Embrace what is here already

Through direct experience in different areas of your life, you open up to how the body speaks to and through you. With certainty, you know your body is not a fixed entity.

Regardless of how you view the body, love is here already and constantly expanding through your choices to sense it or not. Every moment, the clouds of confusion are parting. Your body's alignment and energy levels shift.  What kind of communication do you notice?

Notice how you attract seemingly different external practices and behaviours in others. What this reflects back draws attention to a common thread.  They all invite you to recognize The Ten Pillars of Buddhism or guiding principles we can apply to daily life.  Gaining deeper insight into thoughts and feelings empowers you to transform from the inside out.  Allow compassion and inner wisdom to be your rudders in the ocean of life.

“Recognize that you have the courage within you to fulfill the purpose of your birth. Summon forth the power of your inner courage and live the life of your dreams. ”
-Gurumayi Chidvilasananda

See beyond the gap

Many people engage the physical senses and experience two dimensional worlds.  You may sense gaps between things but not physically see them and therefore deduce you are imagning it.  Yet, are you really?

Nobody can tell you what reality is.  You have to find courage to go and look for yourself.  One aligns with innerspace, hyperspace or other worlds based on a willingness to explore gaps in space or understanding. 

Rest assured, other dimensions extend to eternity. Many are holographic and multi-directional. The nature of layers of the inner and outer Matrix reveal themselves as one dematerializes the importance of ego. Choose to journey to that point inside self where you realize the real you is spirit rather than ego.  Be free.

5 Revelations to expand inner vision

Some people fear when they run out of questions, they run out of hope. Other people do not choose to ask questions or hope. They are indifferent, miserable or, attune deeply to energy. At some stage, you tap into free-flowing images and sensations you are unable to explain. To become aware is to know you have choices. Consider five revelations to expand inner vision;

1) Acknowledge the mind must transform. Sounds and images congest mental space. Background noise distracts focus. Inside, your mind is occupied and undisciplined. You nurture illusion of hope for something other than what you perceive, want experiences other than those where you are. As you become disillusioned and feel the futility of desire, you experience senselessness and suddenly shift gears.

2) Believe your can exist without self-deception. As you recognize the human mind feeds on lies, you realize you are ready to begin to systematically notice, identify and dissolve them. To feel directions, emotions and events confuse you, means you struggle between thoughts of dissatisfaction and hope for gratification. As you identify and dissolve ego, you prepare to merge with the unseen and unknowable.

3) Recognize the mind feeds on dreams. At some point, you convince yourself dreaming is necessary.  The mind conjures illusions even as you look and listen to a point of reference in the physcial world. You consciously forget dream is complete auto-deception. Hoping still exists. Discipline is the capacity to learn and know. But you cannot know or learn, unless you have attained the capacity to just be in the now.

4) Empty your mind. As you detach from beliefs, you are slowly learning to empty the mind. To experience bliss means absolute silence. You hear snow. This is possible only when there is harmony, that is, when all the discordant fragments of your personality have become one. When you are alone in the house of your mind without distraction, you are blissful.

5) Nurture courage to experience. Yoga is a method used to develop a non-dreaming mind. Its the science of being in the now. To engage fully means you are ready to detach from time, a sense of past and future.  You are willing to reframe hope, and agree not to jump ahead of your being. Yoga means to encounter reality as it is. This path makes it meaningful to uncover and apply depth of mental powers. Learn how to control them and not be controlled by them, and how to use them in the service of others. Do not permit new insight to distract the mind with sensations and focus on form.

5 Ways to examine your current level of awareness

People hear so much about awareness, they begin to ask how to clarify their own current level.  You may sense certain things and so readily forget others.  This may confuse you. You may ask how many levels of awareness there are and what you can do to identify where you stand.  Consider these 5 ways to explore teh nature and level of your awareness; 

1) Disregard numbers.  This includes age, weight, height, psychological time and other numbers.  Physical measurements you imagine and impose.  They cloud pure awareness. Consciousness is beyond conditioning. Impatience is itself a pointer to what is here.

2) Focus on what you cherish.  Anything that strengthens your feelings of love or appreciation has a positive effect on opening to the awareness that is always present.   Express love at every opportunity. Listen to your heart. In essence, love expands awareness.

3) Rethink time and space.  Human beings are conditioned to fragment and limit their perception in an effort to pin things down.  Awareness is imperceptible in a traditional sense, yet you can evolve faculties to move beyond three-dimensional thinking.

4) Choose to be alive.  Consider what this means to you.  Decide to notice opportunities and find the courage to experience possibilities.  Permit tears to flow, and allow other feelings to unfold.  Decide you to consciously expand your points of reference. be open to discover what it feels like to know happiness, sadness and other emotions through the body.  Sense they are all interconnected and point to who you are.

5) Recognize perception is relative.  You will only ever grasp things you are prepared to sense and believe. Your level of self-doubt and negative energy determine what kind of reality you manifest and experience.  Work through scepticism, bitterness, and cynicism.
