired by love, and love others as you would true self. What does it feel like when you are not doing this? Open up to Self-Disclosure:Changes from Within.   

"Only when we trust ourselves can we trust others, wisely." -Jack Ricchiuto

Notice the natural intention

The mind would have you believe that there is such a thing as a natural intention.  Notice the origin of intention.  Recognize the nature of conditioning.  Feel how the heart responds. 

Amidst the apparent hustle bustle in the external world, stillness is present and aware.  It allows you to see through a lens of timeless observation and touch the soul. You notice the ideas, the body, self-view and noise that capture your attention, do not look the same. Feel how you are the energy that flows intuitively through beliefs and emotions without intellectual purpose.

In essence, divine grace is present. A natural or cosmic intention exists.  This is not the same as the intention conceived by the human mind. Allow the truth to reveal itself. Align with what triggers uplifting awareness.  You open up to expand into more than the mind can chew. Who is the seer of it all? Be the Dream then awaken.  Be the directionless point with no boundaries.

"I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening." -Mariel Hemingway 

Core awareness is

Notice what happens as you begin to sense that the energized world is reality.  You shift focus of attention and priorities. You are moving beyond collective assumptions, ego-based thinking and socal conditioning.  You awaken to energy pathways throughout the body and feel guided by sensations.  Core awareness arises. The more you expand through the energy body, the more access to inner knowing reveals itself.  How does your awakening expand into different perspectives or merge into one? Notice the revelations that ensue.

"When all is said and done, the beckoning of awareness is all you have. Eventually it will take you past all known channel markers, beyond all current models [and] take you beyond your known world." -Kenneth Smith, Awakening the Energy Body 

Knowing your life purpose

So often, people allow fear and insecurities to trick them into postponing their dream.  Your mind may echo that you are not ready to take the next step and provide endless excuses to rationalize staying where you think you are, doing something you dislike. However, the ways you focus and see things always serves you.  Its up to you to realize how.

As you step back and watch the ego mind, you may notice it tells you that you have other priorities.  You may notice it echos you do not have the time, money, skills, training or degrees to realize a given goal.  This kind of talk plays on your self-worth and can deflate your enthusiasm and confidence, but only if you permit that. Fears and insecurities exist when you believe in them and allow them to hold you back.

Observing your own thoughts also helps you begin to realize the ego has motives for saying what it does.  You can appreciate what it has to say and you can also choose not to allow it to keep you from doing what inspires you.  Why not Be your Dream? This choose-your-own adventure is like a kaleidoscope with infinite realities.

"I've never begun any important venture for which I felt adequately prepared."
-Sheldon Kopp

Notice what you are not seeing

Regardless of what you are seeing or feeling at this moment, every experience invites you to clarify things for yourself.  Whatever dawns in the mind is there already.  There is no one path to follow. You matter as you are where you are.  Any tension you feel is telling you that you separate yourself from full awareness of ability and potential. 

Notice what you describe and the feelings evoked by each word you choose.  Giving words to experience can be an unconscious effort to control, understand or pin it down.  What's it like to contrast your experience with those of others?  Notice what happens as you allow Self to experience without describing or comparing.   Awareness arises. Notice that your focus of attention can shift to see what you are not yet seeing.  Every book you invite into your life has perfect timing.  Everything reminds you that you are a divine messenger with access to soul and inner knowing about who you are.
