Notice what is obvious

Notice what is obvious and "to whom".  Notice who is asking the question and who answers.

The ego mind has limited or selective awareness.  It sees the dream through conditioned filters.  It shifts attention between the past and future.  It judges and compares, sees body parts, people and conditions as separate, and even creates hierarchies of what is thought to be better or worse, more or less desirable.  This is the rebel, fault-finder and people-pleaser, always seeking to improve or find something out of reach or sight.  It attaches or clings and sees things as you are or through the lens of adopted thought, self-image and beliefs.

The omniscient observer sees all and judges nothing right in this very moment. It views through a lens of unconditional love and acceptance. It views everything as a mirror of pure peace, joy and love. In essence, it see things as they are, and feels everything points to this truth. It feels what is real and sees through what is unreal. It is the silent and ever-present guide home.  It knows clarity and enlightenment are never lost. It knows the essence of being cannot lose itself or be anything other than authentic. It is light, joy, freedom and all that direct experience reveals beyond words and associations. It only sees what it feels.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience." -Pierre Tielhard de Chardin

You are right

Whatever you say or do not, you are right.  Express whole-heartedly that love is the answer and be that.  Then, this is all you experience. If you experience something other than your dream, you know precisely why and you are right. Your energy vibration invites it all for reasons that are growing more conscious.  Sense the lesson, accept you know. Embrace it.

In other words, unless your full attention is focused in this moment, and you find a blessing in whatever is happening, what your heart and soul are telling you is not yet registering at a conscious level.  Imagine digesting the revelation that you only ever get precisely what you ask for.  Tired of perceived challenges? Stop seeing them. You only make right choices in the right places with the right intentions.

"There is no inferiority or depravity about the man God made. The only inferiority in us is what we put into ourselves. What God made is perfect. We think ourselves into smallness, into inferiority by thinking downward. We ought to think upward... Right thinking and right living make a right life." - Orison Swett Marden, The Miracle of Right Thought

The key to happiness

The key to happiness is felt in the recognition you are that already. Mental desire, discernment and judgement of the mind offer another perspective, but this is not the real you, or that which observes everything in silence. Being joy feels this unspeakable essence that is fully present, and all-seeing with clarity.  As striving for anything ceases, allowing takes over.  What remains is felt as innersight reveals itself.

Feel what its like to experience unwavering peace of mind, to be aware of innate perfection. Regardless of what the mind would have you believe is unfolding in the movie of your life, serenity is unwavering behind everything. Being happiness feels like there is nothing to escape, nothing to seek. That which transcends space, form, and time is revealed as the lumen being emerging and opening doors to eternity.  Notice your focus.  Recognize the being of light, the feeling of divine presence that is grace.

"To be awake is to be alive." - Henry David Thoreau

"The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness." -Maharishi Mahest Yogi

Why the story loses its appeal

At some stage, the story and details you share to describe who you are no longer resonate. The drama, entertainment value and emotional triggers lose their appeal. You do nothing and watch elements of the identity you construct fall away of their own accord. The urge to offer credentials or opinions fades.  Listening replaces talking.

In essence, you systematically see through layers of your self-created illusions.  You recognize reasons for attachment and detachment, and outgrow certain ways of experiencing the world. You begin to realize it is part of life to feel and let go of all perceptions, not only those that evoke negativity, but also those that trigger positive and uplifing feelings.  Perceptions of lows and highs are all transitions guiding you home. What is natural unfolds through it all.  The mind has selective awareness.  The heart always knows what is meaningful.  As heart and mind are seen as one, be that.

"Renunciation is not getting rid of the things of this world, but accepting that they pass away." -Aitken Roshi

Inspiration for Be your Dream

You may wonder about sources of inspiration for my latest book,  Be your Dream. Each of my books is divinely inspired and actually writes itself.  Each one invites you to recognize choices you make come down to love or fear. Each invites awareness and consciousness to reveal themselves to the extent you allow them. Each book offers quotes that beckon you to see your own reflection through the eyes of all others.

This new book invites you to recognize the role of the ego the heart in dreaming. It also invites you to see what happens as you see things as they are and as heart and mind as seen as one.  You already read your thoughts and feelings, but are you aware they tell you how how true you are to self, and what you can do to see the truth and lies?

Be your Dream empowers you to notice the role of ego in your dreaming process, how scarcity motivates certain choices as part of the struggle for abundance and seeing the ego for what it is inspires other choices. This book invites The Awakening to the nature of beliefs and negativity. You are invited to stand in your power, face the inner shadow and know what the true reality is beyond conditioning. The cause of the social system is our individual refusal to do inner work.  Nothing changes in the external world until we make inner changes. As Gandhi says, "Be the change you wish to see."

This book invites you to see how the mind is a fear filter and the heart is like a lens of love through which we allow ourselves to see the world.  As you allow the heart and mind are seen as one, you begin to see existing is about inner work, and what is required to deconstruct problems you imagine into being. What happens as you come to accept and embody freedom? Experience is the unquestionable teacher.

Every moment, we have opportunities for change.  Everything that you experience can be related to dreams.  Any insecurities you have are based in fear. That fear you are not all you perceive yourself to be is the reason for dreaming, for goal-setting, for creating unrealistic expectations of yourself.  All of it is illusion constructed to keep you from discovering the truth.  Shift focus.  See what happens.  Awakening occurs when each of us discovers things for ourselves. Inspire others to find their own light within.
