Choose eternity over time

What ego wants, you come to expect. Why is that? What can you do from this moment to shift focus?

Any decision of the mind affects both behaviour and experience. Consider feelings that ground you in a sense of physical time. Guilt may trigger regret, and evoke fears like retaliation or abandonment. Ego may convince you the future simply repeats the past. What if nothing the ego perceives is interpreted correctly?

As you step back and witness ego, notice its judgment of what is worthy makes something worthy for you. Notice only loving thoughts are timeless.  To rediscover a sense of eternity reminds you who you are.

Rediscover inner treasures

Notice how often you dream of where you are in the present moment, and which thoughts and feelings capture your attention. Notice also when you dream of where you perceive you are not, doing what you hope would like to avoid. How do each of these experiences resonate? Why does each one serve you?

Many people take steps to resist or subdue what enters the mind. Tension arises as one exerts control. Other people make peace and allow whatever comes to flow rather than fight. They notice the mind releases itself from temporary emotional reactions. Which living experience uncovers inner treasure?

Reconnect with spontaneity

Notice the nature of soul-level spontaneity versus mind-driven motivation.  Which do you favor or ignore?  One way to deepen spiritual practice is to sense a journey to expand and serve others emerges from the innermost core. 

Take the example some people are inspired by altruism, that is the desire to serve.  Others are motivated to act based on fear or something in-between.  The world transforms through our changes in attitude, perception and behaviour.  Whether you choose to awaken to the nature of the essence of being and extent of energy flowing through you, is up to you.

Know you can deal with anything

Each person has the capacity deep within to sense and deal with anything.  Even now, you are in the process of expanding, of reminding your conscious self that beneath fear, jealousy and doubt, you know only joy. When do you recall feeling completely calm and tranquil? Experience this agin, as if for the first time.  As waves of turmoil arise in the external world, they no longer affect you anymore.

Clarify the process

Notice the experiences that expand your perception and understanding of love.  What distracts you from the messages of compassion in a given situation?  Where compassion exists, love does too.  Only fear distorts messages of wisdom and compassion into a reason to suppress or ignore the core messages.  Identify the intention behind action.  Intention creates the consequences.  Find the courage to awaken, challenge and heal.  You may find it useful to keep a journal about why certain observations are especially meaningful.
