The gift of who you are
Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 4:09PM The human part of you is always seeking, questioning and aspiring. It wants proof to believe in something. This body-mind is conditioned to compare, be logical and reach for understanding. It is never certain about anything. Yet, thinks it wants to own, possess and accumulate, always needs more. It also reacts emotionally based on a sense of perceived events in limited space and time. Human function stems from fear.
Notice what happens as you track fear back to its source. It loses power. Notice what happens as you begin to recognize beliefs are only beliefs, and that anything only ever takes on the meaning and value you give it. Suddenly, you are awakening in ways that tell you the external world no longer controls your attention. Notice every angry person you encounter is a priceless gift. Each one invites you to snap out of a trance.
As you begin to sense the awareness that is, the quality of existing shifts. Time loses significance. Duality is irrelevant. Everyone and everything you see is a reflection of yourself inviting you to recognize the same message. Listen closely to the heart. It knows what exists right now in this moment. The gift of who you are is self aware, self-recognizing. Everything you are taught about your-Self falls away. Silence tells all.
"Love is, above all, the gift of oneself." -Jean Anouilh
