Bridges build themselves

Notice everyone is not in the same feeling place of awareness. Consider you do not share the feeling specifics of an experience the same way with everyone you know.  People relate to different aspects of a given story, based on whether it is something they want or not.  Where you focus attention helps you realize why you want to build bridges of awareness.  People choose to awaken to the power of their own thoughts and emotions or not.  Whether you allow others freedom to choose affects your vibration.

That is, each person accepts or resists unconditional love, pure joy and fulfillment available to them.  They embrace or reject security and wellness.  As you deliberately choose things that enable you to feel good, you orient your vibration to transform your life.  People enter your scope of awareness who relate to your focus, who get excited about what excites you, who consciously expand insight into adjusting vibrations.     

Notice patterns crumbling

What if you choose not to bring perceptions of the past into interactions of this moment? Imagine what life would be like if you did not view people as walking personal histories.  Consider that people often exist with varying degrees of resentment, regret and unresolved issues.  Notice where the same reactions present each time you encounter certain people.  Move beyond the patterns. Others do not have to understand you for you to be happy. Free yourself from what you thought you needed.  With presence comes compassionate acceptance of who you are.  Give others space to be as they are.  Let go.  Be free.

Nobody is a stranger

What if you begin to sense nobody is a stranger, that everyone you think you do not know is actually an old friend you temporarily forget? What if you enter unfamiliar settings as a willing participant in bigger things?

The experience of awakening to the nature of dreams and sensing the limitlessness of mind can shock the conditioned mind.  Many people feel this kind of expansion shifts to a sense of being and knowing forever. 

Part of you is forever present, spontaneous and fearless. True nature of existence invites you to release self from individualistic attachments and misperceptions of freedom.  Choose instead to be open, naked, flexible.  Take responsibility for who you are.  Be receptive and grateful for opportunities to transform.

Think until you outgrow it

Nobody has every encountered anything but a thought or projection of a thought.  One does not escape from now, but one may deny it or be distracted.  To be lost in thought is to forget the essence of being.

Perception combines feelings and sensations with judgment.  The inner judge introduces thought and tells you existence is based on structures and forms that you work out.  Curiously, everything is fine already. Time is irrelevant. As you ask, how do I still the mind? Mind tricks you to believe it is not already still.

In terms of form and linear time, you may not be able to add much more to your cv or identity. The mind-created sense of specialness or recognition may or may not be realized.  What is the point then, of obsessions with form, the search for things, engagement in endeavours? What is already transforming?

To feel the luminous, formless being is beyond thought, beyond a conceptual dream of personal history. Move beyond constant neediness and drama.  Awareness is stillness that exists beyond images and comparisons. It is not something you experience if you follow a course of action. Stop thinking to just be.

Do nothing

All experience through ego, creates perception based on comparison.  As you align with the inner witness, you feel authentic power is beyond ego and requires doing nothing.  This is beyond judgment. To awaken is to sense the freedom of all you are in all that is, and the revelation that nothing real ever actually changes. Peace and contentment reign.

"From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all."  -Ralph Waldo Emerson
