The message of wisdom

Wisdom cannot be repeated or learned through a teacher. Wisdom speaks directly through what you experience, through sensations. It is something you feel, not something you think or work out logically.  The unspeakable is forever within.  Seeing through the lens of wisdom is to see and appreciate things as they actually are.

Most often, you see things as you are, that is, you are conditioned to see only what the mind filters and wants you to see.  This is about how you perceive and relate to life.  Wisdom exists in the space between books you read and relationships you have. 

You may ask, "when is the best time to get wise?, who is the most important person?, and what is the key thing to do? Everything is now. Whomever you are with at a given moment invites you to show love and appreciation. If you are alone, this means you.  If you are with others, care.  Timeless wisdom is any pointer that evokes peace of mind, unconditional love and acceptance.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Bound to be silent

The mind eagerly listens and anticipates for the next word or whatever it expects to be coming.  How does it react to an event? It downplays the last one, asks about and begins to plan the next one. What does mind do with silence? It grows restless, voices anxiety or shifts attention to mental noise.  As mind hangs on a state of no mind, it is faced with its greatest fear, the threat of having no identity.  Mind responds to silence by doing things to change your focus of attention. Why does silence inevitably emerge?

The deepest being is only ever silent.  To know one is awake and enlightened means one is bound to be silent.  The heart feels this as ordinary, allowing silence to be as it is. Unconditional love accepts and appreciates each moment and all it embodies.

Appreciation, gratitude & balance

When you appreciate, you recognize the nature of unconditional love and how allowing yourself to feel that increases the intangible value of an experience.  Appreciation is like the absence of doubt, fear, negativity, and all those things that have no relevance to the energy you are vibrating when you feel good.  Consider thoughts of fear do not cross the mind when your focus of attention is on the frequency of love.  You may sense selective awareness, as if the lens of love only sees mesages of love.  As you find the silver lining, see something good in others or in every situation, you appreciate or, make the most of where you are.  You know resistance cannot emerge in allowing.

Gratitude resonates a slightly different energy.  Gratitude is a feeling that emerges as part of the process of sensing accomplishment, like after you overcome an obstacle.  It is then you feel grateful to be where you are after hard work or struggle.  You may feel grateful to be alive after surviving an accident or health issue.  In this way, choosing to feel grateful brings balance.  It brings you from a state of fear back to the inner knowing of the love that is.  A spark of doubt still resides within you about the possibility of having to endure pain and suffering again.  You recall what unwavering acceptance feels like by feeling gratitude, but do not dwell there every moment. You falter slightly.

Life is perfect

The vision of a perfect universe resonates deep within. Notice whether you resist it. Timeless beauty flows through you. The love you feel points toward it. Every moment, you are moving forward into uncharted waters, and  realms that are temporarily outside your scope of conscious awareness. You are invited to peel off layers of thought to see what remains. As you observe the mind from beyond it, the heart reveals what it knows. You are letting go of all that stands in the way of unconditional acceptance.

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”  -Antoine de Saint- Exupery

See yourself as you are

As you see yourself as you are, limitations no longer exist. You see through illusion and know clarity.  As you see yourself as you are, expectations, goals and possibilities fade, and you give your undivided attention to closing the gap.  As you see yourself as you are, you no longer care who gets credit for a result.  Instead, you focus on activating feelings of joy, security, acceptance and expansion.   As you see yourself as you are, you no longer view yourself or your ideas as an anomaly. The extraordinary becomes ordinary, and you stop resisting. As you see who you are, you realize your chosen experience is your truth at any given moment.  Knowing replaces questioning.  Stillness replaces agitation and restlessness.
