Khru Bah inspires the unexpected

Inspirational Mentors present in our lives in all shapes and sizes.  They often appear unexpectedly on yoru path, to prompt you to reflect to Transform Your Life.  

Abbot Phra Khru Bah Neua Chai Kositto is a former soldier and Thai boxing champion. In present day, this man finds inner peace in a new role as Buddhist monk.  He is father and mentor to orphaned Thai boys and gives hill tribes hope.  I visited some thai hill tribe people during travels in Thailand near the Burmese border. Invite you to be open to inspiring stories like that of Khru Bah presented in a film called Buddha's Lost Children.

Notice what prompts you to hold certain interests, to pursue certain goals at different life stages.  Every experience is a trigger for revelations and raising awareness of why you do the things yo udo (or not).  

Notice what is important to you changes over time. Priorities shift. As you develop skills and experience, you discover different ways exist to use them. As the observer grows more active, notice what drives you to be self-centred and what allows you to be soul-centred. Notice when and why you feel drawn to travel and when you feel comfortable staying right where you are. Notice at what stages of life people and children or animals become your priorities.

This is the moment to grow more aware of subtle inclinations arising to give more of yourself, to help others. Notice who is behind the impulses to do and be, to give and receive. Everyone you encounter has perfect timing for a life lesson.  Get ready to appreciate what is happening in a whole new way. 

What does it take to transform?

Every moment of your life is what you make of it.  The ego mind tells you to decide what to love, whom to love, when to love, under which conditions to love, how to love and what this really encompasses. The mind also says love transforms your life.  To begin with, you might say love and fear shape everything and nothing ...Yet why speak?

Take this opportunity to reflect on the books, people, choices and circumstances that invite you to step back and see the world from a new vantage point.  Notice what stands out.  Does anything in particular capture your attention at this moment and transform your life? What story or revelation would you like to share? Go on!

"I'm saying look, here they come, pay attention. Let your eyes transform what appears ordinary, commonplace, into what it is, a moment in time, an observed fragment of eternity. " - Philip Levine

Everything is cyclic

As you connect with what drives you on the wheel of success, fear arises in the mind, the thought that any joy or enlightenment you glimpse can also be lost.  Only as you allow yourself to explore your sense of truth and go wherever this truth guides you without resistence, do you truly surrender.  Shift vantage points and see what unfolds in silence.  What happens as you realize that everything, including the personal story and your dream, comes and goes without you? How does it Transform your Life?

You emerge in this body innocent and helpless and leave the body after coming full circle, returning to innocence and helplessness, and opening to degrees of inner-sight. You grow aware that motion is ceaseless and also non-existent. Suddenly, it is very apparent that everything comes and goes. Absolute acceptance of the way things are arises, including who you are, why existence is what it is.  You sense how it feels to be motionless.  Waiting is no more. From the moment, you abandon the wanting, stop fighting yourself, you see more clearly.  Nothing matters.  You no longer seek anything through experience. You are in this world but not of it. The wave of energy is being.

"All motion is cyclic. It circulates to the limits of its possibilities and then returns to its starting point." -Robert Collier, The Secret of the Ages

What if you open your perception?

Wherever you are right now, consider how your perspective shifts as you choose to open to invisible or great mysteries.  Balance and harmony exist inside everyone but sometimes people forget.  How do you empower the self to reconnect with qualities that may hide?

Notice what kinds of symbols and behaviour reinforce and mirror yoru perception.  How is it reflected back?  Being true to your inner essence sometimes requires a process of remembering and forgetting.  Even now, you take steps to transform your life experience.

"Humans see what they want to see.” -Rick Riordan

What blocks you from peace?

You may notice people around you seem serene yet you feel restless. What does this tell you?  The vibration of love is something that emerges from the core of being.  If you are disconnected, being aware of this is the first step to other kinds of recognition.

What happens as you sense perception is leaving out part of the bigger picture here?  Let yourself feel the flow of energy within. Listen to your word choices. Are these kind and compassionate terms grounded in the present tense?  Notice the food and beverages you consume.  How does this eating and drinking impact your thoughts and emotions? If you care for a car, would you run anything other than clean, healthy gas through its engine?

When you think, speak and focus anywhere other than in this moment, you block acess to timeless inner peace.  The truth of who you are exists and unfolds in a timeless realm without constraints even when your focus is not here. You can always shift attention.

Consider limitation only exists in mind. What motivates you to limit where you can go, what you can do, and how you express your true self? Why would you choose to ignore innate peace and contentment? What if you have power to Transform your life?
