Be a friend to your fear
Fear is the foundation upon which the ego stands and it is fear that must be dealt with as the final door leading you inward to the awareness of self. It is a desperate attempt of the ego to remain in control of the identity that the mind has created and nourished for years. Fear keeps the ego in control and distracts the mind from coming to terms with the limits it possesses within the identity. Both the mind and the ego run from the source of truth within you, they seek to avoid meeting the real you in awareness.
Become a friend to your fears, invite them to introduce their self to you, let them speak and don’t turn your back on them. Surrender to the pain and realize that you are not the pain, but the one who observes the pain. Talk to the pain and the fear and ask them to reveal their secret. Pain is the final step of the mind and ego to hold onto you and keep you bound by a false identity. Awareness takes you beyond the identity molded by fear and into the truth of your being.
All you need to do
You will never find yourself through an astrologer, psychic, medium, channel, hypnotist, meditation teacher, guru or anyone practicing the healing arts. They can help you by pointing the way within, but no one can do it for you.
The work, the responsibility, the effort must come from within the person. It is a choice you have to make, a definite focused inner choice to feel and become aware of your inner life and self. You come to realize that your life always has been the only guide that you needed, because it is always leading you home and back to you within.
Accept who you are, where you are and reflect inwardly at what it all means. If you are sincere, honest and truthful with yourself the awareness will come.

Feel
Awakening is simpler when you begin to turn your attention inward and pay attention to how you feel. So much time is spent in thought and thinking that most people do not realize how they feel, until they hit a wall or begin to fall apart emotionally. It is your feelings that begin your relationship to awareness, just as imagination is a product of the mind and thought. Feelings connect you to all of life and you will not realize this until you explore them and realize this truth through awareness. Your awareness will prove to you that it is not just a figment of your imagination, but you will not know or realize this, until you begin to feel honestly what you feel.

Its natural
When you no longer make your mind the total center of your attention your natural awareness and whispers will begin. Awareness is a product of a consciousness that is not thought obsessed and ego controlled. It is your natural self, the self that knows itself intimately and deeply. You don't have to earn it, meditate for it or take a test for it. You just allow it to be the new center of you and it knows how to take over from there.

The opening
A vulnerable and unaware person will believe anything. Fear compels them to seek a solution to their pain. They will even surrender their freedom to avoid the fear and pain of vulnerability. They have not known or experienced awareness, so the mind seeks to pacify the ego by seeking or adopting a new identity built upon a belief or beliefs. These beliefs create a false identity in the mind, but it is usually enough to satisfy the pain and compensate for the insecurity of the ego.
They do not yet see or understand that at the end of pain a door exists where the mind ends and awareness opens. The separation of mind, ego and pain is the point at which enlightenment or awareness awakens. It is a burst or explosion within the consciousness that reveals a more spacious understanding of the nature of the individual and an opening of the conscious feeling nature.

Alive and Now
Your level of certainty is in proportion to your level of awareness. Spiritual guidance, healing or training does not come through an education of your mind. The mind is a machine and the universe is not. It is conscious and alive like you. Ever adjusting and expanding through awareness. Teaching and healing that comes through the mind is dead and unaware. Aware teaching and healing is alive and in the moment of now always.

True Knowledge
True knowledge comes from the heart of existence and concerns life, living and the nature of reality and truth. It deals with the unseen world and the method or means in which truth is manifested in the physical world.
Knowledge of the world concerns the ways and means in which man has chosen to live and the information gained from observing how the physical world appears to operate.
One is a form of observation of objects and the other is a formless knowing of the truth about reality. One can only satisfy the mind, while the other nurtures and feeds the heart and soul of the person.

Simply Life
Life expresses itself uniquely each moment. It is a spontaneous expression of being that flows effortlessly from within us. It has the qualities of pure joy and freedom within it. Its depth is unlimited and its purpose is creative and healing. It shows us the potential fullness of our being, if we do not limit it with our minds, thoughts, concepts and beliefs. It does not need to be labeled or told what it is. No permission is needed to allow it to be what it is. It is simply the natural essence of our being, the truth of who we are and always will be. (It is simply life and it only happens in the now…CJ Heck)

Are you in touch?
When you are not in touch with you, you are not in touch with the universe. You cannot be real and authentic, if you are out of touch with the universe. What you say, speak and do are programmed conscious and unconscious responses. You will say what other people say, do what they do, buy what they buy and you will think you are being a true individual, but you are not. You are a clone, a robot and a copy of the mindset of humanity as it now is. Deep inside you may be painfully torn between pleasing others and a sense you are selling something out. You are caught between the fear of disappointing others and the fear of rebelling within to find your truth. It can be lonely at first as you separate from the masses of humanity blindly obeying and following others like sheep, but sooner or later you will find those warriors of the heart who dare to reclaim their innocence and choose to be in touch again with the universe.

No time,no fear
Fear exists in the past as memories or in the future as expectations, but never in the moment. It requires the mind, thought and imagination to thrive. Even if you are in a dangerous situation, at that moment it is fear of your expectations and not the reality of what is happening that is disturbing you. Fear must have time, space and imagination to live and without them the moment dissolves into the now always. The timeline of thought follows the mind into space and time, while the moment of now transcends both and reaches beyond both into reality.

A silent awakening
We all have to find our place within the vision through our individual awareness. Remember the vision is not something like an idea that the mind would try to realize, it is silent and personal, individualized and without fanfare. It is your own unique expression of the eternal in that place that you find yourself. There will be no groups to join and no leaders to follow. You will know instinctively like salmon do when to swim up stream or like geese and fly south for the winter. The vision is not a movement of the mind or ideas, but a harmonizing of hearts and souls to a grand plan of awakening. We do not have to change anyone but ourselves, nor should we, and in that realization all hearts begin to gravitate to others in the proper time. It will never be group movements that change the world, but humbled hearts that recognize truth and what is the greater good for all. Love of ourselves first and our fellow man will compel us all to give birth to the vision.

Embrace the vision, expect the miracle
When hearts are inspired they work together in partnership
with the universe and existence. They see as eternity does the possibilities of
us all. It is the only time that differences of opinion and belief can be
transcended for the common good. No one is defending their self or their
belief, because they have seen beyond both and to what is the greater good for
all. Selfish interests are set aside and unity is the common goal along with
freedom of individual self expression. It is a time when a common vision is
shared and opportunity is given to work with something greater than any one
person can accomplish or any single person would dare to try. One person can
inspire others to act, but it takes others inspired by the action to make a
miracle happen. Do you want a miracle or are you just here to get inspired?

An open heart
The more that the heart is open, the greater the revelation of existence and the clearer your awareness. Awareness identifies you with existence, it removes your identification with ideas and thoughts. The experiences of your life are not mind generated anymore, they are moved by the winds of awareness within the sail of your consciousness and you glide on the ocean of peace within. It is trusting yourself again and most importantly trusting life. To trust life is to be true to your nature and to reveal the majesty of love that is within us all.

The opportunity to share
Whispers of awareness is an opportunity for you to reveal
your heart and feel the wonder within you. It is not about ideas, opinions or
beliefs, but what you feel and know within. Many are afraid of this because it
makes them feel vulnerable and afraid, because they don't trust in their
feelings. It is a global fear that if you become real or vulnerable that others
will either use you or take advantage of you. They may make fun of you or
attack you, you may be persecuted and laughed at. Little do they know that you
have taken a big step towards becoming aware and solving the meaning of your
life and existence. They have chosen to protect their ego, because their fear
needs it to survive.
You on the other hand have chosen to stop defending both
your fear and the ego. It is time to communicate with existence within you and
it is time to go home as well. Trust what you feel and share.

Trust
Just as the artist trusts their feelings to express the music, the poetry, the painting and their art, you must learn to trust YOU. The mind, the emotions, the thoughts and ideas all conspire against this trust by directing your awareness out into the world and not within. The awareness within you is innocent and undefiled, unpolluted by thought and the desperate desire to be in control. It rests within its knowingness and can feel the depth of its divinity. It is you, without all the labels the world has used to confine you.
You are creation, manifesting as form and choosing to express yourself as sparks of light awareness. Playing a game within your own being, eternally seeking the answer to the question "Why". Endeavoring always to return within yourself to the source of your existence. Never satisfied, never complete and unfulfilled till once again you find the place within called home.

Our Choice
The gift of BEING is knowing, it is identification with existence as a conscious aspect within it. Thought, emotion and idea are not needed to convey your existence or the experience of it. Time and space are not needed, because there is nowhere to go or run. There is no separation or division within you. Life is all that you are and life is all that is. You are aware of the point of existence that you are and you realize infinite other points such as you exist also. There is no hurry because the peace of your wholeness wraps around you like a mother holding a newborn child in a blanket near her breast. Satisfaction fills you as wonder is the blood that fills the veins of your consciousness. Freedom expands your awareness to infinite heights and choice is the only authority within you. It is then that you realize it is all your choice, our choice and it has always been that way and always will.

Your ultimate power
Your power is a two edged sword. It can raise you to great heights of realization and awareness or it can make you a prisoner of your own self created hell. Mind and awareness are the two arena's of human experience. We either function from our beliefs or we become more aware of ourselves and see how the power of choice brings about our circumstances. It is the unconscious and unnatural self that brings us to the depth of despair and destruction. It is the mind attempting to create a false identity that brings pain, disillusionment and despair. It is the unreal pretending to be the real you.
The mind deceives us by making us feel guilty for the ideas that it creates. Ideas that are not a part of our real nature. It keeps us trapped by the process of guilt. Guilt and all form of self judgment are condemnation within us, because we know that these thoughts, ideas and concepts are not our true nature. It is a craft way in which the mind keeps us bound by making us use our power of choice against us. We are the jail and the jailer of our own inner prison or we are the man or woman with the key that sets us free.
We have a choice to live from our mind created identity or the natural being within us. It is our greatest power. All our lives we have a choice between what the ego and mind want and what our hearts feel is natural and right for us. It is our individual choice as to which way we will go. No one can choose but YOU, it is your ultimate power.

Inner Wealth
Being a success in the world's terms will not make you happy, but your awareness will make you happier and more successful. The power, fame and wealth of the world come at a great price and that price is called peace of mind. At times it can feel that the weight of the world is on your shoulders and the closer to the top the lonelier you can feel. Trust is an important issue as others seek favors, pressures come as you can feel responsible for others and demands come from everywhere for you to be even more successful.
Worldly wealth , power and fame are a machine that can eat you alive and suck the blood out of you if you are not grounded in your awareness. Wealth, power and fame gained through awareness are bought with peace of mind and the approval of the universe. You do not sell out to those who might seek to exploit and use you for you are aware of such pitfalls. You move at a pace that is in alignment with your inner strength and knowing. You do what feels right to you and not just others. You know that you are here to serve others and not seek wealth, power or fame. If they come, who cares. The point is are you still aware and within your strength or have you lost perspective and are being carried away by the winds of false fortunes.

A mature expectation
The magic of life is blocked out by the reasoning mind. People want miracles, but they want them in a way that they can understand or that satisfies the mind and ego. Miracles happen when you least expect it. They do not conform to logic and understanding.
The main reason more miracles are not experienced is fear. The mind and ego are effective blocks on the spontaneous nature of the miraculous. Your focus is not on where the universe might lead you or show you, but more on what the mind and ego expect and how they would do it.
Life requires no thinking to be alive and miracles are not designed to conform to your understanding of them. Awareness is a part of the miracle that you are, just as life is. It is your birthright and a gift that you give to you. Miracles require nothing other than expectation, but a mature expectation founded in the awareness of your real truth.

Just accept and surrender
If you were to ask, what is the most important spiritual virtue or practice that leads to a deeper awareness, it might surprise you. So many are in a hurry to become aware or belonging to this and that group or practicing this or that technique and in many cases experiencing little results. Achievement is a great stumbling block to becoming aware, the idea that if you do this that what you want will just happen for you. You have no control over becoming aware, it just happens. No one knows the reason for this, some feel they should have to earn it, others feel they did earn it in another life. Who knows?
If there is a key to allowing awareness to naturally evolve within you it is in the words "ACCEPTANCE". Accept your life as it is, no matter how bad it seems. Let it show you that you really have nowhere to go but within. You cannot control anything except your view of what you think is happening. Acceptance does not mean do nothing, rather it says do what you have to do under the circumstances you are in. Do not seek to run from tragedy, fear or threat, but address each responsibly in their own time. Trust that the overall scheme of things is in good hands and you are being guided to your own greater good whether you understand it or not. Do not judge outer appearances or allow your imagination to dictate reality. Acceptance is a surrender that allows your true reality to manifest in its own time. It is your fate, destiny and your highest truth of expression in this lifetime.
Acceptance is allowing to be what is, without judgement of your mind and imagination. It shifts your attention from the mind and towards your feelings where your NATURAL awareness can reveal and address those issues that prevent you from being free. Fear is always an issue that must be dealt with to achieve greater awareness. You will create situations that address your fears and they can be very uncomfortable, bone chilling and stone cold chilling at times, but as you become aware of the root of fear within you also become aware of its deception and that leads to freedom from it. The most aware are always the most accepting and the most patient.

Manifestation or creation
All thought and emotion is time-based, as are most of the experiences in our lives. We believe they are real and our perceptions confirm that by experience. But not all of our beliefs or perceptions manifest in time and space. Some are passing thoughts, hopes and dreams, even fears that never manifest, because we never have total control over the outcomes. We think we do, but unless we know through awareness, we are just guessing.
The aware soul does not manifest from thought or emotion, not even through controlling time and space. It is not a manipulation of their energies. Manifestation from awareness is a partnership with existence and the surrender of our lower desires to a higher desire of our true identity. It is a co-creation that transforms the aware soul, also those for whom the transformation is meant to touch. The aware soul is a conduit through which the higher creative intent of the universe is expressed and given opportunity to take form. It is not a guarantee of anything, but simply an opportunity to consciously manifest a better form within existence.

Rebirth and awareness
You must come to the end of who you think you are before you can discover the real you. Nothing is more painful than being stripped of the veneer of coatings that have been put on you since birth. With each such stripping fear and vulnerability emerge in a desperate attempt of the mind and ego to cling onto your false identity. It often seems that your whole world is ending and the worst part is that you feel trapped in time with nowhere to run. There is nothing to cling to and no matter how hard you try the answer seems hidden and far away. You are stuck in the waiting room of your own true birth, with each contraction you feel the pain of having lived a lie and a suffocating desperation that seeks to breathe but cannot find any air. It's as if the walls of your life are caving in on you and the world that you knew no longer exists. Like a child leaving the womb, you must leave the outer world of your mind and be reborn within the womb of your own consciousness. It is the way of awakening awareness and rebirth.

Where is your identity?
The mind and ego need
attention, they need to be fed. Without thought to attract the attention of the
mind and ego they remain dormant. Mind and ego need an identity to feel secure
in this world and thought is the substance that feeds that need. Your mind and
ego are willing to identify with any thought that enters your mind, any mood
and this determines your identity in that moment.
When you refuse to permit
thought to determine your identity you are permitting your feelings to take
center stage in your consciousness, you are directing your attention within.
You are touching life and not ideas. You are choosing to be all that you are
through the revelation of your feelings. You have once again entered the land
of the living and the source of all existence and you. The difference between
the inner and the outer worlds is that in the outer world you exist in thoughts
while in the inner world you become aware through your feelings.

The choice
As you progress in our
awareness you are asked to choose between the real or the unreal. You are given
glimpses of awareness to discern between that which satisfies the mind and ego
and that which reveals the true nature of love and healing within. If you honor
those revelations a clarity begins to form that is in essence the real you and
the fate you are going to express within your true nature and being. This will
not occur overnight and there will be many attempts and some failures, but if
you seek love, a hunger develops that compels you to follow your true path of
self realization. The true and knowing self is always calling us home to our
essence, but until we are aware of this voice we struggle to leave the mind and
its deceptions of thought, emotion and imagination. It is not until we feel the
certainty of our knowing that we can honestly identify if we are moving
forward, stalled or slipping back.

The silent surrender
It is the struggle to escape our fears that adds to the misery of life. The mind, ego and imagination run from anything that calls into question our ability to exist and survive. This is why fear of death is such a strong motivator. The old look back on life with a nostalgia for those days when it seemed life would last forever, but time, their bodies and health all reveal that something's got to give. They realize that they are not in control and that surrender is as necessary as control once was. To make peace with life, to lay down the walls of resistance and fear and to simply be. To become aware of what matters and to accept the fact that any day may be your last. Truth, beauty, wisdom and real knowledge cannot be fought for, they cannot be bought or possessed. They reveals themselves naturally in a silent surrender to our vulnerability as human beings.

Your well of awareness
Your awareness is your presence within the real you. It is why you know and remember things without effort. No distractions or divisions exist within when you are aware. Time does not exist. Past and future do not interfere. You are consciously aware of but one thing: YOU. Memories do not provide an escape, because you do not seek to hide in them. The stillness fills you with a wonder that captures your being and beckons you to fill your cup full and taste the flavor of your new discoveries within. You realize that you have gone nowhere, but you are everywhere. No more questions torment you, because you have become the answer. Again and again you return to this place to rest, to remember and to fill your cup from the fountain of life which springs from the well of YOUR awareness.

Distractions and Awareness
The world is full of distractions. Physical, Mental, Emotional and even Spiritual distractions. They all have one purpose and that is to take your attention off your inner life and guide you down the path to nowhere. The path home is within you, no other path exists. To become dazzled by outer opinions, beliefs and experiences is to be trapped in the mind and emotions where the color of your true identity becomes blurred. You are no longer the know-er anymore, but a believer. You think you know, but you don't know you know anymore. The center of your awareness has shifted from the heart back to the mind and you are left with the uncertainty that the mind brings.

The innocence of awareness
We are body, mind and being. Attempts to go beyond this simple division only confuse the mind and shackle the individual with labels and descriptions that add blocks to a simple experience within your being. The ways of the universe are not the ways of psychology, therapy or psychiatry. The study of the mind is an observation of it, wholeness is the intention of the universe in a natural state of silent awareness. It is enough to know that you have a body and a mind and can witness your being within. Thought, imagination and emotion are all within the mind, they support the ego and help create the illusion of material existence. Awareness is the nature of your being. Being is the presence of consciousness minus the ego or without division in consciousness. Awareness manifests when we touch our being through the silence and return to our natural innocent state of being in consciousness.

Whispers are a work of art
Whispers are like works of art or poetry, you feel the energy in them and they touch the core awareness within you that bounces an "aha" back to your brain. Like fine music or opera they are perfect within themselves. No comment or question needs to be asked or implied. You feel their truth within you. Some wish to debate them out of a mental curiosity in the hope that they can outdo the whisper or the messenger of them. Others are compelled by a mental ego mindset to challenge them in the hopes of giving a superior response. Whispers are not about superiority or outdoing anyone. They simply and often beautifully reflect back to us the nature of truth within us.

Awareness is personal
It does not matter what anyone else believes or is aware of, your awareness is personal. Awareness should be shared and not compared against the beliefs and insights of another. It is not a contest that if you pass you get a gold star on your forehead. The universe is vast and incomprehensible to our minds and so is the level of awareness we receive. It is a journey that has many similarities, but many more that are dissimilar and cannot be judged. You must go where your awareness takes you and there is no outline for a destination. Your only confirmation will be that wherever you go in awareness you will recognize it and marvel at how you did.
