Be the compassionate universe

Be aware that energy creates reality.  Be aware of what is real.  You nurture what you see with thoughts and emotions. Nature remains as you let go of all that is nurtured. Go within. Feel connected to everyone and everything and the truth reveals itself.  You exist to evolve your consciousness.  Notice whether you listen to the heart (intuition). Allow yourself to be in the empty space that exists within the heart. Be that in silence.

Consider what happens from the moment you choose to live in empathy, to help, serve or empower others with love and appreciation. You begin to sense what it feels like to do the right thing and intuitively do it. You begin to go deeper within yourself and know the universe you are.  Interconnected universes are held together with compassion. You are the fabric of everything that has ever existed and all that is in this moment.  All that is unfolding invites you to let go of what stands in the way of accepting the real you.

"I allow my intuition to lead my path." - Manuel Puig 

Follow the thread of love

Notice you always encounter apparent strangers and strike up conversations for reasons the heart knows even when the logical mind does not.  Intuition is always a silent guide. Notice how you think, feel or interact with others sets off a domino effect. 

As you follow the thread of love, who is helping who? Do you invite a stranger into your life or does the person energetically beckon you? Notice what happens as you see everyone is interdependent, satisfying needs before they arise.  All needs are met in acceptance and mutual appreciation.  Any sense of difference or division falls away. 

You might say memories, perception and emotions are teachers. They distract your attention away from the compassionate being that is forever present and aware. As attention shifts, home speaks for itself in silence. All is well and invites you to just be.

"There are threads that help you find your way back, and there are threads that intend to bring you back. Mind turns to pull, it's hard to pull away." -Jeanette Winterson

What does it take to transform?

Every moment of your life is what you make of it.  The ego mind tells you to decide what to love, whom to love, when to love, under which conditions to love, how to love and what this really encompasses. The mind also says love transforms your life.  To begin with, you might say love and fear shape everything and nothing ...Yet why speak?

Take this opportunity to reflect on the books, people, choices and circumstances that invite you to step back and see the world from a new vantage point.  Notice what stands out.  Does anything in particular capture your attention at this moment and transform your life? What story or revelation would you like to share? Go on!

"I'm saying look, here they come, pay attention. Let your eyes transform what appears ordinary, commonplace, into what it is, a moment in time, an observed fragment of eternity. " - Philip Levine

Feel the love that is

The more you let go, the more love actually reveals itself to and through everything.  It demands nothing, needs nothing and is, in essence, nothing you can pin down. It is like the gift of feeling peace and contentment or the presence of life itself.  Recognize the sun rises and sets the same way everywhere. The only difference is what you see.

Similarly, consider how you tell when night ends and morning begins. One perspective is light and darkness exist in the same moment.  The focus of your attention is based on what you are ready and willing to accept, that is love and accept the essence of being fully or remain shrouded in fear and doubt. You observe difference or sameness, focus on separation (and difference)or unity. From the moment you look into the eyes of another and see the reflection of God or spirit, then dawn breaks. Unconditional love arises and it has no opposite. It is what it is.  Silence takes over to play its own tune.

"Most humans, I've noticed, are trying to figure out what's wrong and then change it. The truth is, if we become comfortable with who we are rather than who we think we should be, then we will be less insecure."  -Daniel Gottlieb

Tell it like it is

The conditioned mind would have you believe suffering is good for you and invites you to think and focus on that.  The mind urges you to 'tell it like it is.' For the mind, this is anything that distracts you from unwavering acceptance, peace and contentment.

Notice what happens as you focus attention instead on what you love, on what evokes joy and happiness within you.  Feel the vibration that arises as you talk about what touches your heart and inspires your soul.  Sing about it.  Compose poetry about it. Use any or all forms of creative expression that resonate.  Sense what it is to be authentic, to be still inside, come what may in the perceived external world.  Even take moments to say nothing and allow silence to speak.  Surrender to what is deeper.

"Be nothing, do nothing, get nothing, become nothing, seek for nothing, relinquish nothing, be as you are..." -Miranda
