Recognize the nature of choices

As you begin to recognize the nature of your choices, you can grow more conscious of what you are choosing and which aspects of experience are of particular benefit to you. Be aware what stands out. Notice the nature of your own specialized conditioning, your beliefs and selective attention. Notice that when you cease to focus on something, it no longer matters. Notice the intensity of your emotions and what they are telling you.

Notice how you feel about dreams. Notice whether you value them and how this directly relates to  your dream recall. Notice whether you are willing to open yourself more widely to dream messages and validity and if not, why not.  When you are willing to explore dreams, you are opening yourself to be more conscious about who you are.  You are opening to new levels of communication with deeper parts of your being.

Every night, you see from the perspective of Spirit. You know you are multi-layered and multi-dimensional and present at every level. From this space, you explore a wide open framework free of time and space.  This is a powerful window into the broader reasons why you choose what you do in this highly-focused physical reality. That which you remember about dreams is simply a translation through the biological senses and the filters through which you define experience. Notice how you are trained to recall and overlook certain details.  Be open to exploring. You are connected to love.

Fear is a stepping stone

Fear is a stepping stone, a filter through which you can choose to experience the world. Be aware fear points to how you are taught to think and feel as a human with an ego that believes it has a separate identity. Be aware of what stands out for you and what you overlook. Notice what you come to think is important and what you disregard.

From the moment you sense and embody divine love, you are aware anything you focus attention on limits perception and obscures inter-connectedness with all things. Suddenly, it feels funny to say things like;"I came into this world", "I must face reality" and "I embark on a conquest of nature." As you begin to see everything as a mirror, your word and phrase choices change. It dawns on you that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.  You are no longer on the outside looking in or on the inside looking out. All barriers or lines of separation cease to exist. Everything is you inviting self-recognition.

Notice what direct experience and feeling tell you. Recognize you are in this world but not of it. Reality is what you create for yourself and where you decide how to respond to these creations. Nature is a reflects the divine perfection of your true essence. Imagine how you view the world from a place of wholeness, well-being and acceptance.  Be that.

Imagine everything you see is like looking into the mirror. Peace can only expand through people who are peaceful. Love can only be shown by those who know love directly. Each human being experiences life from a different vantage point and in a different way, for each being is the universe experiencing itself in endless variety.

Honour your guru

It is often assumed that to honour your guru is to worship or highly respect something outside yourself.  Notice what happens as you view everything and everyone as a pointer to the guru within.  To know thyself is to reclaim what you can never lose.

Imagine that the highest goal of life is to recognize yourself as the Creator of your own human experience. The eternal moment of now is a forever changing mosaic. Your own consciousness creates your experiences. Whatever you fear you draw to you in order to shatter your own myths. As self- doubt subsides, you no longer view yourself as separate from anything. Honesty and transparency are clearly the right path. What you do to others, you do unto yourself. To see yourself as you truly are is to know you and God are indivisible, and the heart always echoes your own divine voice. You are love, Source, that from which everything is always in the process of emerging.

The scriptwriter emerges

Notice how you attribute responsibility to what appears to be happening, right here.  Notice if you attribute events to God, the universe, Higher power, or something else. Is that so? 

Imagine that wider awareness is revealing itself by part of self that is not yet fully clear.  Imagine that you cease resisting the heart, spirit and choice of being the scriptwriter and architect of life.  What happens as you begin to recognize not-knowing of something at any given moment is a choice of the wider you? Be aware of the page you are on.  A page lasts only as long as you allow it to hold attention. The book of life is constantly unfolding.  You are the camera, writer, director and single actor playing all roles. Every event is of your making.

Be aware.  This book of energy is constanty flowing, changing this is not a matter of a higher being who is not here, creating.  Some events that arise are judged and resisted.  Other events are embraced and loved as they are. The ups and downs of a movie are part of what intrigues you, fascinates and inspires you.  It is all you. 

Like Harry Potter, you are the invisible magician, who is forever changing the story, creating every aspect of the illusion you call life.  Although you script events, you do not script how you respond and feel.  See the same movie or read the same book again, and experience it again, as if for the first time. Diverse experiences exist by choice.

Notice what occurs as you begin to flow with life without wishing to change anything.  You grow detached from the plot and appreciate the wisdom of your scripting. Let go of the pain and never a dull moment. Every moment is a vital part of the unfolding. Trust yourself more. The higher power is you. Love life fully.  Love yourself fully. Embody joy.

5 Ways to See Nothing

To see and be nothing requires no effort. It is to be calm and embody whatever arises in silence without judgment. This may feel familiar some of the time or none of the time. If it is not every moment, then you choose to shift attention elsewhere. What do you choose to see instead?

Often, people see an 'obstacle'. This creates a roadblock or resistance rather than allowing life to unfold. Be aware that each obstacle is a gift. It offers ways to understand why you perceive things as you do and the root cause. Consider these 5 ways you create obstacles and forget nothing:

1) Self-talk- Notice where you say, "I would like to [do something], but..." What you are really saying? Look deeper into yourself to see for the real reason you hold yourself back from inner peace, balance and acceptance of what arises. Hesitation is a pointer. You may fear change or allow fear to control you.

2) Redirection- Notice the difference between creating an obstacle because you you do not wish to do something and creating one to point you in a more suitable direction. How does the obstacle help you to see what you are not yet allowing yourself to see?

3) Who? Notice how you feel about the direction of your life when things do not appear to be going to your plan. Who's plan is it really? Explore why you are attached to a particular plan.  Is it really for you? Or, is it someone else's idea of what is for you?

4) How much? - Notice when the obstacle that arises appears to be financial.  Notice what your own thought, body language and words are saying about abundance and scarcity.  Where you focus attention is powerful.  When you focus on what you are not doing, you channel energy into lack.  When you focus on feeling joyful about what you have, then abundance is your focus and this invites more abundance in.

5) When?- Notice when you feel impatience.  Notice whether you wonder when that special relationship is going to enter your life or when your situation will change.  You may resist deeper intimacy or commitment.  You only ever stand in your own way.

Ultimately, to accept who you are, where you are, and love whatever arises is to be in the flow of nothing. To see obstacles is revealing your own illusions and resistance.
