Why are you here?

How often have you asked yourself why you are alive now? You may imagine doing certain things, nurture dreams and then, suddenly discover you are behaving on unconscious autopilot.  You may recall moments when what you are doing no longer makes sense.

You may be unaware that you are moving in and out of semi-meditative states of awareness. You are learning all the time, even when you do not realize.  It is like you pass from one room of awareenss to another yet, you do not take in all the details, by choice.

Then again, maybe you are the sort of person who does not question.  Some people do not feel the urge to speak or explain how they view their conditions.  You may simply believe and feel certain things make sense.  You may have decided that your view of reality would not jive with the perceptions of people you know, so you keep views to yourself.

Some human beings require no scientific proof to confirm what they already believe is true at this moment.  You may feel no reason to doubt your sanity.  Whatever your emotions on the surface, you can evolve to reconnect with the love you feel for yourself at the core.  Learn to awaken like never before, to trust your gut, remember all you are.

Cherish every moment

Late in 2007, I was contacted via email by a school friend of my sister's.  He was looking to get in touch with her again.  Funny thing was, I had attended elementary school with his sister.  She and I had been great friends.  The email from this guy I had not heard from in years prompted me to reconnect with my own school friend after twenty-six years. 

Sharing a picnic lunch in a park with her was like going back in time.  We rekindled our friendship and have been in touch since even though we live in different cities.  Such a relationship reminds me how priceless people are in our lives.  You just never know how long you have or how meaningful a particular relationship may turn out to be. 

This girlfriend generously provided much of my wedding photography.  She was especially on my mind today as I received a startling email from her.  Two days ago, her brother was tragically killed in an accident near his work in a foreign country.  He was thirty-two.

I send out positive energy and celebrate the life of this young man. He reconnected me with his sister and will always have a special place in my heart.  He devoted himself to meaningful causes, including amateur sports.  We may have no words to describe the world of the spirit or soulful connections that endure. Every relationship has a purpose.

Get your feet back on the ground

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Melbourne, Australia.

Dream- From a distance, I watched a person climb horizontally around a steep mountain. As my view focused, I saw I was the climber.  As I came to a stump, dangling roots were crumbling from termites.  I reached to grasp another clump of rock then, I no longer felt the need to climb. The complete perspective rotated. I suddenly stood on firm ground. 

Predominant Emotions- bewilderment, anticipation, optimism and self-acceptance.

Interpretation- Growth is perpetual.  A stump is like a memory of who you thought you were.  To feel "up a stump" suggests you may be perplexed about some of your recent experiences.  Rest assured, it is all part of a meaningful process. To reminisce about remnants of who you were can bring you closer to raising awareness about who you are.

Termites are industrious creatures who like warmth and solid forms of sustenance.  You can learn to discern your own level of enthusiasm when you sink your teeth into something.  Does part of you feel like you have bitten off more than you can chew? More of what you need is still available.  Something in you understands or you would not stop.

You sense what it takes to build a firm foundation. If you evolve to be flexible and adapt well to periodic changes,  then your relationships with endure and no significant situation will 'leave you hanging.' Accept who you are you will discover how grounded you truly are.

How does higher awareness serve you?

You may have heard about higher awareness, but remain unsure about how this would serve you. What if you discovered that you have the capacity to grasp useful inner connections, to recall faculties you had forgotten? Would it please you to learn that your ordinary observations are preparing you to strengthen supersensible observations?

Consider your body imagines things.  The sentient soul converts them into sensations.  You retain details in memory for future reference, when you are ready and willing to retrieve them.  Why else would you retain knowledge if not to use it at some later stage when part of you recovers it?  Give yourself up to perception.  See what happens.

Before you can decide whether how you think and feel is in your interest, you must first evolve to define what this means.  You discern what makes sense, what serves you and if so, how it effects everyone and everything around you.  Each action you undertake leads to another action.  The series helps to define your movement, but not who you are.

When is appropriate to move on?

At a given moment, living the best you can means you learn to read the energy vibrations inside and around you. You benefit from raising awareness of what is good for you or not. What feels right? When is it time to move on? What would this dream mean to you?

You may sense reason to change your work environment or, to make a geographic move. Something may urge you to distance from relationships that are no longer working. You may feel prompted to explore a totally new life path. Instincts tell you all you need to know, when you are willing to listen.

For instance, if you have been a renter and disagreed with a landlord about the state of repair of a rental property, this may be a sign to move on. If your rent increases to an undesirable level or, utility costs escalate because of landlord negligence of the property, then energy vibrations are sending signals. Even if you have grounds to initiate legal proceedings, this may incur you more costs. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. Anger is dark emotion with low energy. It does not serve you.

Perhaps you are not getting along with your boss or your co-workers. You just do not see eye-to-eye. This may in fact, have been the case for quite some time. You did not choose to see it. Why do you resist your evolution? Is staying where you are a comfortable habit? Confrontation may not be the best option. This may be a sign to find a more nourishing job or, even to start your own business.

The state of your health or, the health of a loved one also abruptly changes your sense of priorities. Recall a film like Beaches, or situations in your own family. Serious illness will lead you to change the nature and place of your work to be closer to people you cherish. You may view it as a sign to retire, to change your lifestyle, schedule or, simply decide to live dreams you had put off until the future.

If you believe human beings never move anywhere physically, then you believe you add meaning to a void every moment. You are a creator of consciousness. Moving on would then be an evolving perception of what matters. Anytime, you may turn away from how you lived in the past so that you refocus on the present. You know it is time to move on from how you were when you are not completely at peace inside. Your feelings, reactions, physiology, energy vibrations, all guide you.
