See things as they are

Most people do not see things as they are.  Rather, they see things as they are.  This reminds you that your thinking and judgment shape your perception.  Thoughts you identify with take shape as your ego.  In truth, you are not the thought, but the awareness.  Until you reach a stage where you consciously work through the veils, that is, transcend the negativity, then your life is grounded in selective perception.  You create a world and can step outside of it. Free yourself from thought and you awaken to free self from ego control. 

In a nutshell, why believe the lies that ego produces?   Get out of the mind and realize problems are self-generated.  Comparisons are ego devices.  Living according to an image or a label prompts you to be more unconscious rather than awake.  Be present, natural.  Live free of images or labels to tell you who you are.  Observe defensiveness within you.  Who you are cannot be attacked, needs no defences, no proof.  Whenever you grow defensive, this reveals you identify with an illusion.  The real you exists beyond it all.

Choose not to doubt

Step back from your current focus and perceived conditions. Know where you are and how you feel is a choice. Many ways exist to see and experience energy or unfolding events. Notice your focus grounded in fear and vulnerability or love and acceptance. Everything points to a higher purpose. Feel blessings and revelations unfold. Imagine a world where fear does not exist and simply abide there.

"Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms." - Kahlil Gibran

Wake up & remember

A teacher does not enter your scope of awareness at key stages of your awakening.  You are the teacher who is awakening to your own true power.  Thus, an external teacher does not empower you to trigger "ah-ha" moments.  Instead, a pre-ordained awakening within draws attention to shifting self-perception.

Asking higher energies for guidance helps you to recognize you are a transmitter and vehicle travelling through dimensions.  The use of symbols, shapes, dreams and crystals brings you closer to knowing higher self consciousness. A given situation in 3-D, physical worlds does not reveal the truth of what is beyond.

Notice patterns crumbling

What if you choose not to bring perceptions of the past into interactions of this moment? Imagine what life would be like if you did not view people as walking personal histories.  Consider that people often exist with varying degrees of resentment, regret and unresolved issues.  Notice where the same reactions present each time you encounter certain people.  Move beyond the patterns. Others do not have to understand you for you to be happy. Free yourself from what you thought you needed.  With presence comes compassionate acceptance of who you are.  Give others space to be as they are.  Let go.  Be free.

Notice the mind's distortions

Notice what you use as reason to separate from what enables you to feel good. Notice the excuses you give to perpetuate a situation you do not want. How do you use the perceived loss or lack of things as reason to postpone or deprive self from experiencing dreams? What if you could make another choice to experience the fullness of who you are now?  The non-physical you gains satisfaction through expansion.

Through all choices, the reality you are invites you to feel fulfillment and satisfaction. Why do you not allow yourself to reach for the feeling that exists already? You can stop clinging to what represents security, well-being and approval and choose to experience it where you are.  This is how to move beyond mind's distortions.  Every negative emotion tells you that you are more than you allow yourself to be.
