Its not good enough to just believe

As long as you believe, you are still searching. The believer aspires to know but does not. They are currently worshiping an idea in their imagination or simply another’s. Their mind and ego must create a counterfeit reality against the truth within them.

If left to our own natural senses and awareness truth would reveal itself with ease. It is the mind and ego trying to create a separate reality from truth that begins the barrier to true knowing. An idea or belief can be worshiped and believed, but that is not the reality of it. 

Silence is golden

Silence is the best teacher because you must search for the truth with something other than your mind. There is nothing to observe or speculate on with the mind. You can’t describe it easily, unless you can begin to be aware of it and feel.

The language of feelings is underrated and in some cases ignored completely. This lack of understanding feelings ignores another important dimension of our experience and abilities. This dimension is the dimension of knowing without thought. It is a direct experience without words or ideas.

Words and ideas can only take you so far and they take you out of your self understanding. They put labels on what you see. Feelings reveal what you know naturally and who you are naturally.

The ego and mind tend to ignore feelings, because they are a basic ingredient of our natural state of being. They are what make us both human and divine in a sense. The ego needs to stand outside feelings, because it will lose its sense of separateness if it doesn't.

Silence brings all things together in your feelings, there is no separation of identity, no you and me. In silence you can be one with the other and in silence all things dissolve into the one. It all begins and ends with us and the silence.

A personal religion

It’s not about predictions. It’s not about techniques. It’s not about man made religions. It’s not about gurus. It’s not about Nostradamus. It’s not about Pope’s and priests. It’s about you and your awareness.

The mind and imagination can create all manner of possible outcomes to a situation, but for you the only thing that really matters is your truth in your awareness. Awareness is yours and not someone else’s; it does not require you to believe anything. You cannot be deceived by the words of another.

The New Age, Astrology, Psychic and Paranormal interests, and all forms of occult (hidden) interest have become religions and a new curiosity for the mind, the imagination and the ego. They can speak silently to the reality of your inner world, but they can also be a distraction from it. You can go in circles with these things or you can choose to go to the heart and soul of the issue and that is your awareness.

Your feelings are the golden key to you and your awakening, not opinions, ideas and outdated legends in the mind and ego. Simple awareness is felt as a knowing within. It is the counterpart to the mind which thinks. Freedom is when you know within whom you are and you no longer have to believe in another or what they are selling you.

Your awareness comes from within you and nowhere else. It is the most personal religion of your conscious being. It is a communion between you alone and the universe where ideas and opinions do not exist. Belief does not exist; in fact it is not possible because the mind is not there.

You are finally and truly free, because your identity has moved from an idea of who you are to the reality in knowing who you are. The mind has no response for that.

Teach them to feel

If you want to change the world and prevent the madness, teach the children about their feelings so they will respect and understand them.

While you are educating their minds, you must also educate their hearts. Stop glorifying violent action and praise the tender-hearted innocence of children.

Teach them it is okay to be afraid, to feel confused, and to cry. Help them understand that it is okay to be who they are and as they are without judgment or criticism.

Teach them that they possess all the answers and not to judge what they feel, but only see it as a doorway to discovering who they are.

Cherish the uniqueness within them and by all means allow them to fail, because true learning comes from failure. Allow them to bond within again to eternity while it is still fresh within their awareness.

Do not pound the magic out of them with rules, commandments, and regulations that are poison to their innocence.

Do not drive them away from the source of their inspiration or the love of self within them. When you drive a child away from all that is good and true within them, you isolate them from the very best part of who they are and who they can become.

Do not distort reality through perversion of their imagination with false hopes, or the borrowed dreams of others. Let them respect who they are without fear of reprimand or judgment.

Above all, do not break their spirit, because they did not pass a test or remember all the presidents. What does that have to do with life?

If you do not teach a child to love themselves early, or to feel and recognize the love within them, they will make a lifetime of errors in judgment. This begins when they forget how to feel and only think.

The miracle within you

When all is lost, you still have you. When your body begins to fail you, you still have you. When your mind begins to falter or torture you, you still have you. Nothing can touch you, if you know where to find yourself. The world can end, but it will not touch you.

You are not your thoughts or your body. You are not the events that occur in your life. You are not the ego, mind or imagination. You are not the one that prays or meditates; you are not your worries or fears. You are not the emotions that pound the beaches of your mind. You are life.

Life exists in a trillion places as the truth of existence. It takes many forms, but it itself is formless. It exists beyond time and space as the one true reality. You are life and you are forever, but you need to find that place within you where you identify with nothing at all.

Silence is the key that opens the door to you. It is silence that identifies with nothing and only enjoys the presence of being. It is the timeless state of knowing that reveals the true nature of you. It is through awareness that you will encounter the one and only miracle of existence and that is you.

There are no secrets

There are no secrets in the universe, nothing is hidden. Awareness reveals all that can be known and is true for you and others. It is a subtle trick of the ego to make you believe that mysteries exist and that life is too complex and mysterious for anyone to comprehend. It is the old child’s game of “ I got something you don’t have” in which a person or a group tries to gain control of another by manipulating the curiosity or ignorance of another.

The mind and ego make you think there are secrets because so much of you is hidden behind them. It is the sense of something is missing that makes you think it is hidden.  Awareness reveals what appears to be missing to the mind and ego.

Where are we headed?

Our beliefs are what are killing us. The current fascination with the end of the world is not a literal end of the world, but a possible end to our dependence and addiction to old beliefs. Life as it is being presented to us will not continue to support the lofty dreams and goals that we are programmed to obey and manifest. We will have to look deeply at ourselves and ask where we are headed.

The fantasy’s and goals sold to us nightly on tv and in our schools and universities will be examined more closely to see if the end result truly brings meaning to our lives. We will not be able to hide from ourselves any longer within the mind and imagination. It will not be just enough to fake it and get by for a lifetime.

The current master dream born from the minds of businessmen and supported by governments is not bringing us closer to peace and fulfillment, but rather despair, hatred and violence. Having more is not the answer, being much more within is.

Snap decisions

The truth is seldom revealed because of snap decisions. In our minds we are quick to judge ourselves and others before we examine the facts. It is the nature of the mind and ego to pass judgment on ourselves and others.

Imagination builds on this and creates a false and temporary reality in which we believe something to be true, but in reality it is a fabrication of the mind, your emotions, the ego and imagination.

Because the mind and ego need to be in control and the emotions are desperately seeking a consolation, they will accept as true what is in fact a fabrication of misinformation.  This is how horrible things happen to people and between them.  Emotion, Imagination, Mind and ego all conspire to create a false reality in which they feel they are right or in control, but they are far from the land of truth and reality.

To feel is to know

To feel is to know, because the truth is not an idea, but a living element within consciousness. It does not have to be recalled and remembered, it simply appears as an aspect of your being within you. In the beginning you become aware of it, you see it within your being as living but it feels far away from the reality of your day to day consciousness. It is present always, but it seems to fade in and out. Little by little you embrace it and over time you will become it, but you must trust the universe and be patient to reveal it when it is time.

Slipping Away

It’s slipping away, can you feel it? Another year gone by, another generation is approaching the end of its influence on earth. The 60’s generation is rounding third base and heading home. The world waits to see if the Mayans were right or if this is just another example of Chicken Little screaming the sky is falling.

Needless to say what came in with a bang is going out with a whisper. The world is weary once again for changes and new products keep rolling out to tickle the imagination and drain the pocketbook. Everyone is busy celebrating, drinking in the emotions of the season and becoming intoxicated on the fumes of past memories. Wanting to forget the bad and hold onto the good.

Life is filled with anxieties. Like a child lost in a mall or a large store we desperately seek for the comfort of home or familiar people. We desperately want to feel safe and secure.

When will we go home, when will we find that resting place within our awareness and rest. Is it this year or maybe the next?

Your journey home

Your life is a pathless journey that will lead you home, if you allow it. In each conflict is a message, and in every crisis, an answer. Allow your life to lead and teach you. Trust it and trust the events that unfold before you. Do not seek to avoid or escape, nor hide from the reality of it. Face yourself squarely and feel. Allow those feelings to reveal what you are currently creating and whether you find pleasure or suffering in it.

You are not aware of the connection between your experiences, beliefs and feelings, because you are still asleep. Your emotions are the clouds of the storm that block the sun. Your wisdom is with you, but you do not trust it yet, nor see the connection between within and without. You fear the world may be against you or merely an idea of God and the universe. You are not ready to see that it's only you who is against you.

You are creating the life you are living, but you are not yet conscious of it. Your mind and ego will fight to keep it hidden from you. You have only to trust in your heart -- that is where you will find your GPS for home …

Happy Holidays,
Robert and CJ

Who will you be?

It’s more important to ask the question of who will you be, then to ask what you will do. Most people are brought up with the question as to what they will do with their lives. It implies that you are not good enough as you are and that you must look outside to find some meaning or verification for your being here.

It is the beginning of slavery to the system where you must find something to do with your life and it is a waste of time to just be who you are within. You as an individual have nothing special to offer life; you are better off following the herd down the well-trodden path and get it over with. It is the point where we hand the keys of our life over to society and play the game.

It is where we lose our way and become disillusioned with life and ourselves. We buy into the idea life is a struggle and not a joy to be experienced. Now you feel that you have to survive at all costs and you can no longer trust life or yourself. You have descended from a place of infinite possibilities to become one of the herd that produces milk and waits for your caregivers to feed and direct you. You have lost your dignity as a special child of the universe and you are no longer a creator, but simply cattle that eats, defecates and produces milk on time. You are no longer guided from within, but by others who think they know what is best for you and you agree. It is the same old story over and over,” Resistance is futile, you must comply.”

Almost Broken

It’s in the deep anguish of your losses, failures and defeats that you feel the essence within you of who you are. Not until you have been stripped of all that the ego uses to hide you in a false identity do you feel the love, joy and peace of the real you. It is often at the point where you are almost broken that you feel who you are and awaken from your sleep. Do not fear your life or yourself when it seems that all is lost, because it is then that all is discovered and you are reborn.

No followers allowed

If you have to follow someone else, you are on the wrong path.  Awareness is not a path, but an awakened knowing and a personal truth that rises from within your consciousness. It is as simple as that, if you are following a group, a media guru, an inspired teacher or a so-called master you are out of touch with the source of your direct connection to your personal truth and being. It is not wrong to do this, but the results are often disappointing and borrowed knowledge or borrowed experiences are only going to satisfy the ego and mind and not the heart or soul.

Metaphysical mumbo-jumbo

Awareness is not based on legends but on the direct experience of your consciousness. Many beliefs are based on legends and so have the various religions and secret spiritual groups been spawned. The ego and mind love a mystery and hope to solve it through external examination and investigation, but your awareness is a self-discovery brought about by your self-exploration of you. Do not become captivated by the stories and legends of old or idea’s about the origins of things, they are a trick of the ego to divert you away from the discovery of your own awareness and truth. Fascination with channeled material, spiritual theory, old cultures and legends are not wrong, unless you seek the truth in them and not within yourself.

The mystery of your truth

Truth cannot be experienced through words, not even aware words. What you feel is a reflection within you of the existence of the truth within you. It is a reminder of home and the identity within you that is real and lasting. It is the scent of the formless truth about you. Let the feeling of aware words sink deep into your consciousness and awaken the marvelous being that you are. Let them reveal your truth and guide you along your way. Never see them as the answer, but as a mystery rising within you and begging to be revealed.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Most religions and some spiritual groups are an exercise in the imagination where people imagine that they have powers and abilities simply because they believe. They believe that something has been done or will be done for them simply because they believe. This is simply not so. The mind, imagination and beliefs can create a false identity in which it appears a change has occurred, but in truth it has not.

Change only occurs and lasts when you move from the mind, imagination and believing to knowing. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and that is what the mind is. It mimics, makes copies and tries to look like the real thing, but it is not. You will never know true reality if you create it in your mind and imagination.

The feeling of awareness

Awareness is the removal of all beliefs and the manifestation of love alone. It is wholeness without the illusion of time, space or tradition. It is simple being, existing in the present moment and eternity all at once. You are not supported by the mind and ego, because they are gone for the moment. All that exists is you in a natural state of being, purified of the clutter of mind and ego and feeling the wholeness of existence running through you as if you have no boundaries. It is the joy of being alive because your limited identity has transformed into the unlimited reality of existence.

Seek to empower, not power

Great leaders speak to the hope and fears of the masses. They touch a need and provide a solution that is longed for. The danger comes when they seek power, rather than to empower. When they take the burden of the masses on their shoulders and promise to lead them out of trouble with little responsibility upon the masses for where they are. It is dangerous to lead others and not make them responsible for their lives. When the leader seeks power to control they risk leading everyone down a path of peril and destruction in which all pay a price.

To empower is far better than to seek power. One builds up the egos in a massive deception of all concerned and the other hits at the source of the problem, personal responsibility. Anyone who seeks power, rather than to empower is headed for disaster.

Just be you

You don’t have to be a star; you just need to be you. So many put energy into creating an image that they think will attract others to them and their work, but it is not the image that attracts sincere seekers.  It is the authentic energy of your awareness that touches them deeper than any image can impress. You do not direct awareness, it directs you. You do not sell it at will; it calls the shots always and is in harmony with the greater good of all. You are a servant to your awareness and not its master. You have no power with it unless you are willing to surrender to it totally.

Value

What is your value? Have you ever asked yourself what you mean to the world and others? To your family and friends you may be a reflection of many colors that brighten up their lives and touch their hearts with a warm ray of acceptance. You are a piece of the pie of existence that fills their hearts, hearts yearning for more than a dull existence.

The ego and mind make it very difficult to know our worth because they measure it in dollars, fame and by comparing you to others striving for the same things. These people spend a great amount of time reinventing the wheel and in some cases use deception to get your attention and your vote. They speak words with high moral and ethical content, which they believe, but many do not know personally. They tell you what you want to hear and have been lead to believe, even if it is not good for you or true.

The sad part is that you know it’s not true, but you play along anyway. Your fear and ego are not aware of anything else better. You silently go along with the masses, even though everything within you says “wrong”. You feel the burden of knowing a change is needed, but also the despair of not knowing how.

You do not know your worth, because you do not know you. You do not realize how much your thoughts, feelings, ideas, or words may mean to others. You struggle along like a robot in a factory assembly line because you don’t feel alive anymore. You can only know your true worth to yourself and others when you dare to speak with an awakened heart from a compassionate soul that knows you are much more valuable than you think. Never underestimate your value to a world hungry for the truth and hearts unafraid to speak it, share it and live it.

No where else

Fear of the unknown brings a strong reaction. Anger is something we all carry below the surface within us as a result of the mind and ego. Neither wants to surrender, neither wants to die to the greater being within us all. The deeper the fear, the harder the edge we carry within us. A shell of distrust envelopes us over time. The joy of living is replaced by imaginary dangers and villains that wait in the dark to mug or steal from us. All of this is created within us individually by failing to encounter fear within us and see that it really exists nowhere else but there. Your mind will and can make you into what you believe, but it will not be the truth of who you really are.

The touch of love

Love begets more love. When you share the love within you and it is returned a reflection of the divine sparkles within you. Something deep and beyond the mind is touched and you are bonded in a special connection of grace and truth. You may feel a part of you that you never thought existed or even hoped to share with another. Love’s beauty on the inside is that it reveals truthfully the deepest nature of our true identity and being when we risk giving it to others. It unlocks the well of compassion, grace and inner beauty we all possess. To be touched by genuine love is to unlock the potential within us all and remind us of the goodness and grace we all possess within.

Fear and abandonment

As you move to fuller awareness fear and abandonment are issues that you must confront and overcome. Fear is the result of an ego and mind losing control over your present identity and abandonment is a trick of the mind and ego to convince you that you will fail if you persist in following your heart and awareness. It is a great test and together both fear and abandonment can stop or halt your progress altogether. Fear and abandonment are blurs on the clarity of your awareness. They make it difficult for you to know or see clearly what you are becoming aware of. They prevent an ease of transition from control to surrender and the knowing of awareness.

Its out of your control

The misery of life can be summed up in one word, “control”.  Control is an attempt by the mind and ego to establish dominance over a situation, or a person. It is a refusal to accept what IS and allow the situation to just BE.  It is a refusal to work within our feelings, and the need for the ego to establish control with the mind.

All of your life pivots on a fulcrum of the moment of NOW balancing between the opposites of thought and feelings. In the NOW, thoughts and feelings unite to manifest a whole you, not a mental you vs. a feeling you.

In your mind, you have to establish plans and goals to achieve your dreams and purposes, many of which you have no control over.  But with the heart, manifestation is effortless when you work in harmony with life and the greater good of all. There is no struggle, or the pain of conflict. Your life flows from you from moment to moment and into each situation, as it presents itself to you and reveals the next opportunity to grow and discover who you are.

Many seek to establish their spirituality within the imagination, not through the school of inner encounter with themselves. They hope to walk around the buried fear, pain and sorrow and pretend it is not there. Little do they understand that these issues are what prevent a fuller and richer revelation of self within their consciousness.

Do not avoid pain, sorrow, fear and grief.  Embrace them and feel them within yourself. They are the way your ego controls the manifestation of your awareness by blocking it with strong emotions and intense feelings. It is why these experiences feel like a death.  You have to surrender control of the ego and mind and allow the natural wisdom of your being to guide you inwardly to an understanding of the nature of reality as it pertains to you.

Control is the way we avoid an authentic encounter within ourselves and the universe and give support to a life of illusion and bondage. It is our choice and we must choose between the two.

The beauty within you

Those who have true power must give it away or back to the source from which it came. True power cannot be accumulated and stored in the hands of any one person, which is not true power, but food for the ego.  You are not powerful because of the number of those who admire you, but by the number of those you have helped to achieve their own power and self-love through their own awareness. It is very unloving to yourself to admire anyone more than the beauty within you. Self-love is discovering the beauty within you, even though it may seem to come from another.

What Are Awareness and Duality?

I was thinking this morning, if my grandson, Jack, (five), asked me about Duality and Awareness, how would I explain it to him, so he would understand? Awareness, especially Duality, is something hard for even grownups to understand...

I think it would go, something like this:

First, Jack, like you already know, we cannot be in two places at the same time. If mommy goes to the grocery and you stay home, you are only at home. Even though you would like to be with mommy at the grocery, you are only in one place -- you are home.

Before we were born, we were a part of a huge universe (home) and we were perfect there. We were pure energy and love and we had no limits put on us, so we were "limitless".

When we were born, we became a physical being (a body) that walks, talks, and breathes air.

How do we KNOW this?

Well, because in being born, we also were given a mind. The mind is like a tool and it allows us to think. Our mind tells us this idea we have, about being a person (a being), is correct, so we believe it as something true.

"We think we are, so we are."

We can't know anything about the world around us, or about being a person (a being), unless we think about it first, with our mind -- see, Jack, our mind is always thinking, because it thinks about everything.

Awakening and Awareness:

Each of us has the ability to go back home, back to where we were, before being born, to feel the energy and the love and to know and remember everything we only forgot, most especially, who our real and perfect self really is. We can do this by being aware, by remembering everything again.

The one thing that gets in the way of doing this is the mind. While the mind is a good thing and a necessary thing to have, it also puts "limits" on who we "think" we are, as well as, what we "think" we can do. Sometimes, the mind just gets in the way with all of its the limits it puts on us

So, while we are becoming aware, (going home again, by remembering), we are also learning how to make our mind be silent and stop thinking, so it won't tell us we can't go home to remember.

We cannot get back to the perfect us that is pure energy and love, and all of our memories of who we really are, if the mind is in the way. We just cannot be in two places at the same time.

It is not a contest

No one knows the whole truth, few know their truth. It is beyond all ideas, theories and conjecture.  To make absolute statements of truth is not possible. The best we can do is experience our truth and share it. In awareness we may experience our truth or an aspect of it, but it is not necessarily the truth of another. That is for them to experience and discover.

Awareness reveals your truth and that truth may touch the hearts of others, but it is never a commandment or ABSOLUTE for everyone. The universe is vast in its experiences and in its freedom to express itself. Whispers are not the absolute truth of anything, only a reminder of the memories we carry within us of who we are becoming and have been. Awareness is not a contest where the universe stamps a gold star on your head for the correct answer.

Weep for the child to be reborn within

Remember a time when you wept deeply and maybe bitterly because you lost someone or something that you cherished deeply and after the weeping you felt clean and free of the pain, sorrow and torment of mind. That is what it feels like when you awaken to the reality of you. No distortion of self exists, no unconscious garbage to block the rays of your beauty and innocence. You experience the nature of existence within you and the reality of you at once. It is the clearest and cleanest moment you will ever feel within this body and it is a promise of what will come.

Cherish the moments when you can’t take it anymore or your heart feels like it will burst from the pain, it is then that you know the meaning of full surrender and the fullest revelation of you. Do not be afraid to weep again for the child within to be born again.

Awareness unfolds naturally

You create your reality when you become aware of what that is. To follow one’s heart you must know what that is. Your awareness reveals the heart of you to you. Till that time you think you know and understand what that is or means, but you don’t. You may spend years guessing, thinking and trying, but the results are futile. Not until you give fully over to the autopilot of awareness and surrender your thoughts and desires will it manifest itself through you. Then it unfolds effortlessly, naturally and in its own time and not yours. It unfolds gracefully and naturally like flowers blooming in the spring.

You do not force it like plans or goals to be met, you become the reality in consciousness and then you embody it effortlessly in time and space. Your reality is not like a title or a position or a job, but a living presence of evolved awareness in a physical form.

Until the time is right, relax!

Until you can support yourself on your awareness and its application in your life you have to exist in two worlds. One is an awakening awareness that blossoms over time and the other is the physical needs of the mind , ego and body. You must balance the two until the time comes where a clear direction and path or opportunity are indicated by the universe. You will know it, because you will have no other choice but to see it within. There is no hurry , allow your life to unfold through all the joys and pain of existence. You cannot miss your destination my friend, because you are not in control of it, the universe is.

How do you feel?

To receive your own whispers, stop what you are thinking and feel. Stop right now, as you read this, and check within. What do you feel? How do you feel? Can you write it down?  Do you dare to explore it in depth? This is you; about to begin the most fascinating journey you will ever go on, the journey within.

Many times you come to the cliff where thought stops and your feelings begin, but your training in thought has stopped you. The ego and mind have said it is not important.

Waves of emotions have tried to push you over this cliff, but addictions of various kinds may have forestalled it. You may have escaped into your career, a person, a drug, or your imagination, but you have never gone into you.

It is safe to go there.  No one is pushing or, analyzing you. You are in charge, all the way home. Take little steps at first and see. You can go as far and as deep as your courage will permit you. Be prepared to discover some pretty amazing things and, as time goes by, you will feel encouraging whispers assisting you along the way. Some call them revelations; others call them intuitions. It does not matter what they are called, what matters is, you begin to realize the truth in them and you also realize this wisdom is yours and no one else’s -- you are not as ignorant, or lost, as you once thought.  You just did not know where to look and now you do.

Don’t be afraid.  It is a journey that takes time, but the more you ask yourself each day,” How do you feel, or what are you feeling?” the closer to home you will be.

No more leaders

The purpose of your awakening and awareness is not to make you a special person; it is to make you a natural person, a fully conscious person. It is your ideas about an awakened person that can confuse and mislead you in your understanding. There is nothing special about being aware. To honor another’s awareness is to project your power upon them and diminish your own value and worth as a human being. Do not assume that any awakened person has the answers for you. They simply echo the self that you have yet to attain within your own awareness. Do not let the seduction of another’s awareness cause you to diminish your own.  Only when there are no more leaders and each soul takes responsibility for their awakening can we all enter a glorious tomorrow as true equal beings of light.

Th gift of awareness

The greatest gift that you can offer others is to touch their hearts with awareness. No one can make anyone aware, but because awareness speaks to the heart and soul within us all you can remind them of what is waiting inside. The important thing is that the messenger never becomes more important than the message of awareness. For too long the cult of adoration has mislead the vulnerable into troubled waters, because the messenger became as influential as the message. You do not draw attention to yourself unnecessarily if you are aware and if possible prevent others from making you into something you are not. You share and you move on like a ghost in a house that can be felt but not seen. Their presence is unmistakable to you but others may never see them. You help others to remember and then you leave them to remember more on their own.

Guilt is expensive

Religious organizations would not have any wealth without the ideas of hell and judgment. People tend to appreciate the truth and healing but are shy at paying for it. They feel that something that simple must not be worth paying for, so their value of it is less than the religious church goer.  Fear of hell, fire and damnation  are needed to appeal to the ego of a religious person and because of guilt, that is applied cunningly by an organization they feel that maybe money will buy them some special pardon from their sins. Peace of mind costs very little when truth is realized, but guilt costs over and over in a lifetime if you buy into it.

No Big Deal

Awareness is not something special. It is not unusual or out of the ordinary. It is the natural result of deciding to feel and feel deeply before you think. It is permitting your body and your feelings to speak to you and even through you before you utter a word or make a statement. It is incorrect to assume that an aware person has some grace or is more worthy than others. The mind at times tends to glorify experiences that it cannot explain and the ego makes the simple and natural seem complex and only attainable to the special or the gifted. Do not buy it! Your awareness is waiting for you when you place your attention towards your feelings and your guidance is there also. Take notice of how you feel and you are already there.

The nature of truth

Truth is a byproduct of our freedom. When you are free of ideas, commandments, laws, regulations and policies then you are innocent again and free from the pollution of the mind. Your awareness will blossom into a natural unfolding of your true nature and the realization that you have been hiding within yourself. Truth is never learned, it is realized within you as the core nature of your being and existence. It is an instantaneous and spontaneous revelation and realization of yourself within the greater self of existence.

Thoughts vs Feelings

Thoughts reveal ideas, feelings reveal life. Thought permits the communication of ideas; feelings allow life to be experienced in all its depth and understood. One is the expression of knowledge and the other is a transmission of knowing. Thought is a way to manipulate material existence, feelings are the only way to understand yourself and know what is true.

The courage to be aware

Until you have the courage to speak and live your truth nothing will change. Until you listen to the whispers within you and follow them no new direction is possible. Nobody has the answer but you and no one else can lead you there. It is not great social or political change that will bring a new dawn to mankind, but the awakening of the heart within each of us. Love as the core expression of existence is multifaceted and the moment we duplicate the actions of others it ceases to guide us as individuals.

Your freedom as an individual is not the result of someone else’s actions, policies, beliefs or laws, but your trust within self and the realization that your life is self-created by you and the conscious and unconscious choices you have made.

To know yourself, to reclaim your power is to dance to the rhythm of existence and create your own life as a unique expression of your being. It is bringing new ways, insights and moments filed with joy and life for yourself and others. It is coming from the power and truth of your being and not acting on the ideas, beliefs and opinions of others. It is authentic life living through you as truth in the moment and not carbon copies of ideas or the ways of others. It is not rebelling against what is, but showing that there is another way, a better way to do things that maybe others have never considered or felt.

The Seven Principles of True Power: Part III

THE FIFTH PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS HONEST

REFLECTION.IF YOUR LIFE IS WORKING THEN YOU ARE IN SYNC WITH
THE UNIVERSE.IF YOUR LIFE IS NOT WORKING,THEN YOU ARE NOT IN
SYNC WITH THE UNIVERSE.MANY PEOPLE LIVE LIVES LESS THEN
SATISFYING,BECAUSE THEY LIE TO THEMSELVES ABOUT THEIR
CAREER,MARITAL STATUS,AND LIFESTYLE.FEAR GUIDES THEIR LIVES
AND GENERAL DISTRUST OF THEMSELVES CAUSES SUFFERING BECAUSE
OF A LACK OF WILLINGNESS TO TAKE TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR LIVES.WHEN YOU FEAR TO KNOW YOURSELF,THEN ALL YOU
CREATE IS ILLUSIONS TO LIVE BY.ALL ILLUSIONS PASS WITH
TIME .

TRUE POWER IS KNOWING WHO YOU ARE AND BEING WHO YOU ARE
WITHOUT JUDGEMENT.IT IS A CONNECTION TO YOUR HEART AND SOUL
THAT ALLOW THE HIGHER PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE TO MANIFEST IN
YOUR LIFE;THEREBY CAUSING HEALING.


HEALING IS THE RIGHT USE OF POWER.WHEN YOU CAN LIVE AND
FORGIVE,THEN WILL YOU HEAL AND YOUR POWER WILL BE RESTORED
IN TOTALITY.


UNTIL YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE AND OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO
FORGIVE ALL THAT APPEARS TO HAVE OFFENDED YOU.YOU WILL NOT
KNOW THE PEACE,THE POWER AND THE MARVELOUS MIRACLE OF LOVE
THAT YOU ARE.

THE SIXTH PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS GRATITUDE.TO BE
GRATEFUL FOR ALL THAT HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE.EACH SITUATION IS
A REFLECTION OF THE BELIEFS YOU CARRY WITHIN.EACH CRISIS
SHOWS WHERE YOU ARE USING YOUR POWER AGAINST
YOURSELF.GRATITUDE IS THE CURE FOR SELF PITY AND THE HEALING
BALM FOR DEPRESSION.GRATITUDE OPENS THE HEART.

THE SEVENTH AND FINAL PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS SELF
LOVE.YOU ARE THE CREATORS OF YOUR LIVES AND YOUR FUTURE.IT
IS UP TO YOU TO LOVE YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE AND TO LOVE YOUR
DREAMS INTO EXISTENCE.WE CANNOT FORCE YOU TO DO THAT,BUT
WAIT ON THE FRINGES OF YOUR REALITY TO WELCOME YOU HOME.

Tears filled Zevon's eye's as he read the last
sentence.He was going home.He had his family back.But he
also knew that their was another home that we all are
seeking.That home is in our hearts.


To all those who read these words the universe says:


IT IS TIME TO COME HOME;PLEASE COME HOME.

The Seven Principles of True Power : Part II

        THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS HUMILITY.NOT PIOUS
         SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS,BUT THE AWARENESS THAT SOMETHING GREATER
         WITHIN IS NEEDED TO BE TURNED TO FROM TIME TO TIME TO SOLVE
         THE PROBLEM'S OF LIFE.A REALIZATION THAT BASICALLY WE ALL
         ARE AFRAID AND TROUBLED AND IN NEED OF HELP BEYOND OUR
         NORMAL CONSCIOUS AWARENESS FROM TIME TO TIME.THE DESIRE TO
         SERVE THE UNIVERSE WITH OUR OWN SPECIAL GIFTS,UNDER THE
         GUIDANCE OF SPIRITUAL FORCES.THE KNOWING THAT EACH PERSON IN
         OUR LIFE REFLECTS THE BELIEFS WE HOLD SUBCONSCIOUSLY
         WITHIN.THEY ARE THE MIRRORS OF OUR SOUL.WE OWE THEM OUR LOVE
         AND FORGIVENESS.


         THE SECOND PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS
         COMMITMENT.COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF.IF YOU DO NOT LOVE AND
         KNOW YOURSELF,YOU WILL NEVER CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY.TO LOVE
         YOURSELF IS TO LOVE THE SOUL THAT YOU ARE AND EXPRESS YOUR
         LIFE THRU THAT SOUL.YOU MUST LET GO OF THE CRUTCHES IN YOUR
         LIFE AND SURRENDER TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL.WE ALL HAVE
         ONLY ONE LOVER IN OUR LIVES THAT IS TRUE,IMMORTAL AND
         INFINITE;THAT IS THE SOUL.ALL OTHER LOVERS ARE REFLECTIONS
         OF LEVELS OF GROWTH TO BE ATTAINED AND TRANSCENDED.I AM NOT
         SAYING YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE LOVERS,BUT PUT THEM IN TRUE
         PERSPECTIVE AND LOVE YOUR SOUL.IT WILL LOVE YOU BACK
 

         THE THIRD PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS
         SACRIFICE.SACRIFICE THE RATIONAL AND INTELLECTUAL MIND FOR
         THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOUL.THE SOUL SEE'S WITHOUT TIME.IT
         KNOWS WITHOUT SPACE.TO SACRIFICE THE MIND TO THE SOUL IS TO
         BE IN STEP WITH THE UNIVERSE.WE ARE ALL PART OF THE
         UNIVERSAL MIND.BUT THE EGO(MIND) CANNOT SENCE THAT
         GREATNESS-ONLY THE HEART.THE HEART ALONE CAN ONLY
         BELIEVE.WHEN WE PLACE OUR MIND OR RATIONAL LIFE INTO THE
         HANDS OF THE HEART,SOMETHING WONDERFUL HAPPENS.WE STOP
         STRUGGLING AND WHEN YOU DO THAT,YOU SEE WHY YOU ARE WHERE
         YOUR AT AND CAN HEAR HOW TO GET OUT OF YOUR
         DILEMA.KNOWLEDGE IS POWER;BUT NOT RATIONAL KNOWLEDGE,TRUE
         POWER COMES FROM YOUR HEART.


         THE FOURTH PRINCIPLE OF TRUE POWER IS
         AWARENESS.AWARENESS IS THE HEARTS ABILITY TO WORK WITH THE
         UNIVERSE AND NOT AGAINST IT.YOU MAY HAVE A GREAT IDEA AND
         LOT'S OF MONEY,BUT WITHOUT AWARENESS OF WHAT THE UNIVERSE
         WANTS;FAIL MISERABLY.AWARENESS COMES FROM SURRENDERING TO
         THE ULTIMATE GUIDANCE OF THE HEART.

The Seven Principles of True Power : Part I

                 SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF TRUE POWER


         Zevon slowly rolled open the old parchment.Excitement
         filled his heart;as he wondered what it was about.He
         adjusted his position in the seat to get comfortable and
         began to read.

         "TO THOSE WHO LONG TO ESCAPE THE SHACKLES OF THEIR MIND AND LEARN THE FREEDOM OF THEIR HEARTS.WE THE BEINGS OF LIGHT AND LOVE OFFER TO YOU THESE PRINCIPLES."


         Their was a space of about an inch on the parchment and
         then the writing continued.


         "POWER TO MOST OF YOU IS AN EXTERNAL AND OBJECTIVE THING.IN YOUR FUTURE TO COME HOWEVER,POWER WILL BE MORE SUBTLE AND FAR MORE SUBJECTIVE.


         FEAR IS THE MOTIVATION FOR POWER;AS YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED IT.THE EGO(MIND)SEPARATE FROM THE SOUL;FEARING FOR IT'S EXISTENCE,EVER STRIVES TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE TO IT'S ADVANTAGE.THE EGO DOES NOT REALIZE THAT IT HAS CREATED THIS AND CAN JUST AS EASILY CREATE FROM LOVE OR FAITH.


         CHOICE IS AT THE HEART OF POWER.YOU HAVE NOT CHOSEN POWER,BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN INTO AN ENERGY FIELD THA SUPPORTS A BELIEF IN LACK OF POWER.THE GRAND ILLUSION OF YOUR LIVES IS THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE POWERLESS AND ALONE;WHEN IN FACT YOU HAVE ALL THE POWER YOU NEED TO CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT.YOU MUST DECIDE THAT YOU DESERVE IT AND CLAIM IT BACK.


         THE PATH OF POWER IS YOUR HEARTS.THAT WHICH YOU LOVE AND DREAM TO BE IS IN ESSENCE YOUR SOUL'S DESIRE FOR YOU.FOLLOW IT AND YOU WILL RELEASE YOUR SOUL,YOUR TRUE IDENTITY AND YOUR POWER.


         THE UNIVERSE IS NOT RUN BY HAPHAZARD RULES THAT SERVE NO PURPOSE.IT IS NOT A JOKE OR MISTAKE THAT YOU FORGOT YOUR POWER,BECAUSE THE HEART OF POWER REQUIRES THAT YOU REALIZE ONE IMPORTANT KEY TO YOUR JOURNEY BACK TO YOURSELF.THAT KEY IS THAT YOU MUST LOVE TO GIVE YOUR SOUL'S LOVE IN SERVICE TO HUMANITY.


         POWER IS NOT GIVEN BY THE UNIVERSE TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE PEOPLE.THAT POWER COMES FROM MEN FEARFUL OF BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY THEIR FELLOW MAN.TRUE POWER COMES FROM DEEP INSIDE THE SOUL AND SERVES TO ENLIGHTEN AND HEAL ALL IT TOUCHES.THERE IS NO NEED TO MANIPULATE OR CONTROL,BECAUSE EGO FEAR IS REPLACED BY THE LOVE OF YOUR SOUL.


         TRUTH IS THE EXPRESSION OF YOUR SOUL'S LOVE ON THE EARTH PLANE.THEREFORE,TRUTH IS SUBJECTIVE AND PERSONAL.YOUR TRUTH IS NOT ANOTHER'S TRUTH.THEREFORE,YOUR POWER MAY NOT MANIFEST LIKE ANOTHER.YOUR PURPOSE AND THE PURPOSE OF ANOTHER IS NOT THE SAME.


         YOU ARE COMING TO A TIME WHEN INDIVIDUAL SELF EXPRESSION WILL TAKE A TURN FOR THE BETTER.AS YOUR PEOPLE TURN THEIR EGO'S IN FOR THE POWER OF THEIR SOUL'S DIRECTION.THEY WILL BEGIN TO RECLAIM THEIR POWER AND CREATE THEIR OWN LIFE AND REALIZE IT IS OK TO BE THEMSELVES.


         THE HEART OF POWER IS GUIDED BY SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF TRUE POWER THAT DEFINE AND MONITOR IT'S EXPRESSION.EACH WITHOUT THE OTHER IS USELESS,BUT TOGETHER,THEY FORM A CHAIN THAT BALANCES THE EXPRESSION OF POWER WITH IT'S SOURCE OF INCEPTION.

Beyond the mind

You do not sense the beyond with your mind, because the mind is not a part of the beyond. It is a companion of the ego and the identity and is localized for each of us. Without the mind you would not be you, but a part of the whole of existence. Awareness is that gate that goes beyond the mind and reveals the greater scope of our being. It reveals fullness, completeness and a totality of our being.It reveals the great potential within us all.

To be real

Knowing is superior to believing, because it is not acting. When you come from the heart source of truth within you, you are projecting authentic feelings that come from within the existence of you. You are not doing something out of memory, coaching or training of the mind. To be real only requires trusting what you feel to be true within you. So many people are confused as to how to act in many of life’s situations, because they debate to their selves in the mind what the proper response is.  An aware person feels what is right within the moment and responds from the truth within them, a living truth that is constantly aware of the proper response to every situation. To be aware is to know how to be human with a divine compassion that embraces all of life’s circumstances and manifests as a healing energy that reveals you are being true to existence within you.

The autopilot of awareness

Truth, is knowing the nature of existence as it relates to you in your awareness. It is a living knowing in which you remember yourself and the nature of existence as it pertains to love. You both know and remember how to get along with existence and others as the plan of your destiny and fate unfolds before you. You are no longer following a script dictated by others and the mind, but are self-guided through your awareness. You live from another point of awareness within you and not old scripts of the mind on how to act or be.  You are free in the sense that you no longer have to follow restrictive commandments, ideas and rules on how to act with yourself or others. It is a natural flowing of life from within you that feels right and is selfless in nature.

Whispers of Awareness

Whispers of Awareness

Words have no power without awareness

Words mean nothing, in some cases your word may mean nothing. When they are filled with hollow promises and unfulfilled hopes and dreams they are a useless exercise in imagination. Most of our days are filled with excursions into the imagination where we hope, fantasize and dream of our lives being other than what they are. This is because we do not come from the authentic center of our being and our awareness. Imagination is a fine tool for creating colorful imagery for books, paintings, movies and such, but it is not seated in the deep reality of you. It is a secondary product of the mind and almost useless in conveying the truth both to yourself and others. You may create a beautiful book, story or art piece but you cannot construct a beautiful you out of it. Awareness is the paintbrush of existence, painting a living story of your life upon the canvass of the moment of now. The colors of truth are what the universe uses to paint the real you, not the substitute colors of imagination unless you only want to be an actor and not real.

Trust

Trust is important in all relationships, it builds intimacy and reveals the power of love, it connects you to others and expands your view of life, others and existence. It opens the heart. To work together with your higher self and to receive whispers it is very important that you trust what you feel. That you begin to trust what you feel and share what you feel as directed.  It is very important to act on what you feel because the action grounds the energy of your awareness within your consciousness and manifests as love or light. The benefit to you is an inner recognition of not only what is true for you, but a deepening of the connection to your source or higher self. You will have a fuller sense of self and a growing recognition that you know more then you ever thought you did and that you are more than you ever considered possible. Trust is a great key and the final key to all healing within your awareness.
