Treasure is here and now

Notice the mind has you focus attention anywhere but the present moment.  The mind tells you that what you want is within reach, is something to work toward.  Yet it distracts you from the gift of being.  Direct experience offers treasures found in the pocket and heart. 

What happens as you recognize the ultimate gift is being who you are right now? There is nobody to blame. Forgiveness is unnecessary. Nothing is required for loving and appreciating the priceless treasure that is.  The essence of being knows nobody judges you but yourself. Watch what happens as you do not identify with anything. Unlearn, let go and be.  Harmony with divine nature and true presence already are. 

"Every problem has a gift for you in its hands." - Richard Bach

Access the power of now

To accept this moment is to reach a point where you have had enough suffering.  It is to be open to seeing suffering as a teacher, and being ready to accept that another way exists to live.  Interpretation is recognized as it is, as a kind of resistance.  Notice what happens as suffering is seen as being self-created.  As it grows apparent your outer world conditions reflect the state of the inner world, then everything points to what you hesitate to accept.  Harmony and unconditonal love are felt in the power of now.

"Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into your answers." - Rainer Maria Rilke 

Create for the joy of it

Why is it that the mind thinks you need a reason to do or become?  How does it feel to engage in purposeless action?  Notice the word purpose implies dissatisfaction, desire for change and assumptions about imperfection. When are you idle by choice?

Consider for a moment, how your focus and priorities shift at different stages of your life.  Reflect on what stands out during stages of infancy, childhood and teens. Reflect on highlights or turning points of adulthood; career and/or unemployment, stages of health or illness, singlehood, partners/hips, marriage, possibly divorce, parenthood, widowhood or whatever stands out. Now, when are your choices only based joy and making the most of the moment? Where are you aware of conditioning to work toward what you think is missing or would make you happy? What inspires you right now?

Everything is valid.  There is no right or wrong choice, only situations that evoke a response or not and opportunities for lessons or unlearning.  One perspective is that nothing ever truly happens.  Beyond words and their contents, nothing remains.  Here, no perceived lack exists, only perfection, acceptance and wholeness. Joy is being.  Its what is felt in the heart.

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." -Philip K. Dick

Why seek inspiration?

Notice how many people regularly seek Inspiration in their lives. Some people are teeming with endless inspiration that flows freely through their entire being while others struggle to find sources of inspiring thoughts, ideas, endeavours. What are your sources of inspiration? Do you look outside yourself or do you turn inward and listen heart and soul? When does inspiration come to you? Does any environment help?

What matters to you speaks to you and through you in different ways.  Much depends on how you listen and on what you choose to hear. Inspiration does not necessarily require words to convey its message.  Notice the wind and weather, sound vibration, colour, texture and other sensations are other languages that share what they have to say.  Notice endless sources of inspiration connect with who you are. What do you sense and feel? Every moment is full of opportunities to allow what matters to get its message across.  Stillness speaks.  Notice what stands out to inspire you now.

"Reach high, for stars lay hidden in your soul.  Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal." -Pamela Vaull Starr 

Only one thing matters

Only one thing that matters is state of consciousness.  Everything else is relative. To connect with that which is beyond the self is the most selfless thing and yet, is often missed.  Notice what you decide has power to make you unhappy. What is missed?

The mind tells you what it wants. The heart says the world unfolds as something else. Peace is what transcends every mental perception. The purpose is not what ego mind assumes. Connect with what makes you weightless.  This is not a physical diet.  Feel the incredible lightness of being that is nothing, a state of non-division, pure innocence.
