Notice what you overlook
Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 9:20AM Every moment, your conscious attention and selective awareness leave things out. You focus on limited dimensions of experience. The mind has you believe in a limited nature of reality. Events that shape your life are simply levels of magnification absorbed through physical senses. This ignores infinite levels of interconnected sound, vibration and frequency that are ever-present. Mind only detects what it is ready and willing to accept. What you do not see or hear, i.e., the silence, is as meaningful as what you do
Notice what you choose to overlook. Notice the thoughts and beliefs that selectively block degrees of seeing. Underneath the layers of reality you choose to experience, exist infinite layers of awareness and points of view. Notice what you lose sight of and who is forever present, noticing what is apparently left out but always here. Be that.
"It's a matter of seeing the original meaning of all things. The world is full of all kinds of meanings. But our minds are so fettered by the lies and falsehoods they make for themselves, that they cannot see the beauty, goodness, or truth of those meanings. Only a mind that has become free can see such things..."

Once upon a time.... everything said had meaning. They said it and they meant it by living it. The moment was honored. People were true to the word. Suddenly, the world was hit in the head and became dizzy. They could still feel the importance of what was once said by sensing the results of expansion brought upon by living the truth, but could no longer understand what was said. They began to feel that the past held the answer because of the beauty they had created. And with the advent of Science people began to believe that the future held the answers. So the world looked to the past and to the future to remedy what felt wrong. What felt wrong, was that they no longer felt Right. To feel Right.... one simply drops the notion of being wronged without looking to the past or the future for answers. The Truth has been Here all along. Once someone stops looking out into the circles of time for answers..... the solutions and meaning to Life are then miraculously lived. One simply stands up without the compulsion to fall down again. The world has survived the punch and its time to drink it as medicine.
The gift of the moment then has been over-looked when it is searched for in moments gone by or in promises to come.
