Opportunities are knocking

At any given moment, infinite oportunities exist.  There are those you consciously notice and those you do not.  That which you are ready for suddenly takes centre stage in your life.  Ever notice how and when your conscious focus is shifting? What is your priority right now? Be aware of a variety of influences on your beliefs. Every 'ah-ha' moment is a teacher, an opportunity for shifts of attention, a gentle reminder all is always well from a vantage point always within reach.  Notice what happens as feelings of being centered now appear.

"The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention." - Alan Watts

Elevate consciousness

What does it mean to you to feel awake and alive? Where is your focus? Even in the process of going about this day, your priorities and ways of perceiving the world are changing.  Step back for a moment and notice how you spend your time.  Are you focusing on what matters most to the heart and soul? As you shift focus and notice what passed by your radar before, you elevate consciousness.  This is all about recognizing thoughts and feelings without judgment. It all serves you.

Reflect on dreaming

People are inspired and motivated by different things at different stages of their lives. You may find your mind in control of your attention, your heart and intuition guiding you, and even something else you cannot put your finger on at the helm of the dreaming.  Which kinds of dreams stand out for you?  Where is your focus right now?

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.

You know how it feels

Everything is coming back to you.  You know how it feels to be present and focused.  You feel what its like to be a witness.  You are increasingly seeing the world as it is, not as you are.  What stands out in your experience?
