Recognize who you are

One of the most common dreams people share is the desire to work toward and become enlightened. These people admit they wish to love life more, or be more content and at peace.  They pray, aspire to be like Deities, living gurus, deceased masters or ordinary living people they know who just seem to be able to find joy where they are. One of the biggest ah-ha moments one can have relates to the perception of time. 

That is, the mastery of time is like mastering your true self. How you go about this is up to you.  What you perceive begins and ends inside yourself. When you understand psychological time and how it shapes your perception and thought processes, you begin to recognize the nature of this moment and all that is here and accessible to you right now.

Enlightenment is the moment you completely recognize who you are and integrate this heartfelt knowing by living more consciously.  Enlightenment expands as every moment feels fresh and new.  It is like innate goodness is being born and reborn whenever we appreciate the Now. You are the ony thing preventing yourself from being happy where you are.

It is always possible to tune into the energy vibration of basic goodness.  It is alive and flows through our entire being and all of creation.  Human beings are gifted with the ability to raise awareness and experience the warmth of love in infinite ways.  This is the Now from which everything arises and where everything you think you lose disappears. It is simply thought that blocks seeing what is always here. Thought is psychological time, an barrier you create to experience transcendence. True nature transcends time altogether.

8 Ways to experience more joy now

One of the most popular questions asked is what can a person do to experience more joy or happiness sooner? This query arises in the mind to suggest obstacles exist to happiness.  Consider the following ways to experience more joy now;

1) Be aware no word or anything you think you see has meaning except that which you give it

2) Recognize problems do not exist (The only problem is how you are using the mind or how it has been programmed) 

3)  Notice scarcity is just a thought (as are mental patterns that prevent you from seeing things as they are)

4) Realize perceived time is an illusion (everything you want is already here when you see through a pure heart rather than the conditioned mind)

5) Observe all that exists is the eternal now moment — and your experience of this moment is created by the programming in your head. (i.e. what you can have; who you can be, etc.)

6) Be aware feelings of security or insecurity arise due to emotional programming. (it can also be deprogrammed)

7) See happiness and joy are not obtainable from the external world. (This is your core state.)

8) Watch everything from a deep, calm place inside. (Here, thoughts and emotions no longer control you or hijack your attention. Insights are revealed so you flow with the river of life.)

Live life to the fullest now

If living life to the fullest in this moment is possible, what prevents you from doing so? Who or what are you waiting for?

Imagine for a moment, you only ever wait for yourself.  No-body else exists. You are in process of catching up with true Self, that aspect of you in the know, aligned with higher wisdom. It exists in a timeless space. You imagine this pure awareness watches 'you' in silence, all your experiences and aha moments framed in space and time.  Can pure awareness foresee your choices before you make them? Who is really watching whom? Can a watcher watch itself? a fire ignite itself? a light illuminate itself? 

Of course, in truth, separation is illusion, but is fun playing the game or you would not be so engaged in this game of life.  Live your best life now.  Savour every moment. Love everything and recognize you cannot hide from innate wholeness forever.

Savour the moment

From one perspective, the moment we share together passes in the blink of an eye.  From another vantage point, this moment is all that exists.  That which seems to pass disappears in the same moment something new arises.  Everything is self-evident as you inhale and exhale, leaving you breathless.  Savour the moment.  Be the Path.  This journey is a gift you give yourself.  Awareness of time and no-time triggers infinite revelations.  Be awake to true divine nature.

Live the Dream

Ask someone who is living a dream what it feels like.  The person tells you that the description has the less momentum, intensity and realness about it than the experience itself.  Its inevitable.  When you step outside awareness of the moment, it loses something for you are no longer here.

Notice when you love what you are doing, time collapses or you lose a sense of time.  When you do not even like what you are doing, time seems to drag out and the experience lasts far too long.  Time is a gauge.  How much you spend on something reveals an unconscious priority.  Whether you notice time or not also tells you a lot about how real something it for you.  A dream is often viewed as something surreal, something to work toward.  Yet, it is also a feeling or state of being.
