Trust Life

What stops you from living life more fully? How does it feel to trust life?  Its not simply a surface feeling. You do not hear the mind that uses logic, strategy, words.  You no longer see things as a series of projections and stages.  You no longer think you are deficient of anything.  Truth enters and speaks through the heart.  The feeling arises that you cannot be anything other than who you are.  At last, there is nothing to work out.  Nature sets the example for simply being.  And so it is.

Know the love you seek is here

Whatever the love you think it is you want, it is always closer than you think.  Notice where you search for it and why you continue to tell yourself that it seems to be beyond your reach.  What happens when you come to discover new ways exist to explore love and a new paradigm? 

You may be convinced you need to be somewhere else with someone else in different conditions to know love.  Notice what happens as you stop thinking as you are conditioned to think.  Be willing to discover the love you seek is here and recognize how everything points to it.

Even as you begin to sense everything is expressing love to you, you do not always love and accept everything as it is.  Notice what you feel about each part of the physical body.  Notice whether you secretly wish you looked different or that some illness or obstacle you believe exists was gone.  Notice what happens as you begin to see deeper into the choices before you.   Hear messages in all situations. Everything is a gift, a divine message.  What you see, shifts. 

Watch as you grow aware of the nature of your beliefs.  Come to better know yourself, and you cannot help but see through the illusion of fear.  What is it that this quality in your life is prompting you to do? How would someone who is fearless respond to situations in your life? To be fearless is to bravely walk through fear.  That which challenges you, expands you.

Reality is loving you by showing you to yourself.  Nothing in your reality is a mistake. Reality is a message from your spirit.  You are creating reality to guide you back to what the heart knows.

Do what comes naturally

Notice what happens as you allow what comes naturally. Sense what it feels like.  Reality does not change.  Only your perception of things evolves with awareness. Reflect on this;

1) Observe the external world calmly.  Take nothing personally.

2) Silently be aware of your thoughts.  Recognize each one is a pointer.

3) Listen closely to the body.  Nourish it.  Eliminate on cue and rest properly.

4) Detect heartfelt intuition and trust it.  Emotions are a gauge of how well you listen.

5) Love freely and laugh at the wonder of it all.

Love life

Watch what happens as you find a way to love or appreciate whatever is unfolding.  This is not the same thing as liking everything.  Its not allowing yourself to fear. It is about embracing everything.  Be open and receptive to all life brings you.  From the moment you love self unconditionally, you can love life, come what may.  As you truly love self, you truly love life. This means harbouring no fear, exerting no control and allowing the peace within to arise.  What a timeless gift this is.  Notice the sun shines equally on everyone without distinction.  Buddha calls this undifferentiated love.  Be at peace with love.  You have less arguments, you embrace life as it is. You are at peace with life.

See what's universal

Everything is a teacher. It need not be a human. It could be animal, vegetable, mineral or anything. Note that as long as you identify something as separate from you, you reach outside yourself for answers. You do not fully trust yourself as your own authority. Watch what happens as you view everything as a pointer or guide to the universal message conveyed in all situations. What is felt?

All experience is an invitation to see beyond the mind that identifies an apparent teacher. Recognize what is beyond the perception of 'personal', 'other' or difference.  The soul is pure unconditional love and acceptance. It has no filters to distinguish between 'you' and 'them'. It only sees oneness.

Take the example of a mind's perception of dogs. A human can watch a small dog approach a big dog and bark like crazy. The big dog barks too. The human imagines a scenario; one dog is standing up for itself, defending territory or competing with another dog. Humans imagine confrontation.

From the vantage point of soul, dogs are an energy form that does not recognize difference in size, competition or fear as human minds do. Dogs recognize likeness and universal language unless conditioned. They recognize unique scents and see oneness. They echo love is its own best friend.
