Re-ignite the inner fire

(spider/ insect macrophoto by Bill Petland)

Notice we are taught to assume that many desirable abilities and experiences are rare or require effort, and enchanted worlds cannot exist. We are told fairytales are figments of the imagination, stuff we are meant to outgrow. Yet, what if its not natural to grow up and get serious in the mind and forget our child-like innocence? What if stories like Peter Pan remind us to be true and real? What if we have friends in unexpected places? What if what is in plain sight only registers if we are open to it? Watch what happens as we open the mind to the unthinkable. Our reality shifts. Tuning into the natural world re-ignites the inner fire, activates natural innate abilities and allows language and symbols of timeless consciousness to guide us.

Tune into the Obvious Truth

Notice more often than is often realized, we imagine seeing things and doubt they exist. We are taught to distrust our impressions. We see and yet, we do not always allow ourselves to readily accept what arises naturally. Instead, we are taught to think and feel the unreal to reinforce mental illusions while we silently ignore the real. As consciousness expands, we are invited to let go of assumptions, make room for seeing inwardly. Through the lens of Love, universal Truth is present in all things. As we change from thinking to tuning in, the energy we register expands, and the obvious transforms.

Let the Magic Happen

Notice with so much unfolding, sometimes it feels like touch and go. Still, something within knows that feeling of smooth sailing. Soul knows we can all do what first appears impossible. Walking on water can come to feel like a walk in the park. Seeing and being the light allows us to soar into unexpected depths and directions.

Turn Life Around

Notice sometimes only seeing things upside down allows us to truly see things right side up. More than once, we may contemplate living differently, imagine what it would be like to somehow change or even leave our old life behind, and yet hesitate to take off. As we reach the end of our rope, or (tip)ping point, the excitement of the unknown is more powerful than the fear that held us back. Fearless Soul takes the helm over Ego. Only then do we see the obvious. This is the process of getting in touch with and being ourselves.

Attain a deeper state

Notice when you are not attempting to control your experience, all that remains is for you to watch, listen and be. You may come to tune into the watching, the awareness, notice its something quite fluid and flowing from one point of awarness to another. You may notice how your body feels, sensations arising and falling. You may tune into the silence or intermittent sound. Allow awareness to go rather than where you want it to go. Deep relaxation happens as we let go of control. Even as we let go of attempts to relax, something magical happens without us. There is no effort to sustain anything; not a thought, a pleasant or unpleasant feeling, or a memory. Every sensation lasts as long as it lasts, and is allowed to dissipate. Awareness may decide to stop and rest. Notice awareness moves as it wants to, where it wants to go, no attempt to control it. No effort need be made to stop anything from happening. Instead of seeing where you can direct awareness, you await seeing where awareness can take you wherever it wants. This may be somewhere or nowhere. Be like water. Notice watching water flow freely has a way of unwinding you, your thoughts and body. Nothing is pushed away but allowed to take its natural course. Listening to the wind blow, is akin to listening to the flow of the breath and water. There is no end to allowing everything be as it is. Every instance of letting go guides you to the next opportunity to repeat this. Attaining a deep relaxed state may happen, but there is no goal to stay or move. Notice your own allowing and resistance. No need to enhance anything.
