Energy loss and awareness
It really is quite remarkable when we begin to consider the vast amounts of energy we consume needlessly. Large amounts of energy are used to sustain our delusions, fantasies and various levels of unawareness. When we are centered and remaining in the moment as much as possible, then our energy flows smoothly from one moment…
No-thing-ness
Everything is revealed when you are still and silent. When the layers of noise (both the audible and the inaudible mind chatter) are removed, one will catch a glimpse of what is real. What is left when there is nothing? No-thing. No-thing-ness. No material thing. What remains is the spiritual being. Things are created in…
Musings
Find your way back to who you were before being carried away. The profoundly acute awareness of a child. Where has it gone? Taken from the center of your being. Realization comes swiftly when you steadfastly stay here now. Footprints only show where you have been. Who you are now is the sum of those…
Me + You = One
Intensity increases and drives me to discover. Passions fuel this movement and are renewed moment by moment. Thunder and lightning leave my senses in wondrous awe and the gentle tapping of rain on the roof top comforts softly while world events provoke and shock. Ideas dance, dazzle and attempt to confound. Mysteries to be solved…
Limitless you or the I in “I am”
Limitless you. Have you realized that yet? Your inner space is infinite. That is the essence of who you are. Go inside and find all that you require. Outside and about you, all is transient and ever changing. People, places and things necessarily coming and going. Your body/mind will necessarily go as well. Here and…
Keep watch
If you don’t face them today, they’ll sneak up on you tomorrow. Better to have a chance at slaying your demons while you can see them. You know who they are. They have you saying “that’s just the way I am” and they’ll dig it if you’re convinced of that. Then they won’t face you…
Forcing change
As you practice present moment awareness there is no doubt that you will see changes, but demanding immediate profound results is evidence of immaturity. Awareness will trigger change in due time. Don’t force change. Forcing and manipulating have actually served to stunt real growth. Here is the dynamic: You are unaware of the resentment you…
The five year plan and the five second plan
With intent one steps forward. With awareness one modifies their step so as to avoid a pothole. This leads one in a slightly different direction. The intent may still be similar, though now the environment has changed. And so it goes. The steps of one’s life are executed constantly often taking one to a point…
Eyes looking inward or outward?
How are you utilizing your eyes? Are they turned inwards or outwards? Are you looking OUT at the world or is it looking IN at you? I mean, do you use your eyes naturally to perceive, identify and navigate your surroundings or do they seem as if they are turned inward? As if the world…
Be like water
Water flows. Water always adapts. Water changes speed and direction in an instant when necessary. Water nurtures. Water joins others like itself to form a greater whole. Water changes its structure according to the environment but its composition never changes. Water adheres to universal laws. Stagnation is not beneficial to you or water. Water has…
