Emptiness simply is

Your nature is awareness that is self-aware.  There is a quality of lucidity and intelligence so familiar they go noticed. You embody a tremendous sense of love and well-being. You can align with perfection or balance regardless of what appears to be going on outside of you.  This authentic you knows emptiness simply is.  How willing are you to be simple, to let go of the tendency of the ego to do what it does? You always have free will.  Every moment, you are invited to let go of deeper and deeper opinions, identifications, and judgments that are irrelevant to your true self.  Nothing is required to reach a liberated place.  Stop trying and resisting.

See things as they are

Most people do not see things as they are.  Rather, they see things as they are.  This reminds you that your thinking and judgment shape your perception.  Thoughts you identify with take shape as your ego.  In truth, you are not the thought, but the awareness.  Until you reach a stage where you consciously work through the veils, that is, transcend the negativity, then your life is grounded in selective perception.  You create a world and can step outside of it. Free yourself from thought and you awaken to free self from ego control. 

In a nutshell, why believe the lies that ego produces?   Get out of the mind and realize problems are self-generated.  Comparisons are ego devices.  Living according to an image or a label prompts you to be more unconscious rather than awake.  Be present, natural.  Live free of images or labels to tell you who you are.  Observe defensiveness within you.  Who you are cannot be attacked, needs no defences, no proof.  Whenever you grow defensive, this reveals you identify with an illusion.  The real you exists beyond it all.

Melt the perceived distance

In the course of awakening, it grows apparent that it is helpful to melt the perceived distance between how you would like to feel and how you choose to feel now.  Take a step back from emotion.  Recognize why you imagine the distance between ego mind and multi-facited reality you choose to create and experience. 

To define identity, ego creates a sense of distance between you and the external world.   On the inner level, the gap is pure illusion.  This is an invitation to reflect on reasons for being, to see through your own misperception.  As you begin to realize no gap exists between you and the external world, you clear the inner dialogue and open to expanding experience. Shift conscious intention.  Be wide awake.  Accept it all.

Choose to align with who you are

Notice the focus of the ego mind. As you choose to feel things that do not enable you to feel good, you forget you also have choices to change focus, reframe perceived transitions.  What you miss is not what seems to be leaving or changing beyond your control.  What you miss is not people or conditions, but the security and love you associate with them.  You control how you feel about everything every moment.  

As you release resistance, you align with who you are, the unlimited source energy and unconditional love ego denies.  To focus on anything other than the feeling of being connected with the essence or source within is to postpone alignment.   As your vibration shifts, your destiny shifts. Ease your experience in the present.  What are you waiting for? Do the best you can now. Allow alignment to reveal itself.

Discern the energy shift

Its easy to get bogged down with events you perceive to be unfolding around you. Do you lose sight of the energy shifts occuring within and around you? Notice the currents of energy that take shape in emotions and perceptions. Notice whether ego takes a god-like role in your life or fades into the serene emptiness.  Notice how you experience and exercise power and whether silence and humbleness reign as teachers.
