Love brings clarity

Notice love invites us to remove the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we can no longer accept or live within. The path of removing our masks, requires dismantling the life we have come to think is real, tolerating pain, and seeing through our suffering. What makes the journey worth it is we long for reality more than we want to hide inside illusions of those masks. Recall the story of the Golden Buddha. The gold of this buddha was hidden for centuries under simple plaster and clay. It went unnoticed, a reminder it seems natural we develop layers of ego coverings, that we learn ways of hiding, enhancing and ignoring our True Self. When we feel really fearful, the covering gets thicker, more solid. We add layers to what is always here and do not recall the gold. We are identified with the coverings and forget the Truth of Being, our genuineness. Turns out, "real" is not how we are made. Its not our outer coverings symbolized by plaster and clay. Something more formless, intrinsic and pure is awake. As we shine the light of awareness on the plaster coverings, we bring the warmth of love, humor, acceptance to those coverings. This is what melts them so golden authenticity shines through. As we grow more mindful of our patterning (represented by the coverings), we realize the illusion of the anxious, needy, lonely self. It dawns the underlying radiance is more true to who we are than the clay coverings. Wakefulness, openness, creativity, aliveness only shine through as we allow maturity, inner wisdom to reign. The poet Rumi reminds us that is is through love that pain transforms into medicine. We are our own healers that transform into beauty and goodness with perfect timing. We know we are supposed to love ourselves into healing, to face the ego states and love ourselves through it. The most fundamental layer of conditioning is the one that does not recognize the painful coverings are illusions. We hate ourselves for the coverings. We are supposed to love the coverings, the parts of the ego that make it hard to open tour heart to ourselves. When negative emotions arise, we are taught to dislike or hate ourselves, and the master emotion, shame shows its head as if "something is wrong with me/us". Every emotion has its place and can get amplified. We are culturally- rigged with a deep fear of judgement and rejection. Whatever comes up, we come to believe we shouldn't be feeling this way. The core feeling of badness imprisons us in the mind until we are ready to let go of the covering that glues itself to all other coverings. In the stress of life, we forget the subjectivity and realness of each other. The key to being real is to remove layers of conditioning, to listen more attentively to each other. The messages of bad "other" repeat. Shame is exacerbated by cultural caste systems. We are wired to not like our own conditioning and think that is who we are. The healing comes from seeing and loving the conditioning so it can become more transparent though we have an aversion to it. The gold of loving awareness is always available, much like the sun is always here regardless of how many clouds exist in the sky. Through love, all pain and suffering dissolve. Clarity remains.

The Truth cannot be Forced

(Cosmci sacred geometry by Endre Balogh)

Notice the brain is a transceiver of vibrational frequencies. If you are in an energy field that evokes resistance or discomfort, or you attempt to integrate information too quickly, your body may not be able to handle a level of differential frequency. (Imagine the brain as a circuit board, and you do not wish to overload your circuits) The common response is to withdraw or get away from the intense energy source. For example, if music is too loud, you turn volume down or leave the space. A similar thing happens when you are offered levels of "truth" energy you are unable to assimilate. You only receive what you are ready and willing to accept. This is why people are meant to be initiated, receive guided info in progressive stages, in forms they can digest, and also why some people refuse to accept certain info as truth. They may not be ready. More than one process is going on. A self-purification process is necessary to integrate progressively higher vibrations. If the body cannot handle an influx of energy (data differs too much from baseline frequency reference), the body can respond with imbalance, rejection, health issues or other blocks. Hence, it is said one ought to take everything with a grain of salt. If "it" resonates, take it onboard. If not, let it flow in one ear, out the other. If it is meant for you, then you hear it. Layers /levels of Truth cannot be forced. They unfold from inside- out. (Cosmic sacred geometry by Endre Balogh)

Clarity reveals itself

Notice the nature of what you see and experience directly reflects your version of the Truth. Everything you do and do not do is a language expressed as energy in motion. If you see your life as upside down and topsy-turvey, then confusion and vertigo seem very real. As you find balance in the middle of nowhere, then calm abiding grows more accessible. As you begin to expand and appreciate different points of view, then everything is a mirror. As you continue to work out what matters, and stay open to stretch yourself, explore new shores and realize nothing is out of reach.

Reach a New Milestone

Notice as we reach a new milestone, come to the end of something, or feel ready to close a life chapter, the thinking mind would like to clarify what is next, or cling somehow to the familliar. It may seem like such a jungle "out there" and evoke fear and confusion. Looking for clarity and the nature of the game? Go deep inside. Travel inward. Uncover our timeless inner resources. Bravely explore the unknown. See where this winding journey takes us. Spread those wings!

Tune into the Obvious Truth

Notice more often than is often realized, we imagine seeing things and doubt they exist. We are taught to distrust our impressions. We see and yet, we do not always allow ourselves to readily accept what arises naturally. Instead, we are taught to think and feel the unreal to reinforce mental illusions while we silently ignore the real. As consciousness expands, we are invited to let go of assumptions, make room for seeing inwardly. Through the lens of Love, universal Truth is present in all things. As we change from thinking to tuning in, the energy we register expands, and the obvious transforms.
