Fantasies or Truth?

Most people prefer to be caught in the fantasies of life, rather than to know the truth.

The mind and imagination under the control of the ego seek fulfillment in illusions, which fulfill the lust and desire of the body and mind. What is real within is ignored and avoided. What is felt as true is never encountered, or known, as reality.

Intimacy within the personal self and honest intimacy between hearts is the only way to know and experience truth. 

Healing only occurs when honesty with intimacy is experienced within, or with another.

Truth has no goal, other than the realization of our being.

The Knowing Consciousness

The mystery is us and within us. 

Too much is made of techniques, prayers, religions, and philosophies. We are the mystery and the way to understanding it. Techniques are fine, but only if they lead us to a place where we can abandon them and just experience self.

Techniques such as meditation allow our awareness to reveal the knowing consciousness within us. The knowing consciousness is the great I AM and awareness revels the scope of it to us and within us. 

Meditation is both a technique and a state of awareness in which the I AM reveals itself to us. We have found the core self from which all life exists and is experienced within.

We cannot find peace within until the searching ends and the knowing begins. 

Not until we know that we have reached the end of the line where no questions remain and the knowing reveals all that we have been searching for in consciousness.

Our True Self

We cannot understand ourselves, or know ourselves, without awareness. 

The ego and mind are barriers to true self knowing. Fear of true knowing of ourselves stands at the door of the mind and ego and dares us to avoid any confrontation with the unconscious.

We are asked to build an identity that masks our vulnerability and hides our insecurity. We create an imaginary life that distracts us from the well of life within us. We are actors playing a role that we fear to lay down, because our mind cannot prove there is anything beyond the role we have created and are playing.

We cannot begin to live, until we dare to stop acting and leave the stage of our imaginary life. 

Awareness reveals what is true within and beyond us. It naturally heals us by revealing the essential truth within. We do not have to act anymore, because awareness confirms and reveals the authentic self within us.

Awareness Groupies

A master can help bring awareness to the surface of our consciousness, but they may not be able to break our identification with them or the mind. They are a test to see whether we are ready to accept full responsibility for our growth in awareness, or if we will become an awareness groupie.

An awareness groupie does not have total commitment to their inner journey.  They need a fix to keep them going, or someone to hold their hand while they stand outside and fearfully peek into the unconscious. They do not trust completely the universe or themselves, desiring only to hold onto the world and peek inside when the world fails them again.

We do not grow in true awareness, until we embrace the master within and leave behind all outer influences and crutches. Many have tried to grow with a master and in the end become a victim of the master.

Oneness

Oneness only happens when there is no thinking, only knowing. It is the gift of awareness and truth.

The mind and thoughts are seekers of what is true, but awareness is the revealer of truth and who we are to ourselves and others.

Love is both a word and an experience. Words describe things, consciousness reveals them to us. One requires time and space for the mind to label them and awareness needs only a moment to reveal its truth to us.

In deep meditation, we sever the cord of the mind and enter the womb of existence. We are no longer the child seeking an identity outwardly, but the mother eternally creating within our consciousness from the unlimited awareness of existence.

Pretending

A whisper means nothing, unless we are able to digest it inwardly and assimilate it into our consciousness and it has become one within us.

Until then, they are just words that tickle the imagination and give hope to those who are oppressed by the mind and imagination.

Meditation is a commitment towards awareness and the inner journey.

We cannot fool the universe. Either we are in our minds pretending to be aware, or we are deep within our feelings -- and pretending is not needed anymore.

Awareness is freedom

Awareness is realizing who you are beyond the confines of the mind and body. Identification with the mind and body are what make you a player in the illusion of earth life. Your attention, which is where your light of awareness is shining is directed outward into the mind and body. You are an actor on the stage of ideas, thoughts and perceptions.

When you allow yourself to really feel and begin to trust those feelings they will reveal that you are not confined to your mind and body and that your awareness comes from and extends well beyond your earthly experience. This is a revelation through your awareness and cannot be revealed through the mind or your ideas. It must be experienced to be known.

Surrender is the process of allowing your awareness to reveal the depth and breadth of your beingness. It is discovering a door beyond the body and mind that has infinite potential and reveals the nature of your true identity within universal consciousness. Your truth is the revelation of your true identity within universal consciousness.

Bathing in Awareness

The heart holds the key to the reality of existence and of you. When it opens, a flood of conscious awareness rushes in; followed by an overpowering love that bathes you in the light of pure consciousness. It washes away the imprint of the mind and ego and you are bathed in an energy bath of pure innocent awareness. You are consumed by life and within it; no more separation of self exists. You become a child again and are filled with the wonder of your being. Wholeness is a flood of
awareness rising within an awakened heart and soul.
