Why feel invisible or powerless?

As the story goes, a stone buddha statue is revered by many people.  They approach it by ascending mountain using a series of stone steps. One evening, after the people are gone, the steps express a few words with this statue;

"It is not fair!," cried the steps. "We are carved out of stone from the same mountain and yet people flock to walk all over us and only ever bow down to you.  How can this be possible?"

The buddha statue listened in silence.  When the was ready, he replied: 

"You, as steps, were formed by a few cuts of a knife. I emerged from that same stone yet, only after more than ten thousand cuts." 

As a reminder, we influence each other and all of life with our intention.  We can transform our experiences from fear to love or not.  The rising sun offers new conditions.  The more one thinks of oneself as invisible and powerless, the more one can grow aware of the inner judge, why we blame or envy and how every emotion brings consequences.  One can exert creative power responsibly or irresponsibly.   

Be aware of the motives

An ancient saying reminds us that three things can never be taken back-- a shot arrow, a spoken word and a lost opportunity.  Be aware it is not the actions that matter but the motive's behind one's actions.  Choose to be the best possible version of who you are and you go beyond mere skills to draw from heart and soul. How does your perspective expand as you sense love is the underlying motive for everything? This increasing self-awareness reveals how you actually transform your life without thinking, but by simply being.

Access the energy you have

You may not realize you currently access energy you can use for inner healing and development work.  Everyone has options to balance anger and acquiescence, love and fear.  This cannot be done by denying all states are part of our being.  As you choose to integrate polarities, balance is achieved.  You decide whether you are driven by individual forces or recognize you have the power to choose.

In truth, complete honesty and openness means the willingness to accept potential for all feelings.  To deny anger is to draw angry or violent people toward you because balance creates itself.  To contribute to  a more peaceful planet, you must be willing to re-align with serenity within.  This implies you grow aware of and cease self-criticism and judgment.  As you sense and accept any enemy is only a self-reflection, you shift perception, begin to heal karma and rebalance patterns of the Earth.  Its all part of Cosmic Synchronicity.

Liberate from the projection

Some people are unaware they are a facit of consciousness that forgets its unlimited nature.  Imagine why consciousness ignores itself and longs to be free.  Reflect on how your perspective shifts as you realize you are already everything mind echoes you do not have.  What blessings do you discern in the process of self-forgetting? Are you familiar with sensations of the unthreading of confusion?

As you sense you move into a perspective of expanding transparency, you open states of remembering. People begin to recall meditation is not something they do, it is the natural presence of consciousness they are. From the vantage point of ignorance, the person is what you are and meditation and love are things you do. As you flow into deeper understanding, meditation and love are what you are and the person is what you do temporarily.  Ego is an optional activity that reconnects you to soul. Shifting states is part of Cosmic Synchronicity. 

How to make the most of now?

You could choose to see the bright side of where you are and your current circumstances. How often do you do so? Some people are the sort that bring sunny optimism with them even when its raining.  Other people seldom view anything positive in moment. What about you?

Imagine how your life feels as you detach from the drama, relinquish grudges and other hard feelings, and simply choose to see beauty and love inside self and others. What happens as you decide to sense advantages and blessings in all your choics and also to be aware of why you make them? Why focus on such intentions?  You decide whether to make the most of now and also how this translates into being.

For some people, this means cherishing every moment they are given in this lifetime, choosing to laugh off annoyance rather than allow self to get angry, doing more with less, cutting back on extraneous activities and detaching from relationships and conditions that no longer resonate with how they feel.  Be aware your choices reflect priorities.  Pursuit of material things, discrimination or complaining about where you are not or those choices that trigger continued discomfort, may lose their appeal. What happens as you make new choices?

Notice every choice you make is creating experience.  The clothes you buy, the food you eat, the people you connect with, the places you live, the physical things you use, the affiliations you create or discontinue, all of this reflects how you feel inside.  What messages about self-acceptance ordissatisfaction are you sending? How closely are you listening, hearing? Even now, you choose to Transform your life.
