The Importance of Self Trust

 For trust of self to grow a relationship must exist between mind and heart. If you do not trust yourself then you do not have a deep enough communion between mind and heart, an imbalance exists. Your thoughts may be out of control and your feelings are being ignored. A total trusting person allows their heart to direct them and the mind follows by providing the details. To become aware you must trust what you feel and not allow the mind to distract from those feelings.

The Myths about Death

All images and concepts of life after death are inaccurate and untrue. No idea exists, as reality after death. Images, ideas and concepts are attempts to explain the unexplainable. They do not hold the weight of awareness as a proof of reality in consciousness. Only through awareness can you experience the true nature of reality after you leave the mind and body form behind

You can't outrun the ego

As long as we live in a body we have an ego. Pure awareness does not exist in any of us. Not even the greatest enlightened masters lived without an ego. To have a body, to have a brain guarantee’s an ego exists. You cannot function independently of existence and not have one. No matter how aware we become we still will be plagued by subtle influences of the ego. It is like a dirty filter that prevents the passage of pure water into a container. This allows for a wide range in perception and expression of truth, but it can also dilute and contaminate a message which is true but impure in expression. Always remember that your personal truth is a discovery that will take many wrong turns and at times you will find yourself in dark rooms of consciousness. This is the meaning of the bible verse, we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Our hearts know very well what is our personal truth and the ultimate truth, but the journey home is filled with a maze of perceptions we all have to pass through.

The New Age Carnival

The New Age is dead, time to become aware. It died the moment people began to believe in it and stars of the movement collected legions of fans that followed their inspirations or delusions. It died a little more when people began to sell these insights or techniques with the hope that commercially it would be accepted by the general public. Rather than discover the depth of love within their self, devotee’s sought acceptance of the masses to soften the deep insecurity within them brought about a new understanding in consciousness. Money is now one of the main vehicles of healing and a certain commercial diluting to make hard truth acceptable to the masses. Sincere people become sales people for organizations and techniques that promise healing but offer little assistance. New Agers have become like the money changers in the temple that Jesus throughout because they were selling supposed spiritual favors with Jehovah. Awareness can’t be bought or sold. You do not take a course, pass a test and receive a diploma for awareness. Nobody can give it to you. You will discover it when you are ready and not till then. Every harsh experience in your life is calling out to you: Be More Aware. It is sad to see how commercially acceptable the New Age has become and how cheaply insight and wisdom is sold. P.T. Barnum said it very well, “There is a sucker born every minute!”

Knowing in the moment is the key to it all

We live moment to moment, without time and space seducing our mind and reason. Knowing is a natural extension of our awareness. As awareness expands knowing increases and with both come understanding. Comprehension of the infinite can only occur through knowing. No words, ideas or thoughts can express the infinite state of existence or being. In an aware state you know because you are and you have become what you know. No division exists within your consciousness as you become more and more aware.

No Regrets

The mind of a child is filled with the wonder of existence. The mind of a young adult is filled with the promise of goals to achieve and a multitude of plans. The mind of the old is filled with pain and regrets.  Only the aware regain the wonder of a child, realize the dreams of a young adult and are free from the pain or regret of believing they have lived life in vain.

There is no healing without awareness

There is no healing but awareness, everything else is sleight of hand and the peanut shell game. Mental techniques used to try and fool the subconscious mind and make you believe all is well within you. It is like putting a band aide on cancer and saying you are healed. The mind is our sickness and without awareness we are helpless against all its forms of trickery and deceit. It is a powerful aspect to our consciousness and can influence us greatly when we identify with its suggestions, but this is not healing. It is a dog and pony show in which you try to outwit the mind or fool it against its nature. The mind is never full; it is never complete or satisfied. It can’t be healed. You are only healed when you are ONE with your real self.

Coming to Grips

In order to come to grips with death you have to realize the mind and ego have no answer, they never will. It is only when you surrender through your heart to the vast universe deep within you that whispers begin to ripple like waves on your consciousness and reveal that you are far more than just a mind, idea's, thoughts and goals. You are existence itself playing in the sandbox called your current reality.

The Universe is not a Democracy

The universe is not a democracy. It does not rely on your vote or mine to decide what it will do and when. This may offend some, but it is the truth if you look honestly and deeply within. It is our responsibility to ourselves and the universe to surrender our ego's and rely more on the awareness within our hearts. That is our vote if we have one. Only in awareness do we become wise enough to share in the plan of existence, by becoming partners with the universe.

Life should Awe you

The moment you realize that you know nothing about life, the universe and yourself it all becomes utterly amazing. The certainty of the mind and ego mask the magic and splendor of the reality of existence.

The Sound of Silence

Silence is not without sound, but the sound can't be heard with the mind because it is telepathic. The voice of the universe and existence is telepathic knowing. Telepathy is whole knowing without the assistance of the mind. There is no idea being shared, existence is sharing itself with you.

The Need to Know

What you believe is not as important as what you know, and what you know is not as important as what you are. It is closer to the truth that you are what you know then you are what you believe. Knowing affects us much deeper then beliefs and lays a foundation for identity more real and lasting then beliefs

The Simplicity of Existence

There are three levels to our experience of existence. One is the body, two is our thoughts and thinking and the third consists of our feelings and consciousness. We can see our bodies with our eyes, know our thoughts through our mind and feel our being as consciousness that we can become more deeply aware of. Body and mind can only be experienced as duality where the observer observes, but with feelings our awareness can blend with consciousness and a unity exists. We can feel the consciousness that we are apart of as the life that we are living in the now. This is the revelation of the eternal life that is spoken of in scriptures and the true meaning of know thyself as a conscious being.

Nothing left to chance

Every event and circumstance in life fulfills the needs of the ego and the purpose of the universe. There always exists in each moment a plan and purpose which is executed by the ego, but designed by the universe. Awareness is the door that reveals the why and wherefore of all experiences. This duality allows for choices and consequences or rewards.

You are alone in awareness

Once you are aware, you are your own teacher. You see all of life as assisting you in a journey towards self fulfillment. Prior to awakening you could not see this, but life was still your friend. As awareness develops you realize each experience of life is assisting you in unfolding your own unique expression of what is true for you. The truth allows freedom for self discovery that is unique to you alone. No singular truth exists except for the ultimate truth.
