Snap out of the Trance

Notice discomfort (what doesn't taste right) comes up to the surface to be purged or let go. Let awareness do what it wants to do. It will be drawn into the feelings and experiences outside and then on the inside of the skin. The inward environment has things to listen to. If you get hijacked by a thought, make no effort to get rid of it, change, alter or control it. Deep listening is simply noticing things as they are. The more you relax, the more the spaciousness grows obvious. What you miss before stands out. Awareness loses fixation on things so to rest in its natural state. Thoughts, feelings, objects arise. Amidst all this, tune into what openness feels like. In this sense of opennness, every moment, awareness is present. We need not exert effort to grow more aware. Space itself is highly awake. Entities are not "aware." Awarness does not originate at any particular point. Awareness itself is already in a profound state of listening. It is open, not picking or choosing, judging, fearing or manipulating. It is simply being itself. As awareness happens, you are no longer in the trance of thought. See and feel for yourself what its like to be awareness. No answer exists to questions of how to get here. This is not about a goal, not about controlling thought or feeling. Awareness itself is not aiming to change you. Everything happens spontaneously. Its simply drawing you into True Nature.

Feel into Inner Magic

Notice many people assume magic is the power of influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces, by using physical objects that briefly transfer insight into the same people. We are often conditioned to model, be like or inspired by others in order to evolve into what we believe are new versions of them. This moment is about shifting from living vicariously through others, by doing what we have been conditioned to do, to allow our inner guiance to shine. The true lotus arises from the mud. This moment is about daring bravely to uncover and reveal colours we have not seen or shown. New ways of seeing arise within. To be ready for a journey unlike any other, be open to what comes. Shift from noticing freak occurrences, and views of passing coincidence to synchronicity.

Clarity reveals itself

Notice the nature of what you see and experience directly reflects your version of the Truth. Everything you do and do not do is a language expressed as energy in motion. If you see your life as upside down and topsy-turvey, then confusion and vertigo seem very real. As you find balance in the middle of nowhere, then calm abiding grows more accessible. As you begin to expand and appreciate different points of view, then everything is a mirror. As you continue to work out what matters, and stay open to stretch yourself, explore new shores and realize nothing is out of reach.

Connect with Inner Beauty

Notice as we grow ready and willing to see more of ourselves, to integrate both light and dark, we suddenly grow more aware of the intricate details of our immeditate surroundings. As we feel more whole and complete, the scope of our multisensual experience expands. What ego was conditioned to overlook, criticize, or write off as ugly, repulsive, becomes cute, cuddle, beautiful. The more we come to see beauty in the external, the more in touch we are to innate beauty and no boundaries with our unique divinity. We are learning about the vehicle we created. Rather than identify with issues that arise, meet it and see it from the perspective of your greatness.  

Re-ignite the inner fire

(spider/ insect macrophoto by Bill Petland)

Notice we are taught to assume that many desirable abilities and experiences are rare or require effort, and enchanted worlds cannot exist. We are told fairytales are figments of the imagination, stuff we are meant to outgrow. Yet, what if its not natural to grow up and get serious in the mind and forget our child-like innocence? What if stories like Peter Pan remind us to be true and real? What if we have friends in unexpected places? What if what is in plain sight only registers if we are open to it? Watch what happens as we open the mind to the unthinkable. Our reality shifts. Tuning into the natural world re-ignites the inner fire, activates natural innate abilities and allows language and symbols of timeless consciousness to guide us.
