Reality according to whom?

The experiences you engage in are constructing an ever-changing sense of reality, but reality according to whom?  Ever step back and ask how you got where you are or, ask why you feel as you do? What grabs your attention? It all beckons you to expand vision.

Consider you live based on your perception of reality. The mind tells you its versions of reality grounded in time and space and advises you how to thrive. You also adopt ideas about what people tell you is their reality, heed their advice about how to achieve success, better yourself, or do what you think necessary to feel satisfied or get ahead. You may struggle to clarify a sense of reality that truly matters and has staying power.

As the mind subsides, what is real touches the soul.  Here, you have nothing to learn, and nothing to know. Nothing anyone tells you factors into this.  Its not a version of reality but the way things are.  What the heart knows intuitively prompts you to let go of the unreal, to surrender and accept what you already know when you stop thinking, defining and resisting.  This reality is not what you want it to be.  It is not your story. It reveals itself from the moment you get out of the way.  Allow the unaltered state to be.  It is forever silent and present amidst all the experiences that hijack your attention.

"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." -John Lennon

Take what is given

Everything is present now.  To want more or assume something is missing, is to block what is already given. In essence, you imagine barriers that block the truth of who you are.  You selectively forget.  The mind gets focused on its own dualistic ideas, beliefs and perceptions that come to shape what you see. You are conditioned to view yourself as separate from all others. The more you narrow and compare individual views, the more of reality beyond it is cut off. Instead of taking, you resist what is given

All-the-while, something within longs you to heal any sense of difference. Through the lens of divine love, all is one. Spirit is never confined as mind believes. As you let go of the part of the mind that craves, newer, better, different, or extraordinary experiences, the simple and ordinary are illuminated. Peace and contentment unveil themselves as constant companions. Awareness speaks. Nothing seen through filters has meaning.

"Take all that is given whether wealth, love or language, nothing comes by mistake and with good digestion all can be turned to health." -George Herbert

Be happy no matter what

Notice how external events train the mind unless you see the physical world as it is.  To discover you are awake is to observe thoughts, feelings, the underlying vibrations and expectations. The desire to control subsides.  Choose to feel good no matter what.  Do not allow people to discourage you. Imagine the worst.  Know how you view is always for the best.  

Every moment invites you to be aware of what people and situations you permit to affect you and how.  When emotional reactions arise, they are serving you.  The universe invites you to notice, understand and let go.  Loving inner peace is always yours.

"... the soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears." - Native American Saying

You are remembering

Right now, you are remembering more.  You are sifting through what you are not and awakening to what you are.  You recognize the witness because you know this is you.  The witness of mind tells you the mind is not you.  You are the light that shines its focus on perception of events.  The light intercepts and interprets glimpses of vibration.  You are the essence of being and non-being.  When you feel emotions or inclinations that seem out of character, you may sense an interdimensional bleedthrough of other aspects of yourself.  The essence of being is in more than one place now.  Dimensions are layered.  You are integrating past/future aspects of you.

Move your state of consciousness

Everything has a self identity, an awareness.  Every part of a hologram is also smaller part of the whole. You are a hologram, a droplet of the universal ocean.  As your believe system changes, your life experience changes.  Remember the line from the Matrix: 'It is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.' Go beyond the rules.  When you get into consciousness, shift how you decode vibration, you can overcome illusory laws of physics, and are no longer manipulated by rules of mind. When you know what is wanted, you can see the process and move your state of consciousness.  Details grow more real and palpable through experience.
